Hi guys. Since we are talking about 280x, I have a quick question.

I was set on SAPPHIRE r9 280X TOXIC because it was suppose to be value for money.

Then I came across SAPPHIRE R7 265.

I compared both and deduced that the 280x is more than twice the price, but does not provide twice the performance.

I think the 265 is thus better value for money.

Am I right? What do you sifus think?

1. Thanks for the suggestion. It seems that the the 280x can allow me to play Dota at 120fps while 265 will max out at 60fos. I guess... That's double the performance?

2. Yes, I'm getting a new rig. I only do so once every 4-5 years and there is always so much catching up to do. Newer GPUs consume less power, produces less noises and do so much more compared to my current rig.

3. I choose GPU first and build other parts around it. Most likely will go with i5-4690k.

Thank you sifus.
