Not too sure. The 380 needs a separate booster pump. I had the. 380 for about 15 years and just updated last year with a new one. Had gear issues. Other than that it works great once you get the settings correct.

If you are talking about the Polaris 360 versus the 280 there is a huge difference in how your pool is plumbed. You should really talk to your local dealer. The 280 is designed for a booster pump and the 360 is not.

I don't know. I have never owned the 280. Do not have the two to compare. My original 360 lasted about 12 years.

I believe the 780 is smaller and a little better built. Easiest way to tell is to go to dewalt.com and do a comparison.

Yes it is better, the one from Nvidia that is similar and quite a bit superior in some points is the 750 gtx.

The 380 requires a booster pump. If you have two pumps it is probally a 380. If you have one pump a 360.

It is not hard at all. The top cocking aid cuts the draw weight in half. It isn't as hard to cock as the 380, it's about 15 lbs lighter.

Stock clocks on this card are GPU Engine of 1100Mhz and Memory at 1500Mhz. But, adjusting the clock speeds is very simple. The card is very flexible--the more you learn, the more flexible it can be. I've had a bunch of 280x variants and this Gigabyte is my favorite. I did have an MSI Twin Frozr 7970 (the same chip as the 280x, just an older name.) The MSI worked perfectly but it did run a little bit hotter under the same conditions. If I were deciding between the two I would take the Gigabyte unless the MSI were considerably cheaper.

I will go for this one!! I really love it!! If you get the 780 you can get 10-12 more fps, is really up to you. You can take advantage that 780 are at low price.

If your 280 is just three years old I would replace the axle and the wheel and save some money. I don't know that much about the 360 but I think the 280 uses a separate pump motor and the 360 uses the normal pool pump.

I wish I could help more - but my husband said he hasn't used the HD 558 so therefore he is in the dark too! Sorry - hope you find the answer you're looking for. If it helps he does love the 380s and amazon has offered the best price around.

Depends.. Prolly the 780 for the price. But titan is still the king for the premium of single gpu power. I have two titans in my machine. My buddy has two 780's..we don't notice any difference to the naked eye in game speed.

Sorry I don't have the 660 but the 270 is silent and very powerful. Really moves the air and I can run it all night.

Help, how was the upgrade from the Compool 3800, I need to do the samething. Any advice will help

hard to say without knowing how large the listing info is....but the 380 is a small gun and there would be some room for loose paper.

There is a decent jump between the two but not life-changing. The 280x plays everything I throw at it at the highest settings on a 1080p monitor and I can get 60fps (or close to it) as well. The only time I can't get 60fps, even on a AAA title like BF4, is on super high resolutions (I frequently game on three monitors with eyefinity). But even then I stay above 30fps on everything. So I would definitely recommend getting this card.

if so, just buy the 270 one, i think the price difference is due to the package logistic...

I have the R9-270 setup in crossfire. When I checked out the other R9 cards, I found this to be a very good deal considering the cost. So far they are solid performers and I am able to play all my games with max settings. Haven't tried some of the newer titles but I am confident in saying you will not be disappointed.

The 580 has a 50mm mylar driver whereas the 780 has a 40mm gold plated driver. Gold plating actually DOES matter for electrical throughput, although how much exactly is debatable. The 780 also has a higher frequency range, and it does show. It has clearer, higher treble. And before you burn the 780s in for about 100 hours, the treble can be a tad harsh. The bass on both models is punchy and clean, and can get pretty heavy if you have a DAC with bass boost options
