As you'd expect, the ASUS R9 280X DirectCU II TOP 3GB video card carries with it a price premium. What you probably don't expect is for that premium to be only $10 over the standard $299.99 price tag. Hitting at $309.99, it really does hit at a slightly ...
Quite silent, Factory overclocked, 2 x 100mm fans, ASUS GPU tweak
No VGA adapter, No BIOS switch
This card is way better a stock HD 7970, even the special edition cards that most manufacturers come up with which feature a modest base clock boost don't stand a chance next to the R9280X-DC2T-2GD5 performance wise. As far as the pricing goes, this card ...
