I am nearing the purchase of a new graphics card, and I have it narrowed to these two.
Now obviously the 280X is better. However I plan to OC whatever card I get. I have read the 7950 was always able to OC to be better than a 7970 at stock.
However I am wondering if I take both of the cards and OC them as much as I can, would it be worth the extra money to get the 280X?
I have seen benchmarks of the 280 being closer to a 270X than a 280X. And I have seen in the same ones of a 280X being closer to a 290 than a 280.
So I am really not sure where the value of the 280 is more than anything. I am pretty sure they are both based off of Tahiti and I am unsure about the upper limits of both cards while OC'd.
Also, would waiting a month on Tonga be worth the wait?
Please let me know
Thanks.
