For many enthusiast gamers, the 'sweet spot? price point for a graphics card is around the £200 mark. For this kind of cash you can get a solution capable of powering the latest Direct X 11 games at 1080p, and some even at 1600p. We recently had a look at the excellent MSI R9 280 Gaming Edition and the PNY GTX760 XLR8 cards, both priced around £185 inc vat. We had a lot of readers ask about the XFX R9 280 Black Edition, clocked at 1GHZ and available at a very attractive £179.99 (http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3gb-xfx-radeon-r9-280-black-52ghz-gddr5-gpu-1000mhz-1792-streams-dvi-hdmi-mdport) from Scan. Is this a good card to shortlist?
