Hi All

I feel like I have been looking at graphics cards forever and have seen three options that fit my Budget;

Sapphire Dual x R9 280 OC - £140
Gigabyte Windforce R9 280 OC - £150
XFX Radeon R9 280 Double D Black Edition OC - £155

Ideally I am looking for the quietest out of these cards but also I am looking to OC. Anyone have experience of any of these cards? should I just go the cheapest even though out the box it has the lowest OC and performance?

Regards

They are all good card manufacturers. If you want the best chance at getting a good OC, you may want to try the fastest of the 3. It may have a higher binned GPU that the others. No guarantees, just a possibility. As far as noise, I've really never been able to tell the difference in sound between cards of the same design.

I got the Asus r9 280 about 2 weeks ago, so far so good. Havent put it through the ringer yet though. We shall see how it performs other than in benchmarking.

I might add, I have the Sapphire Dual X 280 in my other rig (Phenom II X4 @ 4.0 GHz) and it has been flawless. Quiet too.
