one thing i dont like about my dc2 ( nonT) and with the T ,,,, the bottom heat pipe near the PCIE slot get hot and transfer alot of heat to the bottom and near the motherboard

For me i don't have PCIE raiser , so my dc2  bottom heat pipe sit on the top of the z87 heat sink ,,,,,

also they dont have dual bios switch unlike the the Gigabyte ..... but they are unlock

 but there a great card , very cool , and very quite . stable clock with the same hash rate as most other cards...

i personally don't think there worth $50 USD more then the Dual-x


PS get the one with free BF4 and send me a code lol

I would go with the Asus, I have 15 of them in total. (5 per rig).

They are super quiet hashing stable at 740kh/s

Dual-X can get noisy

Toxics are amazing though (I have 1 rig with 3 toxics right now) 803kh/s per card.

Well, actually I intended to buy Asus R9280X-DC2T-3GD5 but there are lots of complaints that it is artifacting. Can you share with your experiences with that card? Or should I choose Dual-X? (If I could find Toxic on the stores I would buy it)
