Benchmarking the AMD Radeon R9 280x graphics card against 11 popular games in 2021 on an average gaming PC.
The R9 280x started out as one of the flagship graphics cards of the HD 7000 series in the early 2010s. In 2021, it has lost driver support, isn't fully compatible with the latest APIs, and has less VRAM that many new games are optimised for. Can it still stand up in the middle of the Scalper Pandemic?
