Go to solution Solved by nhatduy1611,

Alll of them are good although the gygabyte one has the highest core clock out of the box. I would get a 280x though since it's more powerful and has more vram.https://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-video-card-r9280xtdfd

Good for you, but don't make judgments for 1080p when the resolution you use has less than half the pixels of 1080.

 

 

1200p=1920x1200 smartass

1080p is 16:9 (1920x1080)

1200p is 16:10 (1920x1200)

Please know your facts before posting.

The MSI card is the cheapest of the bunch.

 

EVGA has a great customer service (as far as I've heard).

 

Gigabyte has the highest out of box clock speed.

 

IMO, I'd go with the MSI and OC it in afterburner, an extra $6 for a +0.04 or $11 for -0.05 clock speed isn't worth it ,even if I could OC it later. 

Signature unda construction... in the meantime. Tell me more about yourself. I'm sure you've got an interesting story.

i actually run games really well, bf4 on ultra, gta v on very high-ultra 60 fps, all 1200p

I'm actually now looking at the R9 280x. I am looking at this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150678&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID= .

Pentium G3258, R9 280X, Corsair CS600M, Gigabyte GA-H81M-H, 2 Random monitors, a no-name keyboard, a cheap $15 Logitech mouse.

alright :D

 

Easy does it. I assumed you meant 1200 by XXX, because the 260X cannot get 60 FPS on Ultra at 1080 or 1200

CPU: G3258 @ 4GHz GPU: Gigabyte GTX 960 OC RAM: 8GB G.Skill DDR3 1600 SSD: Corsair LS 120GB Case: Antec GX500 Mouse: Logitech G402 Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Headphones: Shure SRH440 Microphone: That Zalman Zm-Mic1 that everyone recommends but noone uses

Remember when the R9 280 was the HD 7950? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

1280 by 720 is close... So I can see where you were thinking that. *Thumbs up*

Good card for the $$.  Do make sure you upgrade your PSU to one with a 6 pin connector, maybe a 500W could be up your alley. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139050&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

Seasonic is a kickass brand, I recommend it.

Cheaper options exist, but only after MIRs, which don't get positive reception. And it doesn't help I'm on mobile too, so my shopping research is hindered.

If you have no other PSU in mind, this is a good choice.
