Hi all,

Looking at getting a new graphics card, was looking at a R9 280 x. Looking at newegg, and they have three Sapphire cards that to me all look the same, but they vary in price. Can someone help me out and tell me the difference between the following three cards, which are all Sapphire AMD R9 280 X Tri-X 3 GB GDDR5, and all seem to run at the same clock frequency?

$305:

I believe that they are sold by different companies.

So newegg wouldn't buy directly from Sapphire, some other company would buy from Sapphire and sell to newegg and then newegg sells it online? I always assumed they bought directly from the manufacturer (why pay a middle man, it cuts into profit)

Newegg is doing something like Amazon where if you're a smaller company they will allow you to post on their website. I'm sure at least one of the links you posted are the on Newegg bought.

All three cards (all three links in my original post) say that the product is sold and shipped by Newegg, no mention of another company (I know what you mean about Amazon, I have seen that on their site, but all three of the cards I listed clearly say the product is sold and shipped by Newegg)
