Is R9 280X Worth It?

No, despite its higher price point of $349, the Radeon R9 280X proves disappointing when purchased new. It falls short in 3DMark performance by a -82.4% compared to similarly priced Radeon RX 6750 XT.

In the used market, the Radeon R9 280X fails to justify its value for money. It lags behind the GeForce GTX 980 performance by -45.3%, making it a bad investment.
