We've recently seen a number of cards with the Gigabyte WindForce cooler, and we liked all of them. The Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X OC uses an old cooler, however, likely because the card is based on the design Gigabyte used for the Radeon HD 7970. The prob...
Very fast mid/high-range card, Very quiet, Factory overclocked, Excellent temperature control
Based on 'old' tech, Blue PCB
The GIGABYTE R9 280X is a great card of that there can be no argument. It coped with almost everything we threw at it with relative ease. Heavily based on yesterdays technology you could be forgiven for dismissing this product however, while ageing, t...
Abstract: Perhaps fortunately, AMD's reference Radeon R9 280X is a bit of a phantom outside our own labs. If you're shopping for one of these Tahiti-based boards, you're looking at third-party solutions. We round up seven models and show what makes them different. ...

Although all five custom Radeon R9 280X cards are much the same in gaming and cooling performance, they still have subtle variations that make some better than others -- and one better than the rest in our opinion.Considering it's a mid-range to high-en...

Giving an opinion on this card today is more difficult than usual due to some very unusual circumstances. The R9 280X was intended to slot in at $299 with partner boards retailing for ~$330. This would position it right in between the GTX 760 and 770. H...
Factory overclock, WindForce 3X cooling, Great performance, Price compared to other cards, OC GURU II Utility included
Pretty boring design
So is this card better than a reference Radeon R9 280X, yet and here is why. First you have a factory overclock. Normally an R9 280X runs at 850 MHz core with a GPU boost all the way up to 1000 MHz. This card on the other hard runs at 1000 MHz core with ...
First let us start with the slowest performer at 2560x1600, the GeForce GTX 760. It can be purchased between $234 and $289 for custom cooled and overclocked versions. They can provide decent 1080p performance in today's games, but fall short at higher res...
