Doesnt look that impressive to me, i'd like to see some scrypt tests tho. And it needs ~ 300W at full load.

Ok so if these cards are almost the same as the old ones (79xx)
Is it better to get the old cards for alt coin mining?
They should be cheaper, right?

There is another high end model coming, which is new, the 290x and 290.
Those should mine faster but we don't know pricing and consumption yet (some say 570usd these days, since it's the pre order price at shoblt.com)
I'm probably getting one of those, if they do 1000-1200kh/s whilst drawing 300-350w
I think used 7950s would be ideal, specially if they hit the 100usd price point.

Same as a 7970, probably, it's the SAME card...lower stock voltage at 1.2v vs 1.25v.
Got mine Sapphire Vapour-x 280x today, works 760khash without too much hassle. 1080/1500 1,13v @ 68 C, fan 68%. Also VRM is at 88 C and 84 C wich i like, the 7970 could easily go above 100 C.
I really like the back plate on the GPU, dont know if 7970 vapour-x also had one tho.

Hey bro.
what's the power consumption of 1 280X card?
I think mine is abit louder compared to the sapphire 7970 dual-x i had in my pc before. Might be just the model tho dual-x vs. vapour-x, i really cant say never had 7970 vapour-x to compare it to.
I got an MSI R9-280X OC Edition last week, mines at 740K temp 78/81 C and it's incredibly silent. 
What's the noise like on these new cards when mining?
Compared to the old 79xx series?

They are the same cards basically...doubt they change much.

Everyone have been talking about AMD R9 290x, 290, 280x. Did you guys forget about R9 270x?
Tried really hard to look for some info about it but found nothing on the internet.
Tried really hard to look for some info about it but found nothing on the internet.
We didn't forget, there's plenty of info.
It's like this:
-R9 290x and 290 are the ones that are new gpus.
-R9 280X is a 7970 GE
-R7 270X is a 7870 Pitcairn card or maybe Tahiti LE, so not so good
I think you got me wrong, I'm actually asking about the hash rate for R9 270x compare to HD 7870 or HD 7950. If its worth buying to hash Scrypt coins..
Well, 7870 sucks for mining...you should wait for either an r9 280 non x (cheap 7950) or get used 7950s, or get an r9 290 if it's good.
Alright thanks, will wait for R9 290 then. Did they just delay the release again?
It'll launch on the 24th apparently.
6 more days, but feels like 6 months...
Not bad when you take that radeon gcn architecture is not purely gaming oriented. I'm curious how good miner this card is.
Gaming benchmarks, for what it's worth ...

yes. i'd think 280 will be the best choice. with unlocked votage.
