Best R9 280X Graphics card

[tom1234567]

So i have started a few forums to find out the best graphics card for my budget. I eventually decided on the R9 280X card. When i went to take a look at the market for one there was a lot of different 'Types'.

So which one is better out of;
XFX R9 280x
VTX3D R9 280x
MSI R9 280x
RADEON R9 280x

Thanks for the help. Just need to know which is classed as the 'best'

xfx power color and sapphire are the best cards out there...

For the most part ... whatever is on sale.

XFX, Sapphire and PC cards have all been on sale recently around $200 with rebates bringing the cost to $190 and below.

Individual cards have different advantages when compared to others. The cards with a $30 or so price premium over the others are typically voltage unlocked and will OC higher than locked versions.

do not get the xfx one it is massive and gets really hot

Sapphire is quite a nice brand.

Anandtech claims otherwise

XFX has the longest warranty out of most cards that come with either a 1 2 or 3 yr warranty... Sapphire is good as well I own 2 of them POwer color is also good the ones that cost a tad bit more will be the ones with better v ram mem and they will tend to over clock a bit more..
