Gigabyte 7950 and R9 280X benchmarks (comparison)

[msdos622wasfun]

Hi everyone. I recently got a Gigabyte R9 280X video card, and for anyone interested I wanted to post some benchmarks. My previous card was a 7950, also a Gigabyte, so I compare it to that.

You can watch the YouTube video here: http://youtu.be/sr892FS3_d4

System specs:

AMD FX-8350 Black Edition CPU
ASUS M5A99FX PRO MOBO
16 GB Crucial Ballistix DDR3 1866 RAM
Dell UltraSharp U2713HM 27" LCD
Corsair HX850W PSU
Windows 8.1 Pro x64

(The 280X is recognized as a 7970 in some tests.)

Thanks, have a great one.
