Hi, I was wondering if anybody owns or used to own a Sapphire R9 280 Dual-X Cooler card and what kind of stable over-clocks you managed to achieve. Thanks

Hi I just bought a ligit monitor it is a Benq XL2420T. I now run all my games at 1920x1080@120hz now every thing was fine until I started up battle field. When I started playing the monitor started now and then when there was a lot happening stuttering. I told bf4 to run a system check and I told me the frame rate was mostly at 99fps. How can I stop the stuttering. My system is an Amd FX-6300, 16gb adata ram, a asus r9 280, and a MSI 970 Gaming AM3+ AMD 970

i was thinking of creating a setup of 9 (22" monitors @ 1920x1080 res.) in eyefinity mode, using mst hubs with the mini displayports on 2x R9 280's ive tried searching online if this is possible but no-one has asked this directly or they are very vague answers. would eyefinity work with 9 monitors with approximate resolution of 5760x3240? the web says max of 6 monitors but mentions a max resolution of 8192 x 8192? can you run eyefinity using more than 1 gpu (with crossfire or not)? the web says you can use 2 gpu's whilst not using crossfire/eyefinity and use ports on both gpus for your monitors? do all monitors have to be connected to 1 gpu for gaming? the web says you could run many monitors but only those connected to gpu1 would be used when gaming in eyefinity? i know this is a pretty crazy idea and would be very expensive. i am just curious if it is possible and any implications of doing this. if all of this is wrong does anyone know of a way to setup 9 monitorsand get the effect of an eyefinity setup? thank you for any advice you give.

Introduction: I got this card back in September 2014 as a replacement for my R9 280 dual x OC from sapphire (i got that for 200 EURO and three free games, so I actually payed around 150EURO). At that time, I was building a budget pc, I got an i5 2500k and a Z68 board for 170 euro and the R9 280 was the card with the best price/performance ratio in the market (it was around 20 EURO cheaper than a gtx 760 in my area, but it was and still is faster). Ou, well I should say, that I did not pay more than 560 EURO for my pc. Specs: Process technology: 28nm Core clock: 950MHz, Boost clock: 1072MHz Memory Clock: 5000MHz Memory Size: 3072MB Memory Type: GDDR5 Power requirement: 6-pin + 8-pin. I/O: DVI-I, 2x Mini display port, HDMI. Dual BIOS Switch. Photos: The card looks pretty big, bud I didn´t have any problems fitting it into my very (very) small case. It uses a reference PCB (yeah, it is black, not blue!!! But i don´t really care about the PCB color) so no fancy VRM and PCB design. Test rig: CPU: intel core i5 2500K oc @ 4,2GHz. CPU COOLER: cooler master TX3 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA Z68MA D2H-B3 RAM: 2X Kingston 1333MHz 4GB. HDD: western digital caviar blue 1tb 7200rpm PSU: seasonic 600W 80% Bronze Benchmarks. Just a reminder, I have used different clock speed to simulate the reference hd 7950, the reference r9 280. my factory overclocked version and a high overclock (it is not my highest overclock, but it is a good achievable overclock for most people). Unigine Valley (ultra preset, 4x AA) Score. FPS. Tomb Raider (ULTRA + tressfx 1 FXAA): Hitman Absolution (ULTRA + SSAA): Metro Last Light (ULTRA + SSAA): Assassin's creed Unity (ultra preset, high shadows + FXAA): The Witcher 3 (Mostly ULTRA, no Hairworks, Water, shadows and foliage at high, those are the settings, I've used to play the game for more than 147 hours) Cooling: The temperatures never exceed 75° (mostly 72) and the fan never went above 65%. I must say, in comparisson to my previous dual x cooler, the windforce one is not as effective, but it's not as loud. Conclusion: In my opinion, the R9 280 is still a very potent GPU with nice performance, but if i had to buy a new card, I would go with a R9 380 with 4GB of VRAM and overclock it to somewhere around 1100MHz. At that speed, you should get around 15% more performance, at a much lover power consumption. You might have seen, that I used a special overclock for the Unigine valley benchmark (1150 core and 6000 VRAM) and we observed a increase in performance, I would like to go deeper on this topic, because, there had been rumors, that the GCN 1.0 amd 1.1 are very bandwidth dependant (this problem has been solved by the GCN 1.2 and it's data compresion).

