Description
As-Salam-o-Alaikum,
I am putting on sale a graphics processing unit (GPU) card: Sapphire Radeon R9 280X 3GB GDDR5 Dual-X OC Version (UEFI) PCI-Express.
The card was purchased in April 2021 and used in an HP Tower PC for around 2 years. An excellent GPU (better than nVidia GeForce GTX 960), a huge upgrade over nVidia GeForce GTX 780Ti. A pleasant surprise was being able to run both cards (Sapphire Radeon R9 280X and nVidia GTX 780Ti) at the same time, without crossfire or SLI.
The computer was permanently powered through an APC Stabilized UPS and installed in an air-conditioned room.
I have since migrated to performance-laptop ASUS ROG-Series (for portability reasons). The card was carefully removed from the PC, thoroughly cleaned and stored in anti static-charge wrap in a cool and dry cupboard.
The graphics card has never been opened, serviced, over-clocked, tinkered with, used for mining or even SLI-configured.
It was primarily used for Masters-level Engineering software (CAD, 3D Graphics rendering, MatLab, Video editing, AI-computations, Machine-Learning) and casual Gaming.
Thermal performance of this GPU is its best quality. It has never soared past 66ºC mark, which makes it ultra-reliable for extend periods of graphics rendering.
Works in parallel for driving 4+ monitors in conjunction with another 280X (when non-SLI), and works fine in SLI mode to nearly double the frame rate (@Cinebench). Also drives a Samsung 4K TV without any issue.
For sale: GPU only (without box or cables/adapters).
Potential buyers may test the GPU onsite if they bring their own desktop/tower PC (with atleast 550W PSU, 8GB RAM and a vacant high-profile PCIx16 slot), display LCD and a 5m power extension cord.

Graphics Core Next Architecture:
The AMD Radeon R9 280X graphics processor harnesses visionary GCN Architecture, successor to TeraScale. GCN is an optimized instruction set SIMD microarchitecture, also used in PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Dual-X Technology:
Famous for its exclusive cooling solutions (award-winning Vapor Chamber Cooling technology) R9 280X saw the introduction of dual-extractor (Dual-X) technology, a highly efficient multi-heatpipe cooler with dual fans that provide quiet and cool operation during normal operating conditions, and superb cooling performance under extreme load.
Benchmarks:
R9 280X is a faithful successor to the previously successful Radeon HD7950. It has excellent performance across benchmarks, particularly at GPU Compute benchmarks. Gaming wise, it has an enhanced clock speed, which allows the user to play all current games at 1080p and has enough power to support 1440p gaming for most titles. It also supports 2K WQHD Displays at Ultra-High settings.
Games (1080p, Max Settings):
CSGO: 157 FPS
LoL: 143 FPS
Minecraft: 132 FPS
Valorant: 121 FPS
Overwatch: 98 FPS
World of Warships: 97 FPS
Fortnite: 90 FPS
Skyrim: 88 FPS
Battlefield 1: 70 FPS
