No, at this point in time, you should go for the Radeon HD 7970. It's the same card as the R9-280X (minus the TrueAudio), costs a bit less and has that "never settle gold" game bundle. AMD is pulling out all the stops to get these cards out the door right now. If and when TrueAudio becomes a real factor, you can always crossfire an R9-280X with that HD 7970 with the R9 as the primary and BOOYAH! You have TrueAudio and essentially 2 R9-280X's in crossfire. After all, you don't need 2 TrueAudios do you?
