Title: Which model of 280x Post by: condemor on January 14, 2014, 01:52:48 AM Hi all, im planing to buy a 280x for mining and gaming, and maybe adding another one in the nearly future. My question is, which model should i buy? I was thinking about Asus 280X DirectCU II TOP, but i dont really know if it worth the diference of 30€ with the Saphire Dual X. Thanks!

Title: Re: Which model of 280x Post by: crazyates on January 14, 2014, 02:51:49 AM Asus, Sapphire, MSI, and Gigabyte are all very good brands. I don't mind PowerColor, but they're not the best. I stay away from VisionTek, Diamond, XFX, and HIS. They're all junk.

I've built my 5x 280x xfx rig that's been rock solid for a few weeks now, each at 730kh with 1.5% rejects Are they going to take a crap on me or what?

Title: Re: Which model of 280x Post by: condemor on January 14, 2014, 09:11:58 AM I''ve readed that the sapphire dual X have not a cooling sistem on the memories, is that true? As far as i know, memories work hard on scrypt mining and the should be cooled.

I've built my 5x 280x xfx rig that's been rock solid for a few weeks now, each at 730kh with 1.5% rejects Are they going to take a crap on me or what? They have issues with VRM cooling. As well as the Powercolor model. Title: Re: Which model of 280x Post by: condemor on January 15, 2014, 02:35:37 PM Can someone confirm if the saphire dual X has cooling sistem on the memories and vrms? I still havent decided, there are a diference 20/30€ between the saphire and de DirectCU II TOP... should i consider another model? Cheers.

Title: Re: Which model of 280x Post by: sammart57 on January 15, 2014, 07:07:45 PM I have the asus r9 280x.. (v2 model) I can't say I've been overly pleased with them. They use a ton of power and I can barely get mine to about 700 kh/s per card
I was expecting 750+ when I bought them, no such luck with any of about a million different cgminer config settings.

As well as the Powercolor model. so should I be looking to offload my rig with 5x XFX 280x? they seem to run about 69c with a vornado fan blowing on them, turn the vornado off they they creep up mid 70c with one hitting in the 80's for some reason. Title: Re: Which model of 280x Post by: G K G on January 15, 2014, 08:41:05 PM use MSI R9280X GAMING3G . My friend uses one. he gets about 770kh/s stable.
i have 2 sapphire vapor x, each gives 720kh/s stable Title: Re: Which model of 280x Post by: CoinPopper on January 15, 2014, 10:13:59 PM I like the MSI ones too.
