Today we have a chance to take another look at ASUS' Radeon R9 280X Matrix Platinum graphics card since we encountered some problems with our sample that was acting odd. It was simply not stable and was giving strangely bad results in temperature and power consumption, so we have decided to stop by one of the local stores and actually buy a retail card to confirm or contradict the results. Thankfully, it turned out that our sample was really defective, as the new card did much better.
