what is the best value graphics card for $400 in australia?

[sayfway]

been leaning towards the SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X R9 280X 3GB but would like to hear other peoples suggestions and opinions

dual 280X s is much more powerful then a 290X, there is a huge difference.

ive been hearing this and the complete opposite to this!

So you think a R9 290X is better then a R9 280X Crossfire setup, I used to have a 7990, that was better but i didn't like the fact that not all games supported crossfire.

I'd get a GTX 770

280x out preforms 770 and its cheaper? hahah

actually, a GTX 770 is faster than a 280x, its not much, but probably justifies the price.

that exact model of GPU is prone to the black screen issue, which is not by any meaning ignorable.

I live in Australia and this would be my choice;

Though it runs hot, though it's the stock cooled model, what a card for $429. Best if you can later on, get a custom cooler.
