Reviews are popping for all but the 290/290x,
R9 280/270 Reviews - Rage3D Discussion Area
I've heard you are able to crossfire a HD 7970 and an R9 280X, and also without a crossfire bridge. Nice to see a company is finally making use of PCI 3.0 instead of using an external link.
That's good Paul you got some good money for it I on the other hand undecided and I am not sure it would be worth it since I will pull the same amount of frames as a single 290x
@ Steve and Paul Ganjiry ADDRAM I do believe the 290 will be priced about a $100 more I doubt it will be 599.00 or 699.00 I truly believe AMD is playing with people here 280 =350.00 the 290 most likely will be 499.00 like the 7970 when it was Ghz Ed
Tommy, most of what I'm reading is the 280X is a rebranded 7970 GHz ED card, slightly overclocked and the ability to increase voltages a little more. If all the cards released today are rebranded 7000 serise cards and the 280X is a rebranded 7970 GHz edition, where is AMD going to go with the 290X? What is it going to be a rebrand of? Maybe a double 280X? Also, only the high end 280X is $350, many of the others are $300. The one I've read reviewed most is the Asus DC2T which is $310. And it is a tripple slot card which will make CFX a lot more difficult. It just seems to me that the reviews I've read raise more questions than answers.
