I didn't know some graphics cards came without. All graphics cards, or at least modern as Patrick said, have vsync compatibilities.

Sorry for the late response..i no longer sell those cards.I need to update my seller page.Sorry for any inconvenience.

Yes. All modern graphics cards support v-sync. It is a question of whether or not the game supports v-sync as well. Which most do.

all graphics cards support vsync its based on software not hardware but if you want free sync or gsync you need special PC monitors and for free sync you need a r9 285 and up for gsync you need a 900 series NVIDIA graphics card and up

This is a high end card. I looked at the the FTW version of this card before buying the windforce GHZ model. The GHZ gigabyte model has a better overclock and comes with a back plate. It also runs very quite under load and I have been very happy with it so far. Considering buying a second for sli right now. The only real step up currently available is the Gigabyte 780 Ti GHZ edition if you can find it in stock anywhere and it will cost you about $200 more.

Most new Radeon cards come with a 3rd party heat sync. I dont know why you would need this.It was a good heat-sync, but it doesn't come with a fan or a comfortable way to connect one.It has two sets of brackets, one for Nvidia and one for Radeon. You'll need to check it's compatibility to know if it fits or not.

Yes, they can be ran together and the 280X is really good at combining the performance of both cards working together.

I haven't gotten this card yet, but is my planned next upgrade from the r9 280x (xfx). But I will say what I've found in my research. Direct competitor of this card from Nvidia it seems is the GTX 780. very close. http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/graphics-cards/386182/amd-radeon-r9-290x-vs-nvidia-geforce-gtx-780 (it's not about the sapphire version but it is about the 290x) check out gpuboss for some comparisons & tom's hardware for reviews. From waht I've read specifically to the vapor x version of cards, it is actualy cheaper than the toxic version, is only slightly slower, and rumored to be cooler.

Mine does have coil whine on games where VSync is not turned on because it is pushing a ton of frames per second in games that are not as graphic intensive. Playing the Witcher 2 with every setting disabled I get over 96 frames, but there is no coil whine because it is around 100 FPS. The fans are very quiet and mine rarely gets above 70C so you won't hear the fans very often.

This is actually a 7970 ghz edition card rebranded as a 280x. So it is much better than a 270x. You can crossfire a 280x with a 7970 ghz or even a 270x or below down to a 7850 card. That makes this card very versatile. I have two 280x's in crossfire powering three 27 inch 2560x1440 monitors in eyefinity. 45fps in crysis 3 on ultra. Very smooth. I love this card especially the price.

No. But the reality is that G-Sync costs more to have in a monitor and it is really nothing more than a way to make a sub par graphix card behave like a pro rig. Now you should investigate your card before deciding that G-sync is not needed in your case. But this monitor is top of the line and a better than average card will make this thing sing. Review your system and make a decision based on that. For more real info completely read the info on the invidia site. Even though they make it sound like you must have it if you read it all you can see it is not necessary. They used to actually say that it is for low end cards and monitors but have since changed their marketing.

I haven't upgraded my 280x, because there has been no need to. Still runs the most recent games on highest settings.

Im sure the 290x is better than the 780, it has more horsepower too. the 780ti might be slightly better, but for way more money for a few fps that wont mater. So yeah between those two, id say the SAPHIRE r9 290x is better, the reference card sucks lol.

Yes the card will work fine with it. That motherboard has PCIe 2.0 and the card does have the ability to work with PCIe 3.0 but you may or may not see any difference depending on what you are doing. As far as the performance difference the R9 280X is literally a rebranded Radeon HD 7970, and you could accurately say that the R9 280 is more like a rebranded Radeon HD 7950. Both of the cards will be excellent choices, I would probably go for the cheapest one myself and save yourself some bucks as the differences are small. It's interesting to note that AMD is releasing an interesting line of Cards. The 280 is just a less beefy copy of the 280X but is by and large the same card, much like the R9 290 and R9 290X are the same card, just less power on the 290.

The 290x has more cores and a little higher clock speed. I'm sure the 290 can run WoW just fine. I play WoW and I keep my settings on "low" because I want more FPS than having the environment look pretty. I'm currently getting 200fps in dungeons and about 100fps in Warspear. If you really want to see a difference, the monitor is the biggest upgrade. Most monitors are capped at 60hz which means your gc will be running at 100fps, but your monitor can only display 60fps. I recently got the BenQ 144hz gaming monitor and I can see a HUGE difference over my old 60hz one. I'm actually seeing 144fps since my monitor can now display the framerate that my gc can push. 60hz monitor and 200fps graphic card == 60fps that you can see. 120hz/144hz monitor and 200fps graphic card == 120/144fps that you can see. Your monitor plays a big role.

I have not attempted this, but i will tell you that even after installing catalyst control center the videocard remains in 400mhz core clock speed UNTIL you select Amd overdrive from the app and set it to factory setting of 850mhz. If this is not done your performance will be just 400mhz and thats very weak

No, you may have success with 7970 + r9 270x but absolutely not with 7770. They have different GPUs. Dump 7770, it is too slow

I am using an Antec 600 watt now with no issues at all. Be advise this card needs Vsync enable to avoid screen tearing during video playback.

According to AMD, any discrete R7 card will work, preferably the R7 250 or 260, the 270, 280, and 290 will work as well, the R7X cards are overkill. One card should do the trick, you can CrossFire if you want but again, overkill. :-P

Yes, you can cf it with any 6900 series card, but its realize this card is 2 generations old now. 2 of these in cf would be the same performance as one r9 280. That, and horrible stability issues, screen tearing, and not optimized well. I know, because I have 2 in cf, about to upgrade to the r9 290x once they drop a bit in price.
