I would choose the Sapphire. I had excellent experiences with lesser XFX cards, but a XFX HD7970 I bought was so hot and loud that I returned it for a Gigabyte Windforce3 model, which is much better. The R9 280X is essentially a rebranded HD7970, so I'd be similarly concerned about a XFX version of this card too.

Ok thanks. Anyone is still welcome to add to this before picking the solution!

yes, the 280x is basically rebranded 7970 GHZ edition as noted.

i used to have two of the Double D 7970s in crossfire... never had heat issues with them, but I do have a very well ventilated case. Either way, wiht just one in any decent mid tower, the Double D should have no problem staying cool.
