Radeon R9 280 Sapphire Dual-X OC 3GB Edition Game Requirement Analysis
Radeon R9 280 Sapphire Dual-X OC 3GB Edition is a special edition of the high-end Radeon R9 280.
This edition comes with a custom cooling system, which reduces the card's temperature under load significantly and comes overclocked out of the box in the central unit that was increased from 827MHz to 850MHz, while the Boost clock is now of 940MHz. The operating memory clock was left untouched.
Benchmarks indicate a little to no performance boost over the standard edition and so GeForce GTX 760 is still more powerful.
