This is a very powerful card for the price. Upgraded from a 6950 and got a decent performance boost. Can now play BF4 at all ultra settings with vsync on at 60 fps, very satisfied with the performance. The card runs reasonably cool too, but the cooler is a little loud (my 6950 had a very similar looking dual fan cooler that was quieter).
hardware-wise this card is great, but there are some issues with the drivers atm. These issues I've run into are:
1. random "flickering" during 2d tasks like browsing in firefox. Google shows that this is a known issue that the AMD driver team is working on.
2. When I boot windows 8.1, I get my bios splash as expected, but then the screen goes black and doesn't come back. Windows actually boots fine however, because when I turn my monitors power off and then on it then starts working and I am greeted by the login screen. it does this every time I boot and its quite annoying... Hopefully a driver update can fix this too. When I installed the card I did make sure to completely uninstall the AMD drivers before removing my old amd card, rebooting, then shutting down the pc, install the new card, and install the latest 13.11 beta 9.2 drivers for the card. I don't think its an issue with the card itself, because the issue only occurs during boot up, and after power-cycling the monitor after boot up it functions 100% correctly until the next reboot.
EDIT: I worked around this issue by hooking up my monitor via HDMI instead of DVI, for some reason it worked fine that way, and I get windows boot screen and login screen without having to power-cycle monitor. really weird issue...Read more ›

I ordered this product via third party USED saler. NOT via amazon. When this package was lost in transit I contacted the buyer, which quickly was sorted out and he first gave me an incorrect shipping number, then when the product was recieved in a brown paper bag, the boxes corners were pushed it but I looked past it. I opened the box to a beautiful 280x, to notice the dpi port was bent at an 85 degree and inward. With a little pliers I carefully bent it back to fit the case. Then installing drivers, open up the cd, bam spiderwebbed like someone hit it with a hammer. AFTER all is done, recieved responses to my emails asking for product pictures come to find out I wouldn't get a response. All in all the product works, I was looking for some sort of compensation because I wasn't looking to RMA the product after the legnthy shipping. Just buyer beware of the "certified" used salers

I bought through a third party retailer, WeShipDaily.
The first card I ordered came with a cooler fan knocked out of it, and didn't work due to overheating. The replacement, which I'm using now, seems to have some vRAM issues as I get a lot of artifacting at Ultra resolutions in Watch Dogs, and even some artifacting/screen tearing in the original Bioshock, even with VSync on.
Great price, but the cards may end up damaged during shipping due to terrible packaging. The cards came in an express box in a static bag, using rolled up card stock flyers for padding.

The R9 280X replaced an old Radeon 5670. In everyday computing it runs cooler than the card it replaced while being able to run games at 1920x1200 at their highest settings at solid frame rates.
The card is quite long, make sure your computer has room. Sapphire recommends a 750W power supply, but I've had no trouble with my 600W. Insure you have three free molex for the two conversion cables, or a 6-pin AND 8-pin PCIE available for power. Also insure your case is well-cooled so that the card's heat while running at the max can be moved outside the case.

Just bought it. I had no idea what the original price was. (400$, Freshly stocked on newegg today.) I was surprised to see all of these go out of stock at 299$. No wonder! What a shock.
I'm upgrading from a HD 6850 so this will be a HUGE improvement. Hoping it's great and the AMD drivers don't screw me over like they did with the 6850. (Artifacts / BSODs)
Curious - Does this still come with the Battlefield 4 voucher? I'm guessing it depends on the retailer. I'll be a bit disappointed if I don't receive it, but hey, it's ok.

Pros: Outstanding bang for your buck. Plays all the games I throw at it at Ultra quality, fast as greased lightning. (Including Battlefield 4). Card runs quiet, strong, I simply love it.
Cons: It is a big beast, it fit in my mid tower case - Antec 900, though I had to wiggle my power supply cables a bit. To be fair, they are thick, shielded cables running from a Corsair 850w power supply. Bottom line, it fit - and there are even longer cards, but just be sure to make room in your case. It's worth it.
