Did I make a mistake?

[JoshieBobba]

The new cards just came out and I just ordered a 7950. Did I make a mistake? Are the benchmarks any higher? 

[Bluejay0]

7950 is best price to performance and will further benefit by Mantle so you did good.

[Coombzy]

not at all the new cards that came out are the rebranded ones the R9 290 and 290x are the only new ones so it will most likely perform on par with what card is "replacing it"

[Drown]

No, the 7950 is still a great value IMO, even more with the price drops.

The R9-280X is 300$ and equivalent of a 7970Ghzs (it's a rebadged one) and the R9-270X is 200$ and is the equivalent of a 7870XT AFAIK, could be wrong on this. 

The 7950 is in the middle, and it's a heck of a card for the price. It's a good decision don't worry

PS : I haven't been following this closely so there might be a R9-280, but I haven't seen any real infos so far.

7950=R9 280

So you did not make a mistake.

Everything here is correct but the card you are mentioning is the possible R9-290 non X

[Bluejay0]

7950=R9 280

So you did not make a mistake.

 

There's one. It's 280X=7970Ghz

 

Or you mentioning a supposed 280 non x?

[Drown]

A R9-290 non x would be the equivalent of the 7950? How come it's like that, since the 280X is a rebadged 7970Ghz, and thus better than the 7950?

Or do you mean that there's a R9-290 non x coming out but not a 280 non x?

A 290 non X coming out is what I meant. I have not heard of any 280 non X equivalents at all.

Almost. The 270X is a vanilla 7870 GHz

[M-ursu]

There's one. It's 280X=7970Ghz

 

Or you mentioning a supposed 280 non x?

Yes, there might be 280 because X marks eXtra so, for logic sense there will be non X version.

[Bluejay0]

Yes, there might be 280 because X marks eXtra so, for logic sense there will be non X version.

 

So that means a regular 240,250,260,270, AND 280? *GASP* NO WAY!

not if u got a good deal for them. which you probably did since their prices were really far dropped

[Joke gaming]

No
