hi everyone, is the Sapphire Dual-X R9 280 3GB OC still good at 1080p with ultra and high settings to use in today's modern games?

because i'm about to buy a Sapphire Dual-X R9 280 3GB OC but I noticed it had a lot of bad ratings.

so, is a good card or bad card?

thanks for your time and attention to my question\any help and advice is appreciated.



any help and advice is appreciated.

At what FPS do you want to play at?

I run a Sapphire R9 280x Tri-x and can run B4 at mostly ultra settings (I turn off Anti-Aliasing as it has too much of a negative impact on FPS for what is gives you in smooth lines.)

The AMD R9 280 cards are all ok, but remember you are really buying a last generation card, which are just a minor bump in clock speeds from the original 7950 and 7970 cards brought out by AMD. If I were you, I'd save some more money and look at either the Nvidia GTX960 or AMD R9 380 or 380x cards.
