Comment:
I'm one of the lucky ones I guess, I got this card for 329.99 plus free shipping when it first came out, and dollar for dollar you can't do better at that price. It was a little more expensive than some other R9 280X's at the time, but it is factory overclocked to 1070MHZ and the build quality is excellent. I would recommend to anybody to pay the extra 20 bucks or so to get this card over the cheaper ones, especially the XFX, which is crap. This thing runs BF4 on Ultra no problems, Skyrim it doesn't break a sweat with EVERYTHING Maxed out, Far Cry 3 same deal. I've yet to find a game where I had to turn any settings down actually.If you're gaming in 1920x1080, this card is perfect. Just turn everything to max and go. And I doubt 1920x1200 would slow this card down much either.

ASUS Radeon R9 280X OC 1070MHZ 3GB 6.4GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Video Card

Pros:solid card, very low temp, good performance.
Comment:
I bought this card for bf4 and it totally kicks ass and doesn't blink at all, i also got the gigabyte r9 280x card for my brother which is on sale now, it turned out they are totally different cards, i mean if you compare the two Asus would totally win in every aspect. i totally recommend the Asus over any brand. because it is more modified ,and it's build quality is much much much better than its competitors.get one card for now and if there are any games in future that require more juice, just crossfire another card. by that time these cards should be cheaper and faster.THIS IS HANDS UP THE BEST VALUE CARD ON THE MARKET NOW, 7990 $700 not worh it, GTX 770 sc $340 not worth it, 7970 $280 not worth it. because these cards don't have the technology nor the value this card packs, i highly recommend this card and this card only, not MSI nor gigabyte nor anything else.really really happy with my purchase. i overclocked it to 1216 MHz and it ran stable, only when i oc the memory at that speed i get game crashes. temp wise, this card runs so cool even under the heaviest duty i get 55c lol.

I have only had this card for 5 days, but I can already say this card is fantastic, well worth every penny.....It is a very quiet card and it stays pretty cool and it can run pretty much any game I can throw at it on max setting...I would suggest this card to a friend.

Cons:None so far...

Pros:Price and Performance is amazing
Comment:
JUST put in my system 15 min ago so pretty early to give a solid recommendation BUT went from Battlefield 4 being unplayable at High to Screaming fast on ULTRA settings. A win in my book :)Upgraded from Radeon HD 6870
