I bought a gigabyte windforce R9 280x and I have not installed it in my PC yet. I play world of Warcraft and I have seen things online about the 280x artifacting in wow but I also see that this issue is mainly targeted at the Asus card or that it's a driver issue. Now I'm worried if there is a problem... Does anyone know if the gigabyte version will do that or if the issue is fixed? Because I don't want these problems at all!!!

Asus/Gigabye/Sapphire, the only thing they control is the PCB and firmware. All the chips are the same. If someone is artifacting, then they simply pushed their overclock too far. The R9 280X is a great card and unless you bought a broken one, you'll be very happy with it.
