But wait the colors all wrong for the toxic edition.

Sapphire r9 280x tri x oc review.

Sapphire s packaging has always been one that stands out with great imaging and plenty of information both front and back to give the consumer the full picture of how the card is equipped and the details on the feature set. Sapphire s dual x r9 280 oc sports the unique dual x cooler with a black on gray theme attached to the company s namesake colored pcb. Looking at the vapor x r9 280x tri x oc it s like having a bit of déjà vu. Meet the sapphire r9 280x toxic clocked at 1100mhz for the base gpu clock and 1150mhz boost gpu clock with the their 280x toxic sapphire is aiming to have the fastest 280x card on the market.

Sapphire s r9 280x vapor x tri x sits just below the toxic model which we reviewed here as it has almost the same cooling solution but isn t overclocked as high hasn t been speed binned. There s no orange in sight but a bright metallic blue takes its place to convey the image of cool. Overall the sapphire r9 280x 3gb vapor x oc is pretty much what you d expect.
