Best graphic card under $200 USD



Is a 3-5% gain worth an extra $20, which means price goes up by 12.5% Also, who buys HIS models?

the R9 285 truly is a lateral for AMD. At the end of the day it brings a very minor 3-5% performance increase over the R9 280 with virtually no change in price or power consumption. Functionally speaking it’s just an R9 280 with more features.

If no one bought HIS there would be no HIS.
To clarify... I find it pretty Impressive to achieve more performance with 256bit ddr5 and is move for efficiency just 2gb is all and as they say is really no issue at 1080p.
I find it worth the price of a case of beer and a good xfire option.
 


If the budget is $200 then I assume price is important. So, a $160 280 seems pretty sweet. And you can get one from a more trusted brand than HIS. Personally I have MSI and Asus as the top two and Sapphire close. HIS is somewhere near PowerColor...woof.

But then again there are 0 reviews on newegg for that HIS model. Kinda weird considering the 280 came out months ago....I'd really like to be the first to try, buy and review it. not.

First 20 bucks then 40.. When both are actually wrong now that I look at it.

Many People would tell you that MSI has quality control issues and not to buy them.. all really just apples and oranges man since any brand is fine and if something is wrong they will take it back.
