Hey everyone, i want you to help me to choose from Asus r9 280x DCII Top or reference (without OC) and Msi r9 280x gaming oc (or reference model).

I don't change my cards ofte, i want a solid video card who resist, to be silent, cool and good performance.

I read a lot from artifacts problems on Asus cards, becouse the overvoltage (6400mhz instead of 6000).
Is goo if i take the reference model? with 850 mhz? instead of 1070? will be too too much difference in games?

Msi have problem with coil whine and lose oil.
I want to know if other revision appears, if that problems was fixed.
Thank you!

those problems are somewhat isolated to people just getting a bad gpu that needs to be returned and people overclocking the card.

both cards are great just choose the one on sale or flip a coin.

I think as well they overclock more the card, but if they don't, is not isolated at all! i read at least 20-30 bad reviews with artifacts, and really scared me.
Is the most expensive card i ever buy, so i want to make best decision

I read that the Asus force cards a bit, and i need to underclock to 1500mhz(6000mhz) to not have artifacts
