Out of those, 280x. I'd get the Sapphire one.

[kameshss]

R9 280x!

[Bob Jim]

R9 280X would be best, but they run HOT AND I MEAN HOT. I would personally go with the R9 380 from MSI, still better than the GTX 960, while not being so hot.

Wrong. I have the 280x crossfired and they don't go over 75° under full load.

280x vapor-x

The Vapor-X never goes above 70*C with the benchmarks I saw.

 

y u hate n amd boi?

I'd get the Sapphire 280x, and @Bob Jim I have a 280x and I've never had to worry about temps, it generally never goes past 75C, so that's bs. It's the 290 that runs hot buddy.

[RyuuXiao]

So its  r9 380 or 280x  :huh:

No. Don't listen to him. The 280x is the better choice.

AMD GPU's get more FPS than Nvidia GPU's? That couldnt be farther from the truth, it depends on which GPU

Pretty sure he means the cards he's looking at compared to the 960.

The Vapor X is like the highest model cooler, according to reviews I have seen it thermal throttles...

[Demm]

Go for the 280X, it performs better than the GTX 960. I would consider 960 4GB version, depending on what headlines you are going to play, since there are a lot of Nvidia optimized games.. if not... definitely go for the 280X.

i am playing online games.(mmorpgs/mobas/fps).280x is looking best but i think i will buy R9 380 or gtx 960 because of Dx12 support.

Hmm? Why not the 280x? It also has DX12 support like all GCN cards...

No, I meant I have seen reviews of another R9 280X that thermal throttled... It may have been the reference model though

Heh, so many cards throttle with a reference cooler.
