They say patience is a virtue, but the xfx wouldn't be a bad card. Any performance difference between the cards will be negligible. If you absolutely can't wait then go ahead and buy the XFX, otherwise just be patient.

Have you tried browsing around different sites to see if you could find the Sapphire anywhere else online?

The MSI R9 280x looks just as good, if not better in my opinion.

That xfx card would easily be as good.

I had a XFX 7850 DD 2GB and it was a solid card for its time. You can't go wrong with any of them really but if it comes down to looks then you can wait but stock may not be available due to the age of the card.

Guys, now i am watching and there arent stock if the xfx, i want to die, i think i gonna buy the gtx 960, or its so bad in comparation

 

[MrBlonde1]

Aw, I know how that can be. Well the gtx 960 is a good card, not as fast as the 280x and doesn't have as big a Memory Bus 128-bit instead of 384 but it's still a strong 1080p card.

Dude...just be patient, later on when you are stuck with a lesser card you are gonna kick yourself for it.
