Toxic 280x make 720-750, sometimes more 800 kh/s, so it's definitely better option, but the best one is several 270 )))

Sapphire TOXIC AMD Radeon R9 280X 3GB  cost $515
Sapphire TRI-X AMD Radeon R9 290X OC 4GB costs $740

Not at all twice the cost.  Configmyrig.com says the 280x gets 600 kh/s and the 290x gets 800 kh/s.
Litecoin info has high values contrasting from 770Kh/s vs 1002Kh/s.

So basically you are incorrect in both statements.

why would you pay 2X more for the 290x card when it gets only 100khs more then a 280x card which costs 2X less?

I've never trusted the stuff people post to that site.  None of those values worked on my Gigabyte R9 290x.

How much of a hash rate difference are there between these two cards?
Sapphire TRI-X R9 290 OC 4GB
Sapphire TRI-X R9 290X OC 4GB

I had a Gigabyte R9 290x OC4GB that I was only getting around 840Kh/s with and then it went dead.  So if I get a full refund on it then I'd like to stay away from Gigabyte this next time.
