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.
