Is it worth going for a Radeon 7790 at this point (for £85)?

R7 260X isn't going to be a re-brand, the hint that it isn't a re-brand is because it supports AMD TrueAudio.

It is.

AMD didn't make a new revision into GCN Arch... the actual version is the GCN 1.1 that only the chip into HD 7790 have it until now... R9 290 is based in GCN 1.1... so all GCN 1.1 cards can support True Audio.

The other rebrand are GCN 1.0 like HD 7800 and HD 7900... so these didn't support True Audio.

To make clear what AMD did a will try to make a table.

Videocard	Chip Name	Version	Other videocards	True Audio
R9 290	Hawaii	GCN 1.1	-	Yes
R9 280	Tahiti	GCN 1.0	HD 7970	-
R7 270	Pitcairn	GCN 1.0	HD 7870	-
R7 260	Bonaire	GCN 1.1	HD 7790	Yes
R7 250	Cape Verde	GCN 1.0	HD 7770	-

That what the sites are saying... like AnandTech for example.

GCN 2.0 or a new Arch only with 20nm next year nVidia rebranded the GPUs too... Maxwell is wating 20nm too.

Ah, depressing to be proven wrong on that one! :P
Did some digging and it's definatly going to be based on Bonaire XT. :(
Dammit AMD! Bad enough we have had the same cards for 2 years! They must be stupidly cheap to manufacture now though.
