R9 280X, Sapphire or Gigabyte?

[Givemema]

I don't know which one of them should I get.

GIGABYTE Radeon R9 280X Windforce X3 3GB
Sapphire Radeon R9 280X VAPOR-X OC 3GB GDDR5

The Sapphire is just 10$ more expensive than the Gigabyte.
Is it worth the 10$?
Whats the difference between them anyways?
Which one will OC better?
Any information that I should know would be welcomed...

I'm running on a 700Watt PSU so I don't expect any problems there.

Thanks.

yes gigabyte's cooler is really efficient temp. never goes up 80 degrees and a good customer service.It is really isnt worth to pay 10$ extra for the sapphire model.Gigabyte one is cool and have high clock speed and you can squeeze a little bit performance too by clocking it a little higher and thats not a problem since it is wiindforce cooler.I was amazed that nobody answered you.

If you are wanting pure power go with the Sapphire Toxic. If you are wanting better cooling go with the gigabyte. If you are wanting a really cold card and CPU you are going to have to go the Liquid Cooled route, which I highly recommend.
