Title: R9 280x Vs R9 380x
Post by: Squall10 on October 22, 2016, 06:08:35 PM
Hello,

 I would like to know if it is worth to upgrade from a R9 280x to a R9 380x for a price difference of 20 Eur ?

 I manage to get 17,5 MH/s while mining Ethereum with a R9 280x.

 Thank you.

Yes it is worth the extra 20 euros. I have heard hashrates of 20MH+ on Tonga chips. is it a 4GB model?

The R9 280x is a MSI Gaming OC one. The R9 380x is an Asus Strix.

My 380X cards hash ETH at around 23MH/s.  Sapphires and Asus cards.  BIOS mod.
They are excellent buys when second hand.

I was asking about the memory, not the model.

Definitely the 380x then, not doubt about that. you should get 20Mh/s+ with this card.
