If you can Find the older 7970 for a lower price ( Much Lower ) then go ahead get it if not then get the 280X as it has somethings tweaked from the older 7970

the 280X is a rebranded 7970GHz with tweaks
EA Games had designed Battlefeild 4 to be optimal with the R9 series GPU. So it will be better for gaming. And Hence Mantle. i.e r7 280x

I have the MSI 280x and friend has the 7970. They are the same card in most benchmarks they are like 1fps apart.

Its really down to the price , if the R9280X is slightly higher but not out of sight then get it , has tweaks and benefits from Mantle.
If the 7970 Is found at a much lower price then go ahead grab a bite. Its all down to you my friend

I would really recommend to buy 780 if you have 400 pounds. It will max-out Unity, and probably max out any game of 2015. I cannot GUARANTEE this too you but most probably.
