Title: URGENT advice needed - R9 280x or 7970 ? [CLOSED] Post by: thenoblebot on December 17, 2013, 08:08:20 PM Hey,
I JUST HAVE TO GET A CARD in the NEXT 12 HOURS !! From what I have read R9 280x is just a modified version of 7970 . So R9 280x costs extra too . Should I opt for a 7970 or a R9 280x ? Any reason to opt for one or the other ... seeing around seems like the hashrate looks somewhat the same (correct me if I am wrong). Anybody who has experience or knows some technical details about hese cards ? Regards Title: Re: URGENT advice needed - R9 280x or 7970 ? Post by: techguy on December 18, 2013, 02:08:56 AM Yes, R9 280X is the modified version of 7970. But price wise R9 280X is much cheaper than 7970. So I would suggest go for R9 280X.

Any specific version of R9 280x that I should get ? I am getting the plain Sapphire R9 280x .... does that model have any drawbacks or cause any problems ? Title: Re: URGENT advice needed - R9 280x or 7970 ? Post by: techguy on December 18, 2013, 09:18:57 AM Any model in 280x would be fine
