Difference between Sapphire Dual-X cards?

CoreOxide · Dec 24, 2013

Hi,

Sapphire has two identical Dual-X Battlefield 4 edition card on display on the website.

Besides the fact that the coolers look a bit different, is there anything else?

I also noticed that the top card has 2x8 PIN power connectors, while the one below has 1x6 and 1x8.

I'm using the PC for mining + gaming, so power draw is an issue.

Anyone has any more insights?

If a video card has two 8 pin connectors then that means that it needs more power to run then a card with one 6 pin and one 8 pin.

The top card is a HD 7970 Dual-X and the bottom card is a R-9 270x or R9 280x so they are different models.

Thanks inzone, but they are both R9 280x cards, that is the reason I'm asking. See here:

Since they are both 280x cards then the difference is in the default/boost GPU clock speed , the top card is a higher speed and the second card is just a bit lower clock speed.
