I'm assuming that he meant that his 280X is one of the best GPUs compared to other 280X's, not overall. It seems to bench pretty well, although no one really does use UserBenchmark
Err...yeah...sorry to break it to you, but all that says is that not many people use UserBenchmark. The 280X is mid-ranged at best nowadays.
Though it's a rather nice thing to get for free. You have nice friends.
I do have great friends, but I mean he ships everything to my house. I've had to bring him RAM, a PSU, a G502, a case, his cooler, his SSD, and a K70 to him on the train to school.
I'll be replacing the POS cooler (really, really don't suggest it) with a Phanteks PH-TC14PE_BK, and the case with an Enthoo Pro M Acrylic. I'm particularly showing off the just the GPU, because I have one of the best ones ever benched on UserBenchmark. Not bad for a GPU I got for free from a great, great friend. The motherboard was also free from one of my other friends. I also only paid $30 for the PSU, and it had the 24-pin and 8-pin sleeved by the guy I got it from.
