Where's joker when you need him how does the 280 compare to this are there any stats yet?

Seems like memory bandwidth and core clock are still down compared to the 280x. I guess the old 7970 GHz Edition was a champ of a card for lasting this long!

Eh, just buy a R9 290. It's a better overall card.

And for those who want to know why:

ASUS Direct CU II R9 290 4GB @ R5241

Sapphire R9 380X Nitro 4GB @ R5499

There's a ~24% performance boost over the R9 380X.
