Radeon R9 280X HIS iPower IceQ X² Edition Game Requirement Analysis

Radeon R9 280X HIS iPower IceQ X² Edition is a special edition of the high-end Radeon R9 280X.
This edition comes with a custom cooling system called "IceQ X²", which reduces the card's temperature under load, significantly and comes overclocked out of the box in the central unit that was increased from 850MHz to 1000MHz, while the Boost clock is now of 1050MHz.
Benchmarks indicate a modest 3% performance boost over the standard edition and so a GeForce GTX 770 is still more powerful.

Yup. 600watts is more than enough for an overclocked i5 and an overclocked 280x