Hey guys! My current PC case is the Rosewill FBM-01 and I was looking at the Sapphire Radeon R9 280 to upgrade to. Here's the full info on the card(including pictures): http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-PCI-Express-Graphics-11230-00-20G/dp/B00IZXOW80/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1431478964&sr=8-1&keywords=sapphire+r9+280 The length of the card is ~10 inches and the length of the case is just under 14 inches. Do any of you Rosewill FBM-01 owners know if that card will fit in there with any spare space? If you think it will be too cramped in, feel free to suggest any case replacements you think are right.

Hi all, I have an R9 280 (Non X Version) in my rig right now, and I may be able to get three GTX 680s for $100 USD. Should I buy these? They're all Gigabyte 4 gb models.
-
I've Looked all over the internet and I have not been able to find an answer. Is there a Water block that will work on a Gigabyte windforce r9 280 (non x)? (doesn't have to be full coverage or anything like that) (i'm not talking about the all in one coolers either) Some people say a 7950 water block will work but i'm not sure because gigabyte uses custom PCBs

Hey guys, I'm planning this build soon, and I'm also planning on overclocking the CPU and maybe the GPU. I'm concerned about whether the PSU will have enough power to manage the overclocked build. I originally had a 500W PSU and was told to upgrade to 600W. I was then told to upgrade to a 650W. I don't know what to believe any more. What do you guys think? I'm planning on overclocking the CPU as much as my cooler will allow, and I may overclock the GPU aswell if the stock temps are low enough. Do I have enough power?

I have been looking at the R9 280, R9 280x, R9 285, and GTX 960 cards for awhile and all are around $200 and have around the same performance. Which one should I buy? And also which brand should I buy? -
Hey guys! I was looking into the R9 280, which seems like it's a pretty good price for what it is. I currently have an A10-6800K and I'm a little worried that it will bottleneck the R9 280, since it's more of an entry level APU. So IS the A10-6800K going to bottleneck the R9 280? If so, what processor in the AMD line would be a good replacement?

What one is better? I mean they are only about $20-$40 apart. http://www.microcenter.com/product/438581/Radeon_R9_285_Overclocked_DCII_Cooler_2GB_PCIe_Video_Card http://www.microcenter.com/product/440775/Radeon_R9_280_BOOST_3GB_DDR5_Video_Card What one would you recommend?

My friend wants to start pc gaming and wants a budget thats under 550€. (Prices are a lot higher in holland than US). I showed him this: I3 4160 Sapphire r9 280 3G dualx Asus b85me WD blue 1tb Crucial bx 100 120gb Fractal design core 1100 CM g450m 450 watts Crucial 8gb ballistic sport Total: €549 Is this alright? I told him that brodwell won't really make a difference in gaming than haswell and that after Christmas he can get like an i5 4590 or 4690. Should he go with the r9 280 or wait till the r9 370? Thanks in advance, much appreciated Alberto.

Hello, I am looking into building a new system, and was wondering whether the extra performance was worth the extra cost of getting an R9 290 over an R9 280. Getting the 280 would let me put my build under $1000, and save me over 100 USD. Any input is appreciated.

