Actually, ASUS one will run much better on one monitor because of higher frequencies and because 4gb vram is overkill for that card. Take Sapphire only if you will go multimonitor(you'll need 3 monitors for FPS games because of aiming and for a lot of other games, altough some require only 2 in multimonitor setup). If you will be playing in FullHD(1920x1080) go with ASUS, it also has DirectCU II tecnology which allows GPU to run 20% cooler and 3x quieter.

Most manufacturers cards will be the same. The only difference will be cooling and power systems. While your sapphire might overclock better than one persons ASUS the same is also true the other way round, This is how overclocking works. There will always be the amazing AMD chips and the weak AMD chips that only just do stock speeds. Not to mention the ASUS has 2 awards.

Asus has great products all around. Very high rep... so I'd say ASUS. Their r9 series cards have been tested to perform very well with their great heat pipe config and duel fan.

just a tip....it go with the r9 280x over the 270. More compatibility, options, resolution, and better clock speeds and better rated cards.I like the xfx R9 280x myself cause of the lifetime warranty and a sleek design.

I know the chip is the same, I was talking about the cooling... And the cooling on the Sapphire is better, allowing for bigger overclocks

They both have a 2-fan custom design. Sapphire don't tend to use stock cooler designs but since the ASUS is also custom it should be at least as good as the sapphire. And maybe the OP doesn't want to overclock?

Straight from the Asus site... You can't believe in everything. The Asus is a very good card, but I just think that the Sapphire is the best one

ganon's right im not really looking to overclock, im going to go for the asus i think. I have one main 1920x1080p monitor and i just wanted a graphics card which could run the upcoming next gen games without the hassle of overclocking and overheating really. Cheers to everyone.
