R9 280 vs R9 280x

Hey everyone,

I'm having a hard time deciding which one I should take, the R9 280 or the R9 280x.

The 280x is more expensive (~30 euros), but the performance doesn't reflect that.

What I was wondering about, will a 280 get close to the performance of a 280 when overclocked?

 

thank you

Yes But an overclocked 280x will be beyond the reach of any 280.

in order to push a 280 to its limits, you would have to modify the bios. the 280x on the other hand is much better suited out of the box to be pushed. with the exception of 280's that use a 280x pcb, a 280x is going to have a better power delivery system.

 

The extra money is worth it for the 280x.

R9 3900XT | Tomahawk B550 | Ventus OC RTX 3090 | Photon 1050W | 32GB DDR4 | TUF GT501 Case | Vizio 4K 50'' HDR
