R9 280x is a better performer. Equivalent to a gtx770 slightly better in certain games.

And no it does not run hot if you go for a good brand cooler type. Be it MSI or gigabyte. But now OOS at SLS. Wait till over the weekends see how.

Seems like the best quiet fan is the Asus. But it's pricing here is not very convincing. Giga is around 450~

Nvidia GeForce mid-tier cards, get from Amazon, particularly international warranty cards like EVGA.

I read R9 280X consumes 80 Watts more than GTX 760?

In terms of performance consistency, GTX 760 or R9 280X is better?

R9 280x. Faster. Better performer than gtx760

Drivers wise I would say gtx760. Must wait for amd for new drivers as now their drivers are beta.

I know R9 280X is better in terms of performance. I am referring to performance CONSISTENCY.

R9 280x is similiar price. Totally different tier. Comparable to GTX770 , even at it's worst it should perform better then the GTX760 right? =:p

Read on blue forum , they dont understand why sap gives only 2 years when their products are not bad at all.. Haha
