Also, will it pair well with an AMD fx 6300 or should I spring for the 8350?

i'm using the dual X version, it's FAST @ 1080p. now bear in mind that the 285 is already out with newer feature sets you can try to consider that card as well.

also i've been advocating that radeon cards are "broken" without radeonpro. this 3rd party software adds dynamic vsync. (try playing ac4 blackflag with DVsync on and off).

what version of sapphire are you going with?

I bought a Dual X Sapphire r9 280X 3GB last night. How does yours hold up with modern titles (Next Gen) games?

well the most demanding game i have here is crysis 3 and it's running pretty well (better than the gtx650ti boost that i used to have). the only next gen title i'm looking out is nba2k15 which will be dx11.

games run well because i have dynamic vsync.

Lol, so you are a fan of AMD pro huh. I used the D3D for v-sync which the same function as AMD pro.

AMD pro= D3D + MSI afterburner.

i don't think you can setup game profiles in afterburner (correct me if i'm wrong). the good thing with radeonpro is that when i fire my old games, resident evil 4/re5 you stick from 500 to 700mhz coreclock and the game will still be buttery smooth which result in less heat.

What do you mean by 500 to 700mhz core clock? CPU core clocks?
AMD pro and Afterburner+D3D has basically the same function.

yeah but you can't set them up to change clocks automatically when you run the game. and yes i'm talking about core clocks.

So, I don`t know that you can change the core clocks in AMD Pro.
Yes it`s nice feature and you should utilize that.
