R9 280 vs GTX 680?

[arvark]

So, I can get a new R9 280 for 175€.

But I can also get a used 680 for that price.

 

So, 2GB of vRam are a bit limiting, for 1080p60 shouldn't the 280 be better for the extra GB?

680 will be faster.

They are pretty similar performance wise get the 280 for more VRAM.

[HmmR]

r9 280 is better sweet spot for gaming

 

the next sweet spot is 970

They are very similar in performance. The 680 however is a bit faster (5%-10%). I would take the 280 however because of the extra gb of vram.

From what i remember, 680 is faster. If you have a dual monitor setup go for the 280 for the extra VRAM 

[NeatSquidYT]

The 680 is faster, but the 280 has more VRAM, so I'd go 280

Perfect, I'm going to take the R9 280. Thanks a lot (Very much) to every one, I mean, after ONE minute I got the first answer... I didn't expect this. Thank you very much.

Go for it!

Perfect. By the way, I read that that Thermaltake Berlin 630w (The PSU I'm going to take) is will be fine with two 280, would you suggest me to add a second in the future?

You would get much more performance (2 280s perform similar to 1 970/290x) however I always recommend getting a more powerful single gpu over two weaker cards.

Always prefer a single beastly GPU over SLI or Crossfire because they create issues and single GPU doesn't Yes it should be enough on stock settings as long as your PSU is 80+ bronze atleast. The output wattage of Berlin 630w must be around 700-750W, I think! you'll have to check it out

 The fact is, re-selling the GPU will be hard.

Sapphire Dual-X

Not the best cooler but will do it's job.

I wouldn't recommend it because many games don't have profile ready on game release especially Gamewreck/TWIMTBP titles, that mean you'll stuck with single card performance.

I suggest get a 290 for better future support.

Mmh... I'll probably wait 'till it doesn't satisfy  and then I'm going to buy a 300€ GPU (something like a GTX 1070 or the amd counterpart)
