It's a 280... Not too much of a great deal.

Wait, what? I wasn't aware of the r9 280 non X. Is it pretty much a 7950?

It is basically a radeon hd 7950 boost edition, so yeah.

Well, compared to AMD's other cards, it's cheap

Considering not more than two months ago they went for 400$ used, it's not bad at all. 

4 months ago they were 200$ though. 

 

Happy I got out early enough, there are a FLOOD of cheap used AMD cards on eBay now.

280x's. Not 280's.

280x's. Not 280's. 

No those prices were quoted for 7950, or the 280 equivalence. 

 

Right now 280x's used are going for 260~315$ though

mining gouging appears to be stopping

280x's. Not 280's. 

Considering a 280 is pretty much a 7950, I've seen 7950 go for as much as $400.

Plus, you could probably flash the bios of it to a 280x

thats expensive. there were 200$ 7950s back before minerush.. and 760 is still better better for 240$ than 7950(280) for 270$
