Back at the beginning of February 2013 this was a great price with mining craze hammering AMD. Now some 6mo's later... When top notch custom R9 270X providing you similar 1080p performance to this and those are much less, while the 280 (non-X) that's this same price, with significantly more performance, and those are nice customs not this basically reference, hardly OC, smurf board on this thing.

Here's what a Gigabyte GTX760 OC WindForce 3X (1085-1150/6008 MHz) with 4Gb could do against a MSI 280 Gaming.

Though if it's Nvidia or nothing... ante up $25 more and $30 rebate; this EVGA GTX 760 2GB Superclocked w/ACX cooler at $225 has a case.
