I was looking around today for a graphics card and I stumbled on 4 of the same cards but they have slightly different number designations which im not familiar with.
I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on what are the differences in the 4 cards and if there is a easy way to tell what some of the letters/numbers combinations mean.
I tried researching it but i couldnt really come up with anything. Im assuming its the chipset/compatability with motherboard, i.e. one has a "4L", the other 2 are "5L" and "2SR". One says Tri-X, the last one is $200 more ect. i can understand if some of that is just marketing mumbo jumbo.
Im sort of a noob at this now since i havent shopped for one in a long time so explain it like im 5 if need be. Any help would be fantastic.
1. Radeon R9 280X
2. Radeon R9 280X
3. Radeon R9 280X
4. Radeon R9 280X
Thanks in advance.

It seems that Newegg is just trying to clear it's stock of their 280X's. The last one is not sold by Newegg so it isn't surprising it has a silly price. The other 3 just seem to have different core clock speeds and memory clock speeds. They all have the same cooler so you can just OC to get the same clock as a factory OC'd card. Just get which ever one is cheapest.
