Which GPU to purchase with $200 for Ethereum GPU mining? Any ideas? That's all what I'd like to spend right now on GPU.

I would say r9 380 or 380x.

wait three weeks and buy the AMD rx 480 for $199 when it is releases. It should be the best bang for the buck and lower power consumption than current generation cards.

Under the risk that drivers wont squeeze the max hashrate for the card for months.

R9 290(X) Or 390(X) Waiting three weeks sets you back about $3/day.

If I purchase R9 280 Dual x 3GB DDR5, what hash rate should I expect for mining of ethers?

Around 20.5 Mh/s decreasing a little with every epoch change.

R9 290 as waiting will make profits thinner, you can snag a 290 for about 200 bucks and the 390 will run 300. R9 480 will be $200 when it gets released but it may be difficult to get in the beginning.
I get 25mh on my R9 290 units with proper settings.

You are doing something wrong. 290 should do 29MH easily.

All I can get is 25 mh with genoil miners, with a global work of 16384 local work 256. other miners are slower.

Hmmm... you tried that another miner?

How am I doing it wrong? That's not how I write the option as I put it in my bat file, I put that here cause it's easier to write on the forum.

Good luck getting a 480 for $200.

I think radeon RX 480 is best choice, waiting some one review it, the electric cost very low.

Right now, R9 290 or R9 390 - but expect high power consumption for the 30MH ballpark both can manage.
Skip the X varients - more expensive, don't hash any faster, eat more power - unless you get one HECK of a deal on one.
R9 280X or R9 380X are fairly good alternatives if you can't find 290/390 cards where you are at.
End of the month, depending on availability and "early adopter premium" pricing, the RX 480 MIGHT be a good choice - but I'd not count on it 'till more likely late July or sometime in August to get down to the $199 MSRP on sites that actually have them in stock.

That is what I will do. The power consumption will be much lower than the 380x and hash faster.

i would wait for the 480 at this point, even if you find them a bit power than the target price, let's say 250 or 275, it still worth the money than any old genration card
here it seem that all you guys are stealing energy or something, but electricity cost matter more than anything else for me
i would not buy any old cards at the moment, ever

290s are hard to find and very overpriced used. Not to mention beat on. I would not want to buy a used card that has already been mined on for 3+ years.
The 300 series are power hogs.
I suggest you wait to see what the 400 series will do.
