The 280X is a bit faster, I went with the Asus DC2T and love it, their Matrix is clocked a little higher as base. Haven't really had any time to play with mine, but took it to 1150 with no problem, once I get a few free hours will play more ;)

Thnx for that, I've been looking for hours trying to find a comparison.
Do you by any chance know the difference between the plat and non plat version?
The only difference I've found are clock speeds, but if I can oc both equally theres no point in dropping an extra 50 on the plat version

Just found out I can get a phew of the 280x cards and they're all cheaper, would love an opinion on those as well if possible

Asus matrix is €20 less
Asus DC2T is €50 less
Gigabyte radeon is €90 less
Sapphire vapor-x is €90 less
Sapphire dual-x is €100 less
Club3D King and Queen are both €90 les
