Hi all,
It's my first post on here, it was finally time i sign up !
I've just bought a Sapphire R9 280X Tri-X O/C.
Bios (015.039) http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/149734/sapphire-r9280x-3072-130829-1.html
Q1: I actually thought i was buying a TOXIC card and realized my mistake afterwards...
but i also can't say the difference besides a 50MHz gap. ???
The card is stable @ 1160 / 1640 (stock is 1000/1100 boost and 1600)
Q2: after looking in the Bios database it seems that the Toxic bios is pretty much the same.
Would it be ok to flash with this more recent TOXIC bios 015.041

Q3: Would this more recent bios from the toxic model fix some existing problems or should i just edit the values with RBE and re-flash ?
Otherwise, i have to say it's a very nice card, exactly 2X the GPU power of my 6950 with 6970 o/c bios
I've made a 8050 score on Fire Strike( ), which seems pretty decent. (3960 with 6950with 6970 o/c bios)
Thank you all for your time and contributions to this fantastic community forum.

edit: just remembered RBE can't work with this for editing BIOS
