The Best R9 280x?

[CondemnedShadow]

Hey guys,

So I've been looking into getting a 280x for my system. The problem is that i can't figure out which one is the best choice to get. I cannot fit any card in my case that is over about 270mm.

Thanks for the help 😀

I think the R9 280x by Sapphire has a great core clock and decent cooling.

So the Sapphire cards are something to look at correct? What about the Asus model of the 280x?

The ASUS model is probably the best but it won't fit your 270mm limitation. It is too long.
