I was just wandering what do you guys think is the better card for a heavily modded Skyrim on the highest settings, and the ability to play Battlefield 4 at high-ultra settings. After looking around i discovered that the XFX has a lot more to offer in performance department, but has a lot of mixed reviews. So what do you guys think?

Considering that the 280x had more performance and is chapter I'd get it. But i wouldn't but that one a the seller is a person. Businesses are fine for buying on Ebay, but i don't buy from people.

Btw, there is a 280x in our FS/FT forum right now for $225. I haven't looked at his heat or references. But would be a great deal if he checks out.
Hi zacw812 ,
both cards are good but it depends on what you are using the card for , gaming , rendering , both ?
If you require advanced PHYSX then the best option is the 670 if doing rendering etc
for gaming alone then the xfx will be fine .
IMHO the 670 is the best all round card
