Asus R9 280 DirectCU II TOP

[dassan]

Hey guys i wanna buy a r9 280 gpu and i have 2 options on where i live. Asus R9 280 DirectCU II TOP and Sapphire Dual-x R9 280 ... I want to go on Asus one but on net i saw lots of topics about Asus R9 280x Artifact problems. I wanna know that problem is same with the Asus r9 280 (non x) one also? I be happy if u help on this issue plz, thanks.

I would stay away from asus amd products. their cooler was designed for nv cards. but dual x isn't much better either. If they are your only choices, damn, sucks for you.

Because of the 45° mounting of the GPU the DCII cooler is fine for Tahiti. It's just Hawaii it has trouble with.
