Pros: I would like to make this a price-to-performance review. The GTX 770 2gb GPU is around $400. To do a fair comparison, we need to compare the GTX 770 4gb version, which is around $440. I owned a GTX 770 4gb card and here are the differences between both, favoring AMD. Which gaming, my GTX 770 would reach temperatures over 70 degrees Celsius if the fans were on auto. I would have to turn the fans up to 75% to keep a stable 66 degrees Celsius. However, the 280x is able to hold 65 degrees Celsius on auto fan speed at 35%. Pretty impressive. This card is so quiet. I am not even kidding. I literally don't know if the thing is on half of the time while on FULL LOAD. It is truly unbelievable. Back to price; this card is $310. I am getting equal frame rates as did I with my EVGA GTX 770 Superclocked 4gb card. That card is $130 more expensive. I don't know what to say. I am truly impressed. Great warranty, runs cool, runs QUIET, and is $130 cheaper. This is the best R9 280x out there. There is a reason to why it is always sold out! Lastly, the Sapphire Toxic is suppose to be the fastest R9 280x on the market. Remember, that card is $40-$50 more expensive and sucks up much more power. You can always overclock this card to match close to its performance. Save your pennies and get this card.

Cons: It was out of stock when I wanted it!
