How much did you get it for? Is it "vanilla" (don't think there is a reference 280x is there?) or a 3rd party manufacturer?

I would assume it will work fine, but I wouldn't expect much in the way of overclocking.
The question is, how good of a deal did you get....

Pretty steep price tag for a refurb in my opinion, but the card should do good for you.

I would of opted for a used 290..... but just an opinion.

Enjoy the card!

I would of thought that these would be readily available for much less in Asia since that's where they all come from?

where you from?

anyway like others said pretty steep for manufacturer's refurb and even it is manufacturer's refurb and lets say still manufacturer's warranty, they wont honor it locally. I have never encounter seen a company with worlwide warranty except for laptop of course. But with computer parts, not really.

Its better buy used R9 290.

i couldnt find a R9 290 and if i did it wil be pretty expensive..dont u think the R9 280X is good..and i dont rly trust used ones..since they may have scratches and stuff and may get broken fast..refurbished ones are goood.

I had 3 MSI R9 280X's, all developed faults within 6 months. Overclockers UK confirmed there was an issue with the MSI cards and swapped mine out for ASUS DirectCU II TOP cards. I would steer well clear.
