You are correct. I heard that they were going to re-release the 7950 as the plain 280 but that was months ago. I figured they just decided not to.

I didn't realize that they were actually out (280 non X), that's why I didn't bother with the X, as up until apparently now, when you mentioned a 280, you actually were referring to the 280X (7970).

Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

This being the 7950, I still would go R9 280.

The 280 is a bit more powerful than the 760 - http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/67581-sapphire-radeon-r9-280-dual-x/?page=4
but not always - http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/67581-sapphire-radeon-r9-280-dual-x/?page=5
it uses a bit more power than the 760 - http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/67581-sapphire-radeon-r9-280-dual-x/?page=10 but runs cooler
and it overclock well - http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/67581-sapphire-radeon-r9-280-dual-x/?page=11
It looks like it'll be more expensive than a 760 - http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/67581-sapphire-radeon-r9-280-dual-x/?page=12
