280x worth the extra?

[c61ll]

Is the sapphire r9 280x toxic worth the £30 extra over the today only msi gtx 680 power edition at £240.

Both seem like good deals but trying to hold off for 290 prices.

I would say it is worth it for the extra Vram alone if you consider future proofing.

That was my thoughts just keep getting tempted by these good deals that keep coming up.
Just need to wait a little longer.
Ive seen reports of the never settle bundles coming to the r9 200 cards. Any idea when?

I would wait for the R9-290/290x release, they might introduce some bundles to the whole R7 and R9 range at that point

Get the 680 mate. Use the rest of the money to buy your girl something as well.
