Title: Radeon 280 vs 280x Post by: PeerMedia on March 18, 2014, 09:08:50 PM Does anyone know the difference between a 280x and 280 for altcoint mining (LTC)? The prices of 280x are through the roof but 280′s are still affordable. They have the same number of shaders and they seem to be marginally the same? Anyone have experience with a 280?

Title: Re: Radeon 280 vs 280x Post by: PeerMedia on March 19, 2014, 12:39:14 AM I just double checked and you're right, its the same number of shaders as a 7950, not as a 280x. Has anyone tried it for mining? Same on all other fronts as a 7950?
