Im planning to buy new card in range 200-250 euros,and i would like to hear more opinions.
Card will be mostly for games (Aion the most),and also for video editing (Adobe Premiere,After Effects...)...Found Asus Radeon R9 280 3GB GDDR5 R9280-DC2T-3GD5 for 214 euros,and i think its really nice price and card.Tell me which card to buy? thanks

Well, 280x version of this card is much more expensive,so i wont go that far...You know how its going...start with 150 euros,ends with who knows which price.I heard for games Nvidia is better,especially for Aion,so was thinking about that too,but its again much more money.So this 280 sounded nice.And one more thing to ask : is the Asus the best option for 280 card or at least really good option?
 


yeah, in order of good amd card manufacturers

1.sapphire
2.xfx
3.asus
 


nvidia are more power efficient but tend to be more expensive and powerful, and gpuboss is quite biased i hear, I'd recommend you go for the sapphire as their cooler keeps the temps down really well

Yeah,i heard Nvidia is better,but also i hope that ill get good fps in Aion (especially in crowded areas and sieges ) with that 280.Atm i dont have any other option than that r9 280.

Well.Aon is strange game....You need to have really good pc to run it good.Atm with my i5,16gb ram and ati 5770 i have 12-20 fps on sieges with lower details...
