guys I'm looking to buy some cards r9 280x or 750ti What would you advise?


Depends.... 750Ti's are good at the moment but there is not much to mine with them so if the few profitable coins die they will be useless. Much more stuff to mine with 280x's and if you get them used they can be a good deal. I have a lot of 280x's and some 750Ti's and I can tell you that 750Ti's dont have much of an advantage in powersavings actually. If you know what you are doing you can get your 280x's running at 0.756V and they will be on par with the 750Ti  on energy costs still pumping out more Khashes.

If you are just starting it's probably not the best time to enter anyway...


My experience show the opposite opinion. I don't have 280, but I have 7950 and 290x. I don't bother attaching KillAWatt meter to 750Ti -- just feel the temperature and you know it is not burning. No external fans, no noise, I am super happy so far, even I did not make ROI so far on 750Tis -- I haven't made ROI on any cards yet, but mining itself is fun. 
How long have you been mining? I got my 750ti rigs about 3 month ago, paid 2.4 btc per rig (6x750ti, they are more expensive here than in the us) and I'm geting really close to return the invest ( 1.94 btc per rig after electricity expenses).
But, the fun is priceless Wink
