So im getting the r9 280x

[Wyattttt]

Okay, so as the title says. Im getting the r9 280x, for bf4 and hopefully much more games

But the question is which one do I get? Ive narrowed it down to 2 choices.

Gigabyte ^

Or MSI v

Then there is the ASUS One and Saphire, which doesnt list a base clock. Which also confuses me tbh. So if someone could explain some things to me would be greatly appreciated

They're both equally the same(the Gigabyte and MSI one) but the Gigabyte has the edge because of its 3x fans not to mention its ten bucks cheaper. Both cards are a great choice and you won't be disappointed with either diecision

I'd prefer the Gigabyte R9 280x as it's cheaper, better cooling and a a bit higher boost memory clock.

Not to mention taking a better look at this card is convincing me to get this over the MSI N760 Hawk

I'd choose in this order: 1st..MSI then Asus then Sapphire then Gigabyte.

MSI makes very fast GPUs and they always are one of the quietest and coolest.

Reviews don't lie.

True they make some very fast cards plus they OC well but Gigabyte only has the advantage on cooling and the price. So it's up to you Wyat;
MSI = High clocks & Great OCing
Gigabye = Great cooling & Cheaper Price

The price is $10 more, but MSI is the better card. 2 fans is best. 3 fans makes for a noisier system. Check out prior Gigabyte reviews.
Also, the MSI cools better than Gigabyte.

MSI: high clock, great cooling, quiet, and reliable.
Gigabyte: decent speeds, ok cooling, and alright.
