Scrypt FPGA are a lot more expensive too?
Someone who pre-ordered please update the status of the gpu. I wanna know the energy efficiency vs HD 7970
+1
The scrypt fpga coming out are 4x more efficient than 7950. I wonder what these will be.

as same as 7970,lol
Someone needs to go buy one and do some testing. Tom's hardware knows next to nothing about mining.
Anybody know the energy efficiency for R9 280x compare to HD 7970?

if you're interested, going by THW, its not as good as you think

I might be wrong but Mandle seems a replacement for direct3d/opengl and not opencl(/cuda) as one usually need for GPGPU stuff like coin hashing. If so it would be like using 3d gfx api for mining. So I doubt Mantle will change much.
The 290 and 290X will not be released until later this month.
The 270 and 280 models later this week will be rebranded existing chips.
I don't know if Mantle will improve hashing power but I guess someone first needs to write a mining program that uses the Mantle API.

Hello guys,
As you know, in few days, there will be New Radeons R9 270X, 280X, 290X in stores.
Interesting fact is a new API "Mantle" (ofcourse there is also DX 11.2 and OpenGL 4.3)
I think that Using Mantle API will give us big improvment in hashing scrypt alghorytm.
Tell me what do you think about it ?
