AMD R9 290X?

[eroxors]

Guys,
everything is rebrand exept the R9 290X
HD7970 = 280X
HD7850 = 270X
HD7770 = 260X

So, The R9 290 boasts 2,560 stream processors, the current top model, HD7970 has 2048.

Simple math tells us that the 290X should have around 20% better results than a 7970.

So lets say a HD7970 gets to 750Kh/s, a R9 290X should get around 900Kh/s.
Simple math, and then there is overclocking, a HD7970 that runs 750Kh/s is obviously OC'd pretty hard, so I am only just picking easy numbers on that one.

Your math is wrong. All things being equal (they won't be) 750Kh/s would extrapolate to 1031Kh/s for the 290X (37.5% more shaders) and 937Kh/s for the 290 (25% more shaders.)

Are you sure that the following is just rebranding?
HD7970 = 280X
HD7850 = 270X
HD7770 = 260X

Last I heard they are going to improve the performance instead of just rebranding.

Thanks

Well, i've seen reviews but that is just upping the core 50 Mhz and you get 1 FPS more...
And the 270X has 1280 cores, so the hd7850 core has been improved but not by much. (I think a hd7870 has 1280 btw).

Last time i've seen the branding there is no 290 non X, so I don't know what you are talking about

There is, I see some review it says that Radeon R9 290 is coming too, being that Radeon R9 290X even more powerful then R9 290.

Any news on launch price?

650€ for R9-290X and 520€ for R9-290. All other cards are rebrand with new price and little higher default clocks.

that's even more expansive then a 7990. Need to know which is more energy efficiency 

[l3jmr]

I think 7990 will be better in terms of speed , they work 1400khash+ dont they? For 650€ wich is supposed to be the cost of 290x you can get 3x 7950 and get 1800khash+ out of it. I doubt 290x will be able to top that.

The 280x might be best/most optimal mining card in terms of €/khash if they come out at 200€ and have the same speed as 7970.

R9-290 sounds like a good idea...

Euro prices translate 1:1 to USD bro, so expect a $520 price at launch. Maybe lower after a month or so.

I'm on same page here with you.
No way 290/290X is worth that money, 3 x 7950 and when you sell you lose much less on three 200$/€ card then on one 650$.

I was told 290/290x is more energy efficiency, so it might be worth while in the long run.

[Samir_H]

Same 28nm production process, chip is bigger than 7900 series. Not sure it can be more energy efficient.
The only question is what GCN2.0 brings.

[MerchantMiner]

Yeah but its gonna run WarFace like i stole it

[stefffe]

Just got my R9 280X, gonna install it in 1-2 hours. Ill post hashrate if someone is interested...

I am very much interested 
Also upload GPU-Z screenshot
BTW how much the card cost you?

Please do, and also the watt from wall and your undervolted settings

[Samir_H]

I'm also interested to see is it acting completely same as 7970 or is it better.

What brand you got and is voltage unlocked?

[stefffe]

Hi guys, just installed the card, its a gigabyte R9 280X 3GB OC. Cant seem to get the drivers installed tho, never had this problem b4. It gets installed as "standard vga adapter". GOnna try some stuff, brb.

I paid $350 for it, and Im from sweden so I guess its cheaper in the us

You need the 13.11 beta drivers from the AMD website.