Here's my setup - Asus Motherboard, F2A85-M LE AMD A10-5800K (APU - Radeon 7660D) 8 GB Corsair Vengeance (CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10) Amacrox Freestyle - 750W PSU (aka FSP) 1TB HDD Cooler Master K380 Windows 8.1 Here's the story.. I initially wanted to get the MSI R7 260X but then a bunch of people online suggested I buy the Gigabyte WindForce edition R9 280 instead, that's just perfect for my budget and bang for the buck. But the thing is, I'm not in the US and my @%#&!ing country's recent change in rules, is somehow denying all payments (regardless of the bank and type of card) to international websites for electronics. If you didn't already guess the PMSing country, it's India. So anyway, I'm willing to spend around Rs. 12,000 - 15,000 (that's around $200..) for my first GPU. And after I saw the GigabyteWF R9 280's specs, I gotta say.. 3GBs GDDR5, 384bit, with those clock speeds at this price?! Freaking Awesome. Now I'm hellbent on getting that GPU, or, since it's not in my country; and my country won't let me - an alternative. I've tried buying from Newegg and Amazon.COM (not amazon.IN - they didn't have it) both sent me an email a while after saying my order was placed, that my payment has been declined. And I get in-touch with the bank and they told me what I've told you. Freaking new rules. But I then checked up Gigabyte's website online and I called up the dealer in my city. The guy said he's stacked up on Nvidia cards (but nvidia for my rig wouldn't be the most optimal fit, would it?) and they've only just began importing cards from the US o' A, so he told me they'd take around about, and I quote, "a quarter of a year to a year, max" . . . . . .. yeeeaaahhahahhahahhahaa :lol: No. <_< I'm not gonna wait a year. Or maybe I'll just have to *sigh* .. I've never bought a GPU before nor am I sure how to judge them, but going by hardware specs, on paper, the Gigabyte R9 280 kicks some serious butt at the pricing. Anyway! I digress... Basically, I want an alternative to the Gigabyte R9 280. And I've scoured the internet, none even come close to this GPU at this price point. I want a card of the similar, high tier chipset, 3GBs of GDDR5, and a 384 bit memory interface. I currently have a single monitor at 1920x1080, but it's just a matter of principle for me- so to say..you know?... I want that extra bandwidth, even though the internet says 256bits for 1080p displays should be fine. I want that extra 1GB for a total of 3GBs.. I've seen Watch_Dogs somewhere mention 3GBs of memory for enabling high textures.. How's the MSI R9 280? XFX Radeon R9 280X? And so I ask, fellow tech lovers, which GPU would be ideal for me at the $200 price!? Shall I wait or something? Is there a better card I've missed?(it seems impossible that I did) I'm gonna be using it for gaming of-course, but I also have a Wacom tablet, so I do some graphic stuff with Photoshop, also some 3D modelling, Cinema4D stuff, etc. Future-proofing, who knows? But I'd like this card to last me a while, say 2, 3 years down the line, I'd even be willing to settle at 1280x720p gaming... Does anyone have any idea? I'd really appreciate it. And gosh I hope the cards you guys suggest are available here @_@

What brand of R9 280x do I go for (overall might just go with cheapest one) what is the quietest or lowest temp best performance brand? (sapphire?)

Hey guys I'm doing soft of a budget build with and AMD-8320e processor and I found a great deal on a GTX 660. This guy can sell me his old EVGA GTX 660 (02G-P4-2662-KR) for $100. I was originally planning on buying a GTX 750 ti for $140. I am also watching some GTX 760s and r9 280x's (Radeon HD 7970) on ebay. They are all around $130-$150. What should I do?
-
I bet this is a really dumb question but if you look on pcpartpicker and go to r9 280s there is two sapphire versions that look exactly a same just a slightly different name and same price tag. Thinking this just might be a mistake on the website's part but I don't know, just want to make sure if i'm getting the right one sense I'm getting a sapphire r9 280. http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/video-card/#c=167&sort=a8

Sorry if this is a really stupid question. My new R9 280 has two 6 pin sockets on it but my semi-modular powersupply only has one 6 pin socket pre-installed. Do i need to plug the other 6 pin socket into the powersupply? Thanks
