Ordered the 280x.
This card should be a good upgrade to my 6950

I bought the 280X too, couldn't resist. Upgrading from a 4850 512mb. Hopefully I'll notice the difference
Yeah you'll see maybe 1 or 2 more FPS

This is the upgrade I'm doing also.
I'm joining you in upgrading from that card too. I hope there is a few fps increase (plus BF4 needed playing ....)I bought the 280X too, couldn't resist. Upgrading from a 4850 512mb. Hopefully I'll notice the difference
"Connectivity: 1 x DVI-D, 1 x DisplayPort (10 bit), 1 x HDMI, 1 x RGB (VGA)"
Due to that alone(the range of inputs), I don't think you will go far with overclocking the panel.
I loved that card! Friends would talk crap about it but it lasted me a good 4 years or more. I even used it for BF3 on medium at 1920x1200 res!

Thought long and hard about ordering the 280X yesterday, resisted.
Just bought one now.
Replacing my MSI HD 7950 - not a massive leap, but the old card will be used for mining in a different system - or could be sold on to cover the cost of a new card.

Well the Hazro arrived and will be going straight back. Awful backlight bleed, build quality is pretty poor.

That's amazing. That's probably the worst I've ever seen anywhere, even pictures on the internet.

How about my one then?.

It's actually that bad I'm laughing I've given up expecting quality from Hazro
Hopefully a replacement will be perfect...
Okay, you get the prize
.I can't believe they can be so bad. Does no one fire them up at the end of the assembly line to see if they even work?

I waited approx 11 weeks for my old Hazro to get sorted and now I get this....
I bought an Asus PB278 in mid December (which is superb) because I had enough of waiting and needed a monitor, I would have preferred a partial refund for my old monitor but OCUK wouldn't give me that only sending me this new Hazro instead which I just didn't really want tbh even though I suppose it was a good gesture.
I was due to sell it tonight, I decided to set it up to show the buyer and well yeah so had to call off the sale I looked like a complete idiot, Replacement time... so I can try and sell it again lol, I've had such a nightmare with OCUK and Hazro I think it's time for legal action.

Glad I went straight for a refund then, that one is terrible too.
