Cheap powerhouse of a card. Just noticed the price is knocked down to £129 so for a 3GB graphics card it's brilliant on a budget. One thing that may put off is that it's pretty big. Other then that it's a steal. Have one myself I ordered before the price drop. Also if you look at the reviews it's well liked

Good to know that the r9 280 is just a rebranded 7950 which can be found pretty cheap nowadays especially as b stock. Overclockers UK recently had then for around 80GBP as b stock so worth keeping the eye out.

Ohh and also R9 285 for 120GBP here http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/components/amdradeongraphicscards/amdr9285series/11235-03-20g.html#utm_source=tradedoubler&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=1018132_HotUKDeals

Purchased this at the start of the year for £160 approx. It's a great card.

Is there much of a difference from the R9 280X?

I have a R9 270X, and i'm considering an upgrade.

The 280x is a 7970 rebranded there is about a 5 to 10 percent difference.
