Reddit mentions of XFX Double D R9 280 933MHz 3GB DDR5 2XmDP HDMI 2XDVI Graphics Card R9280ATDFD

So this 270x or this 280. Both are in my price range but its for a budget build. is the performance noticeably different? or is there anything better for the buck?

Edit: Not sure why my question got down voted... Thanks

This one?

are we talking about this card? http://www.amazon.de/XFX-R9-280A-TDFD-Grafikkarte-Speicher-mini-DisplayPort/dp/B00J44WVYG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1451759490&sr=8-1&keywords=radeon+280

edit: cause I'm using this: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0135Y935K?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00

edit2: and I'm reallllly confused about how a much more recent model of a grafics card can have a less powerful GPU ...

the r9 280 can hover around there. Might be able to do better though.

can't speak to this particular version of the 280's quality, but that seems like something to look at.

The R9 280 is the best, followed by the 270x, then the 270. The performance difference between the 280 and the 270x is pretty big compared to the difference between the 270x and 270.

If you;re going to be overclocking, I recommend this. If not, then this. The XFX one has a lifetime warranty, so that's pretty awesome and worth $18.70.

If you pick the Gigabyte one, make sure your case has enough room to fit it. With either one, make sure your PSU has enough wattage. The AMD cards tend to be a bit more power consuming than their NVIDIA equivalents.

R9 280?

Seems like a good GPU under $200

It'll be a bit more expensive since you won't get certain Newegg discounts, but you can still find the cards for cheap on amazon

Appreciate the tip - I've been out of this for a while!
Edit: Is this the one? http://www.amazon.co.uk/XFX-Radeon-Edition-Graphics-GDDR5/dp/B00J44WVYG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1414176303&sr=8-2&keywords=R9+280+gpu

show me. fyi; I'm trying to avoid including rebates in the price, and I prefer buying from Amazon. Closest thing I'm seeing is [this] (http://www.amazon.com/XFX-Double-933MHz-Graphics-R9280ATDFD/dp/B00J44WVYG/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1416459374&sr=1-2&keywords=r9+280) for $200 before rebate or [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-Radeon-PCI-Express-Graphics-11230-00-20G/dp/B00IZXOW80/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1416459374&sr=1-3&keywords=r9+280) for $195, and I'm a little hesitant with those 2 brands.

so something like this then ?
