I made the switch last from a 480GTX to a 280x a year and a half ago when BF4 came out . My last AMD card before that was an X800 pro IIRC , so when i was looking for a new car I had browsed benchmarks on the 280x not really reading reviews just looking at FPS and thought it was a good bang for the buck card ....so i went with it .
It's been fine with both BF4 and AH but after finding it was a rebranded 7970 ghz edition.... i was a little upset with myself for not doing more research. Is the 280x a bad card for the money.... not imho ... but i still felt duped . Wonder how some of the 390 guys will feel when they realize its basically a repackaged 290?
It makes it tough to stick with AMD next upgrade cycle , that and the last official (non beta) driver update for the R9 series was december of 2014.
