280x vs 380?
Go to solution
Solved by Guest,
280x is a rebadged 7970 ghz edition, thats not a bad thing, the 7970 was a great card but its ancient now.
The 280x is more powerful than the 380 in raw performance but that tahiti gpu is really old now.
The 380 has a much newer gpu which brings much newer features and compatibility so thats the big plus there.
If you go the 380 route make sure to get a 4gb model though, 2gb isnt enough anymore, even at 1080p.
The 3gb of the 280x is still a good amount, so it should get you by for the vast majority of games, I would stick with sapphire for both cards as they generally make the best as far as AMD goes in my considerable experience.
