Today we're taking a closer look at Gigabyte's R9 280X graphics card, the Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X OC or GV-R928XOC-3GD. We compared it to five other Radeon R9 280X video cards we tested previously. If you want to read about how the Radeon R9 280X compa...

We've recently seen a number of cards with the Gigabyte WindForce cooler, and we liked all of them. The Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X OC uses an old cooler, however, likely because the card is based on the design Gigabyte used for the Radeon HD 7970. The prob...

The GIGABYTE R9 280X is a great card of that there can be no argument. It coped with almost everything we threw at it with relative ease. Heavily based on yesterdays technology you could be forgiven for dismissing this product however, while ageing, t...

Perhaps fortunately, AMD's reference Radeon R9 280X is a bit of a phantom outside our own labs. If you're shopping for one of these Tahiti-based boards, you're looking at third-party solutions. We round up seven models and show what makes them different...

The Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X Windforce 3X OC is the first Radeon R9 series card from Gigabyte to reach our test lab. Right out of the box, the card sports an overclocked AMD Radeon R9 280X GPU that is rated at 1050MHz - or at least that was how it debuted...

We had expected the Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X Windforce 3X OC card to have shown a stronger performance due to its overclocked graphics core out of the box. In terms of raw clock speed, it was on par with the premier ASUS ROG R9 280X Platinum; however, the...

One of my particular favorites involved the home of a factory sponsored rider of Indian motorcycles. While Harley Davidson has been the big name for as long as anyone can remember, it has always been Indian that has held my interest. Maybe it was the worl...

Giving an opinion on this card today is more difficult than usual due to some very unusual circumstances. The R9 280X was intended to slot in at $299 with partner boards retailing for ~$330. This would position it right in between the GTX 760 and 770. H...

One of the best things when a new graphics card is released is waiting for custom versions of the card to come out. Many of these cards offer factory overclocks and custom cooling solutions. Not only will this give you better performance, but also quieter...

Pretty boring design...

So is this card better than a reference Radeon R9 280X, yet and here is why. First you have a factory overclock. Normally an R9 280X runs at 850 MHz core with a GPU boost all the way up to 1000 MHz. This card on the other hard runs at 1000 MHz core with...

First let us start with the slowest performer at 2560x1600, the GeForce GTX 760. It can be purchased between $234 and $289 for custom cooled and overclocked versions. They can provide decent 1080p performance in today's games, but fall short at higher res...

Gigabyte was among the first AIB partners to hit the market with a non-reference and factory overclocked Radeon R9 280X card. It uses a custom PCB and the company's well known WindForce cooler with three fans. We already had a chance to see the WindForce...

When it was introduced the HD 7970 GHz Edition was a high end card and people were willing to dish out €500 to get their hands on one. However, nearly two years after the first HD 7970 cards hit the market, even the GHz Edition is looking like another mid...

Although all five custom Radeon R9 280X cards are much the same in gaming and cooling performance, they still have subtle variations that make some better than others -- and one better than the rest in our opinion.Considering it's a mid-range to high-en...
