HIS R9 280X iPower IceQ X Turbo & Sapphire Radeon TOXIC R9 280X

[ATB]

Does anyone know where you can purchase either (or both better yet) of these cards from?

And why are they "Temporarily out of stock" when they are brand new cards?

?

And which do you think is the best of the two?

Was up in the air on both - HIS is MUCH quieter - but Sapphire Toxic seems to be a bit faster and looks better (lame reason, but Id like my build to LOOK nice as well - has a sweet looking bottom plate - forgot what its called actually).

feedback appreciated - thank you in advance

Does this mean you consider these two cards as totally compatible with 10.9 ? Out of the Box? I couldn't find any definite mention of this in the forum but maybe you did...

I've just built a rig based on i477Ok and 10.9 for video editing, working perfectly with FCPX and CS6 but only using the integrated HD4600. I was going for Nvidia but then changed my mind when I realised that now Apple seems to go AMD, offering better compatibility for OpenCL in FCP.

I probably will go for 270X or 280X, according to different validations I can find on the forum.
Sorry I can't help regarding where to buy the cards, R9 series have just started to show up in France, in a very unconsistant manner. I suppose we just have to be patient...

They are brand spanking new, and people are buying them. Thus, the store will run out of stock until it can get some more to sell. Make sense?
