Title: r9 280x Sapphire Dual X Boost OC or Gigabyte OC Post by: razamit on February 27, 2014, 07:01:14 PM Hey
I am building another 6 GPU setup I cant decide between the two. Here are my thoughts:
So which one should I get? any toughts? Title: Re: r9 280x Sapphire Dual X Boost OC or Gigabyte OC Post by: crazyates on February 27, 2014, 07:16:24 PM We've got dozens of Gigabyte OC 280x, and they're all at 740-770kh/s.
If your friend is only getting 680kh/s out of his, then he needs to learn how to tune. I would tell you to buy from us (see my sig), but we're OOS ATM. Regardless, they're still a great card.

guess its all Gigabytes for me :) Would love to buy from you but I live in Israel :) Thanks for the advice!

Mem clock 1500, core clock 1000 - 1125 go up in 5mhz increments till the kh falls off. If the card will hold mem clock 1810 go with core clock 1130 - 1150 for 775 - 810 kh Difference is the bios f60 or f70 And I have them all undervolted 20% Hope that helps you. Axco.

My results are almost exactly the same as yours. You must have all F70 cards. The F60 cards are the ones that are pushing it to get 750.

How do I know whether they are f60 or f70? Title: Re: r9 280x Sapphire Dual X Boost OC or Gigabyte OC Post by: coin123123 on March 06, 2014, 09:52:23 AM 2 of my 7 sapphire burned, its shitty cards, go with gigabyte
Title: Re: r9 280x Sapphire Dual X Boost OC or Gigabyte OC Post by: crazyates on March 06, 2014, 02:28:06 PM Got my 6 Gigabytes today! Download atiflash and have it read your current BIOS info. You can also use the Gigabyte @BIOS utility if you're in Windows, but I'd recommend using the DOS ATIFLASH utility to flash the new BIOS.How do I know whether they are f60 or f70? Yes, ONLY use the BIOS I linked to earlier if your cards have the F60 BIOS. If you have the F70, you're all set. They are not compatible with each other, and can't be swapped. Meaning you can't use a F70 BIOS on a F60 card, of vice versa. |
