Thats a pretty tricky spot to be right now.
Will be interesting to see some gaming benchmarks.
Techpower up and others
R9 280 TDP 200W
Anandtech, Tom's Hardware and others
R9 280 TDP 250W
What is the correct???
250W? Then Tonga is OK.
200W? Then Tonga is almost no improvement in power efficiency.
Techpowerup as I said writes 200W

but AMD says 250W
