too many model i'm confused

Well they're both 280X cards but not the same no. The links you provided clearly have differences in the available outputs and included accessories. The bios is probably different as it looks like from the description the top one is also capable of secure booting with UEFI.
 
but why there is a toxic and a tri-x version of 280x? sapphari is retarded really, no need 2 versions of the same card lol
 
Useless to you is not useless to everyone some may like the different outputs and some probably want secure boot with UEFI.
 
It looks like the OP is a miner, so these options would be useless to him. If you use your GPU for anything in addition to compute tasks, then these differences would be important to the end user.
 
If you are looking for assistance in finding the right card for your needs, then this is a great place to come and ask for help. If the point is simply to be snarky, expect people to return in-kind.

Sapphire is one of my favorite video card OEMs precisely because they offer variations of their cards to suit different users' needs. For the higher-end equipment, they typically offer a reference (vanilla) card, a non-reference - mostly stock card (dual-X), an enthusiast - overclocking card (tri-X), and sometimes a hardcore enthusiast - overclocking card (Toxic). Each of these cards caters to a different market segment that exists within the diaspora of the higher-end PC components market.

Some people will want to use a stock card and not worry about overclocking or temperatures as much, so the reference card suits them. These cards also suit the early-adopters that don't want to wait for the non-reference equipment and its subsequent improvements over the vanilla design.

Other users want a better cooling solution that comes with the non-reference, stockish cards and so they have that option.

Still other users want the best in performance, then want to further push it to the limits by overclocking their purchases.

Lastly, the elite want the absolute greatest performance with the added ability to go beyond the limits of lesser cards (and sometimes the epeen enhancement that comes from such purchases).

I personally like to find a solid factory-overclocked card with a decent cooling solution. I typically do not overclock my GPUs, but I value knowing that the option is there. I am willing to pay a bit more for the theoretically better-binned chip, which should run at a higher clock rate with less voltage increase than trying to buy the stock card and overclock it to the same level.

If Sapphire offers too much variety for you, then stick with a lesser brand that doesn't, but don't blame Sapphire for making a product stack as versatile as they do.
 
apparently you guy did not understand my complaing

my complain isn't about the vapor-x trix and the other yellow one

but with the 280x tri-x and the toxic, they are two different things if you are not aware of

there is a 280x toxic, we all now well about it and a 280x tri-x, then we have the vapor-x tri-x and a vapor-x tri-x oc version

that's just the toxic

but about the 280x TRI-x? this gpu looks exactly the same as the vapor-x tri-x with oc
