Hi all

Well gonna say short im Buying R9 280x reasons (best price performance ratio high end gpu oced sapphire toxic matches gtx780 stock while 2xtimes cheaper) need help on picking up one of them:

1. Sapphire toxic edition- stock faster, overclocks more, runs more silent and lower temps has backplate and loks great warranty 2years price 1045ltl/417.42$

2. Msi Gaming- cheaper good looking, longer warranty 3years, lower price 915ltl/365.49$

 

price difference 130Ltl/51.93$(USD) What u guys think i trust sapphire warranty support since they gave me my money back for just a broken fan (it was 6950 dirt edition). 

 

plz dont offer me asus or gigabyte products or any other product unles its cheap but has great cooling option and look good ... Windforce look cheap for me blue pcb not for my rig.... asus just priced more because of brand name atm in my country so no dcu2 or matrix wile matrix cost 1554ltl 50% more is just stupid....

MSi looks better, but the Sapphire may have better cooling performance. Though for the $50 difference just get the MSI IMO.

u knew MSI has no backplate and incase (arc midi r2) sapphire looks way more pleasing for me + it matches my mobo colors (and thing is im concerned of more raw performance) but that price difference makes it so hard to decide for me

They have amazing cooling and they are great for blue themed builds

well ;) i understand u have blue theme build i have black and white :P and as for cooling toxic ediotion has 10 degrees lower temp at stock clocks witch are already bigger then gigabyte ;) gigabyte is good card but far from both of solutions since its not that much bether then MSI witch is cheaper and not as good as sapphire ;) but there was few friends i bought 7970 windforce because it was best atm

1 more thing if i buy sapphire i would probably gonna need to buy new 700w psu another 120$ since now im having 3years old 500W or down clock the gpu in that case i would have ability too oc in future since what i seen with beastly oc on 280x max it drained from system was 448w so counting in cpu 120-150w a bit oced and sh1t load of fans im using 700w would be just fine bur then actually im spending around 170$ more i will get some money like 30-40$back after selling my psu but still i want to have beast but im not sure if i really need it since atm i play on 1080p and thinking about new 1440p 27-32" monitor i might be stuck with msi on 1080p ....
