Gigabyte R9 280x graphics card help!

[jgamer06]

Hello,
I'm building a new rig and was looking to include the gigabyte R9 280x card in it.
Although I have been reading great things on review websites, I have been reading a large number of BAD customer reviews about this cards quality, temperatures and noise...

What do you think about this card? Is it worth buying or are they intact a poorly built card?

Please only give educated answers based on your knowledge/experience with THIS card

Customer reviews are to be taken with a grain of salt because over 90% of happy customers will not post reviews but over 90% of unhappy ones will. It is one of the better cards and many of the professional reviews will go over build quality.

ok i have the same exact card the windforce version comes with clock speed of 1000mhz for gpu and 1375mhz for ram and im gonna say this once it is a defective product even with a gigabyte board it crashes randomly especially when playing call od duty advanced warfare and i realised there isn't much solutions to this problem online...i fortunately have solved my problem and want to share it...what you have to do is use OC guru 2 by gigabyte and down clock the voltage to 1.11v from 1.17v that's how i got mine to stop crashing hope it works for you
