Asus vs Msi Radeon R9 280x 3Gb

Hi
I was wondering which company I should get the r9 280x from. Both are the same price and same amount of memory.

Both are excellent brands. Check the clock speeds for the core and memory on both cards, then get the one with the highest clock speed.

I got the Asus 280X CU when it was first released and was a great card, used it about 3 before before selling it and moving up to a pair of Asus 780s

I would take the ASUS card, I have the MSI card and I'm not satisfied with it, the fans are leaking oil and this is a very common problem with MSI's Twin Frozr cards.

Have seen something similar of the Frozr

I love my Asus R9 280x DCUII Top card. I have it overclocked to 1150 Mhz and the voltage to 1.2. It works wonderfully!
