Hello,
I have been with out a video card for 3 months, stuck using onboard video
I have been trying to wait for the new r9 3xx series but I dont think I can make it until possibly june at end of q2 for the launch.
With that being said im looking at a video card for around 175 or less and seemed to have narrowed it down to 2.

Out of those 2 cards what one is the better choice over all? I have been reading alot of things about both cards and that has only made my choice more convoluted.
I would overclock either card, is the 1gig of ram worth it to go with the 280 over the 285?
Thank you for any help.
