Pretty impressive stuff from the R9-280X



Price point is slightly cheaper than the 7970GHZ edition and a bit faster. a win2 combo

That bench looks weird... by right 280X is between 7970 and 7970GE.

Why wasted?

So which one is competing with GTX 760?

HD7950? But it need a price drop.

My guess would be R9-280 aka 7950 refresh.

Because I just buy about 2~3 months back

AMD doesn't have a direct competitor to GTX760.

Below is 7870, above is 7950.

AMD eliminated the "in between" tiers of cards (all 7X50 GPUs are gone).

R9 280X is synonymous with 7970.
R9 270X is synonymous with 7870.
R7 260X is synonymous with 7790.
R7 250 is synonymous with 7730.

Got 1 previously which so call Tahiti LE aka 7870XT, a short lifted product.

Interesting yet somewhat conflicting benchmarks all over the net at the moment...

Will do more reading later tonight.

oh ya.. I forgot about that price/perf monster

I mean 7950 still selling like hot cakes and currently priced lower than 760 (not in Msia obviously) so there's no need to come up with a new card to compete with it.

Limited ma, all those failed Tahiti XT and Tahiti Pro became Tahiti LE.

Hmm, is the R-270X is 7870XT?
wonder how high the OC can go. so far guru3d @ 1150/6400. indeed the performance abit higher/= 7970 ghz.

Nope, it is 7870 Ghz in disguise.

Targeting 760

Supposedly 280x is 7870 and 280 is 7850

Wow...R9 280X Toxic only RM1289??? Still cheaper than 7970GE...

Typo there.

Damn the price look more attractive now, hopefully 290x/290 is not 2.5k-3k expensive.
