Edgerunner :
Been doing research and I keep seeing very mixed reviews for the R9 280X's on Newegg but the reviews for the cards do seem positive when people preview them.
Is this GPU good or not?
I am not tech savy so please don't throw numbers at me LOL.
Simple answer? Yes. According to reviews and benchmarks it's a bit worse than the GTX 770, but none the less a GREAT card. Some of the reviews are made on «branded cards», cards from EVGA, Gigabyte and all of that..... I would reccomend the EVGA one if you have the chance and an Asus one if you don't (price differences are...... well quite big). This business is all about luck: you can buy a top high-end card that stops working after a couple of months and a crappy one that lasts till the day you die..... maybe not that much
. Hope I helped and if you do have any other questions feel free to ask them!
