AMD New Generation Radeon R9 290X!!!!!

Guys, R9 290X was available for order today. Will cgminer work right out of the box for this card or do we need an updated OpenCL code for it to work? Thanks

I would really like to know what they can reach, and with what wattage. Hopefully some will be in stock soon.

I got my 290X,  but when hashing scrypt using cgminer, I get lots of HW error. Cgminer 3.3.1 as well as 2.11.2.
 I have tried almost all reasonable setting of clock speed / memory speed / shader counts, lookup-gap, thread concurrency, etc, but I cannot get rid of HW errrors. It mines SHA256 without any hardware errors at 750MH/s. I am using AMD drivers beta 8, the one released on Oct 30 2013.

It's usually the gpu-thread or thead concurrency that causes HW errors for me, possible shaders setting. I haven't tried the 290x yet though.
