No reason for the existing 7970/7950 owners to upgrade to these.

TFS , apart from R7 260x there's nothing even remotely interesting and the previous naming scheme was better

in the same page with Topgear and rock, the one and only product which deserves the limelight is the R9290X, there is a leak of it getting tagged under a $799....
was expecting a lot from AMD , taking this significantly long time after the GTX700 launch from nvidia, all they did is re-paint older GPUs (which were already remarkable ) and release a probable titan-killer...whats the point? its not like average people are dying to buy a GTX titan every other day! AMD should watch it for maxwell.

Is 280x the high end card or 290x the high end card?(High end here means what HD 7970 was for previous gen)

^^ R9 280X will be a remade of 7970 Ghz Edition and will be launched in upper price bracket of the same region, where as R9-290X is the extreme level card such as we speak of Titan and so, so far it has outrun the titan milestones and is rumored to be released with a $tag not so hefty as titan. both are high-end cards, R9 has no med or low end cards.

yes it is for 300$ AFAIK...may not even be true...
no its not available sadly.. new egg has it coming soon
R9 280x is available on newegg at $299.99 from sapphire and the most pricey version is from Asus R9 280X Matrix @ $349.99 - so HD7970 refresh really got some great price cut to make it a great deal and if AMD has fixed the CF issues with frame pacing / timing completely with it's new release it's going to be just great for people looking for CF setup.

r9 280x also CFcompatible with older 7970s...which is great.

i believe its the 200$ competitor for 7870XT an 7950?

its 230$ and bit slower than 660Ti, means definitely slower than 7950, its also 7% slower than 760 which has a $250 tag, i think for $20 more 760 is still a better buy.
