So after consideration among the 270, 280x & 290.
I've chosen the 280x, since the 290 doesn't make much of a difference for its higher pricing.
And among the different manufacturers (e.g MSI, ASUS etc.) which one are the more reliable/better ones?


For sapphire, there are different versions of them.
E.g Vapour X, Tri X, Dual X, Vapour X Tri x, Toxic

So among them these different types, which one will be the better one in my case?
After comparing I still can't really decide which one to chose from.. (Still new to these things)
Anyone have the cards and able to provide some insights on them or from knowledge knows which one will more worth the buck?


Do let me know what info is needed still and i will gladly add in.
Thanks in advance~

actually those card by sapphire are the same chip only the cooler design and clock speed different. Toxic>Tri>Dual>vapour if i remember correctly. But for the toxic version is quite ex, might as well buy just buy a cheaper version and use the money save to invest on other stuffs like PSU if you need one. But do note that the sapphire warranty only 2 years compared to other brands having 3 years. If i were you i would either take the MSI 280x or the powercolor's. Btw the difference between a 280x and 290 in terms of 1080p gaming is not that great, but when you play it on 1440p, will be a different story liao.

Ohkay, noted will check it out regarding the warranty.
Don't think getting toxic since not much difference.
More input welcome!
Thanks~
