which of these r9 280 gpus is the best i want high quality graphics - ultra/very high and good fps for smooth gameplay.

SAPPHIRE AMD R9 280 Graphics Card (3GB, DDR5)

XFX Radeon R9 280 DD Edition Graphics Card

VTX3D AMD Radeon R9 280 X-Edition Graphics Card (3GB, GDDR5, PCI Express 3.0)

or Sapphire R9 270X 2GB Toxic 1100MHz GDDR 5 PCI Express Graphics Card 3 fan (yes i know its not 280 :) )

Get the one with the highest clock speed. So Sapphire (I couldn't find a spec page for the VTX3D card) then overclock. A R9 280 OCed to the speed of a R9 280x will only perform 1 - 2 FPS slower.

Sapphire or XFX will act similarly in terms of performance/Cooling , lots of people will recommend sapphire just because its the most trustworthy Card Producer in the AMD family but XFX make quality products too with lots of good cooling , I haven't heard about the third one TBH. So between XFX and Sapphire choose whats cheaper/looks better.

Having 3 fans would make it cooler better, but it lacks in performance in comparison to the R9 280.
