XFX or MSI

[Austin4606]

Found some cheap used in perfect condition and in my local area.

 

Can afford both. XFX or MSI R9 280X?

MSI is more reliable if you are comparing the two AMD cards

[Octavialicious]

I'd say MSI

[shadowblitz3]

[Recon97]

Msi. Just trusting my instincts.

I would pick MSI.

Guess i'm going with MSI. The slick look of the XFX is epic. Too bad the MSI doesn't look as good.

Depends on the model of the xfx card. If it's a dd edition, go with the xfx because if the lifetime warranty.

Get the XFX card then. They aren't as bad as people say. (I have one)

Rather have better performance  than looks honestly. If it's overall a better brand then i'd rather go with the MSI.

You are just paying for better support, the chances of you having a DOA card are slim as hell.

I don't know why but I don't trust XFX.

I didn't even know XFX produced GPUs...LOL. Go with MSI man.

MSI loves to break rules in regards to their video cards so pass on them if you can.  Also there are many other brands to choose from out there and not just XFX and MSI.

[Kevin_Walter]

As someone with an XFX card... MSI.

[jessicametal]

MSI makes solid parts, though XFX does have that lifetime warranty. Tempting choices for both, but for different reasons.

XFX is AMD exclusive board partner just like EVGA is on nVidia´s side...

 

OP my personal experience is that XFX cards aren´t bad (had one myself) but MSI has definitely the better customer service, and that would sell me all day long to MSI.
