Selling components from my old gaming computer. Shown here is my reliable XFX Black DD Radeon R9 280X 3GB graphics card. This card is a great match for anyone looking to upgrade an older system, build a budget gaming PC, or even for a retro gaming setup using CrossFireX. The R9 280X was a powerful card in its day, capable of running many games at 1080p with solid performance, and prior to ASICs coming out, this was the premier model for efficient Bitcoin mining. The XFX Double Dissipation (DD) cooler on this model is known for its effectiveness in keeping operating temperatures in check while under load. It's a great option if you've been struggling to find a quality, capable GPU for a system on a budget, or one that still uses older components for a classic build.
Item is clearly used, and was in working condition the last time I fired it up. Item should have no problems with plugging in and getting straight to playing, but since I did not have the opportunity to test it, I'm it selling as-is or for parts. While I did utilize compressed air to clear out the residual dust from the heatsink and fans (being cautious to hold the fan blades in place while doing so), a more thorough cleaning via a full tear down would probably be advised in order to truly maximize capabilities.
