Need advice on which 280x flavor

[captainbluff]

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

I'm using the Asus you listed and love it.  750+ kh/s with very little tweaking effort.

Out of your selection, it would be MSI. The Sapphire Toxic and Trixx are the better cards.

Go for Asus or Sapphire if available they are the best.

Go for the Gigabyte WF3 280x. We were running 33 of them at one point, and we never had a card below 740kh/s. They are stable, cool, quiet, undervolt extremely well, and hash like mofos.

+1 on Gigabyte

I have a 280x thats above 730K

Thanks for the feedback. I'm hearing a lot of good things from MSI and Gigabyte.

I've heard bad things about recent MSI 280x's: voltage locked/unknown vrm, and fans crap out in no time

Huh?  The Asus, dude.

Go with Asus or Sapphire , MSI fan quality is quite cheap , lots of them get RMAed
