Interesting thread, thanks to OP for starting it off.
I have been mining ETH with GPU for a little while now a week and a half basically and did pool mining at first for a little while but thought I would give Solomining a try.
Has not been too bad, only have one R9 280X with around 24MH/s hashrate and I found two blocks in 3 days which I thought was quite good going.
Will leave it running for a couple more days before going away as don't want it on when I can not keep an eye on it.
Mining ETH on a GPU does not stress it as much as what Scrypt did, that's for sure, from what i can see.
With Scrypt running at full hashrate, it was hard to do anything else on your PC but with ETH even when mining, you can still do other tasks without it affecting things.

have you tired the r9 390s and how much hash can you get out of them?!?

R9's 390s cost a lot. They do 27-30 a card
I did get four from Amazon warehouse at 291 each which is a good priced. Used 30 day return policy
