Sapphire AMD R9 280 OC DUAL-X 3GB DDR5 With Boost HDMI/DVI-D/DVI-I/DP
Cons:- None currently

Pros:- Works natively with OS X Yosemite (hackintosh; no need for custom kexts)- Easily switches between UEFI (button off) and legacy mode (button on; blue LED) with the push of the physical button on the video card.- Support for 4K monitors and up to 4 monitors with a DisplayPort adapter- Large bus width and video memory. Haven't had any stutter on any game maxed out yet.- Not long like the 3 fan models, if I bought one of those it wouldn't have fit in my case (make sure to measure before purchase)- Quiet, sounds like a gentle breeze of air. (unlike my old reference cooled graphics card). Doesn't get louder when playing a graphically intensive game, case reaches about 32 degrees with purely fan cooling.
Comment:
Bought for the exclusive reason to natively support and run multiple monitors in 1920x1080 on Yosemite without the need to inject kext files with device ID's. Was able to install Yosemite with Clover EFI onto a custom built Intel PC without the need for any workarounds (kext injections, safe mode, etc) and booted first try in 1920x1080 with full graphics acceleration enabled.So far on Windows 8.1, has been able to play any game I own with maxed graphic settings.
