Hi all, I'm building my first proper build and have ordered a gigabyte r9 280x 3gb gpu found here: http://www.dabs.com/products/gigabyte-amd-radeon-r9-280x-1000mhz-3gb-pci-express-3-0-hdmi-windforce-3x-oc-90Z2.html?utm_source=awin&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_content=AW00&awc=3044_1388148309_993899bf3ef0f28cdea2d88e9e07aa1b
however having been on the phone with them, they informed me that it will be about 3 weeks to come in stock and its the same everywhere else for that price range. Me being the impatient kind, I started looking at alternatives. this Asus r9 280x in particular: http://www.dabs.com/products/asus-amd-radeon-r9-270x-1120mhz-2gb-gddr5-pci-e-3-0-hdmi-directcu-ii-top-oc-91BG.html?src=1
it is in stock and reading online, people seem to be suggesting that you don't really need over 2gb graphics with one display. I have a dual monitor set up but one is a lot bigger than the other and I use that one only for gaming, so I was wondering what your advice is.
Is the difference performance wise that big that it's worth waiting for so long?
Thanks a lot
