Hi
I need anyone who has a, or knows well enough about the XFX R9 280. I want your views on the card and how you feel about it.
Also tell what your build is and how it runs the games you play.

Thanks

My specs are in my signature. I play everything from Battlefield 4 to games like Sleeping Dogs, Outlast, Metro: Last Light... Only game I have to 'turn down' so to speak was Tomb Raider, and that was only to disable SSAA (renders at 4k I think). Even Metro: Last Light (which is extremely demanding) runs at maximum settings smoothly. Only thing I disabled for that was PhysX which my GPU isn't suited for. Games like Battlefield 4 run at 1080p max settings with 60fps, with resolution scale set to 100%, not 200% (again, because that would render at 2k).

Ehm...I have an R9 270X and it runs every game at very high or maximum settings. R9 280 is around 5% better so it would run every game maybe close to max/max for every game. I overclocked my GPU so it'd probably perform the same.
