Sapphire R9 280X Dual-X vs Vapor-X

[marios_kalia]

Hey guys, I have a question. I want to buy the Radeon R9 280X and I the cheapest I found was The Sapphire Dual-X from Overclocker.co.uk. So my question is if it is a good card and how much difference does it have from the Vapor-X version. Which on is better?

Why do you recommend Vapor? Is there really a big difference between the two?

Well the vapor will give better performance and a better overclock and seeing as how the price over where I live are near the same for both why mot get the better one

Vapor is clocked higher, and claimed to be built with better quality components.

You wont regret it. It has a nice cooler. Although me personally I do prefer the Asus line of Dc2 coolers

For the HD 7970, I know that the Vapor-x was one of the greatest, bur after checking some reviews, it seems that for the R9 280x, the Asus DCII Top is a bit better.

 

[buklau]

is this the same for the 270x versions too?

dunno about asus dcii. i own a r9 280x vapor x and its perfect. what made me choose it is because of the backplate and the sapphire led lights i also read about the noise and temp issues but so far, i didnt experience any of that. gpu load of 80% and my temp is only about 62C.

 

[jethrov]

what sapphire LED? show us!

I read that asus r9 280x has artifacts.
