I find it extremely unlikely that you could possibly know that from your sample size of four cards. Besides, you can't get them working the same so they obviously aren't the same.
You do know how GPU chips are made right? They aim to make the best 290x chip, and any that don't make the cut are regulated to 290's, ones not good enough for 290's go to 280x cards, then 270x, 270 and so on. This is why you can sometimes unlock a card to the higher end model, like old 5850 to 5870 flash, or even the 290 to 290x flash. There aren't enough low end chips because the process to make them is too good, so low end cards actually get better chips. Sometimes the chips are barely good enough to "be" a 280x, I'd bet a nickel that's the card you have.
Don't trust me and my rather recent experience with lots of different cards, especially 280x's, if you want though. Doesn't hurt me any.
