Neither. ASUS R9-280X DCUII V2. Triple stack cooler, cool, quiet, epic, backplate. No downsides  :)

If you'll be using for gaming only, then 280x all the way.

 

Me personally would get sapphire vapor x, since it looks cool and cheaper in SEA region.

might go with R9280X-DC2T-3GD5. i find the v2 too big..

OK, but beware it sags a little.

the vapor x here in the Philippines costs around P15000 or $350. i really dont like the blue pcb although its mostly covered by the backplate and it doesnt match with my mobo (z87x- ud4h)

I agree, the dual-slot Asus 280X is just as cool and as quiet but the fact that it's thinner means you can much more easily add a second card for Crossfire.

The Asus 280X DCUII is the best all round choice in my opinion, it's the quietest, one of the coolest & overclocks very well.

It's also voltage unlocked, unlike the XFX models.

My build : Glamor Shot.  Intel & AMD, Architectural Discussion.
