Title: Need advice on which 280x flavor Post by: captainbluff on April 02, 2014, 02:18:19 AM Planning to upgrade the cards in my rigs, looking for advice on which card R9 280x card I should go with. I want to hear from those who currently have these cards deployed. What do you guys like and not like about the cards?
I'm have narrowed my decision down to 3 cards MSI 280X http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FR6XPL8/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00FR6XPL8&linkCode=as2&tag=crypto0d0-20 ASUS R9280X-DC2T-3GD5 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FT2S4BG/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00FT2S4BG&linkCode=as2&tag=crypto0d0-20 PowerColor 280x http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H8ZQZ54/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00H8ZQZ54&linkCode=as2&tag=crypto0d0-20 Title: Re: Need advice on which 280x flavor Post by: grendel25 on April 02, 2014, 06:50:41 AM I'm using the Asus you listed and love it. 750+ kh/s with very little tweaking effort.
