Factory tuning cards based on the R9-280X core are hosted

In our short news, we present to you the factory tuning innovations currently on the market, which are based on the AMD R9-280X GPU core.

Building on the new core recently introduced (thankfully), all manufacturers have left the reference design. It’s not like it’s ugly, but its cooling capacity and the noise it emits doesn’t exactly make it the tip of our hearts.

And now let's look at what's new. In alphabetical order with pictures and then at the end with a summary table that contains all the important data about the cards. (MHz, cooling capacity)

ASUS R9 280X DirecktCU OC

Club3D R9 280X royalKing OC

Gigabyte R9 280X Windforce 3X OC

HIS R9 280X iPower IceQ X2

MSI R9 280X Gaming OC

Sapphire R9 280X Toxic OC

Sapphire 9 280X VaporX OC

This way everyone can look through the current offer, everyone can decide which card is the most beautiful. However, in addition to what a card looks like, it can be important how efficient the cooler on it is. Especially since these are factory tuned cards. The following small table summarizes GPU-Memory speeds as well as idle and loaded temperature data. The reference GPU clock was 850 MHz and the memory was 1500 MHz.

After that, everyone can decide which card is the tip of their heart for what to save, because then every card is open for around $ 320 or more.
