I have a Sapphire R9-280X 3GB. I don't know how much is the difference but I can play Skyrim in Ultra settings with it in 1080p resolution.

thanks for the replay, but that would be like comparing a gtx 650ti to a gtx780

You could look up for the specs of the 260x and the 280x and compare them. Since this is my first card I don't know how much the numbers tell in performance but if you're good in deducing the performance just by comparing three cards, then you may have an idea of its performance.

I recently saw Skyrim running at a solid 60fps. All the games run fine with this card, even bf4 on ULTRA suprisingly. I havn't seen many benchmarks on mmorpgs like GW2 but it's generally known to be better fps(frames/second) then any FPS(first person shooter). I did see a video of a guy playing WoW on highest settings with 60fps. I would say this card will perform well for the price, better then expected. I just purchased one because of its capabilities to play any game in 1080p. If you want a higher resolution you'll want to go with a 270x or 760 gtx for the higher memory capabilities.
