Clockspeeds are slightly different. The 280x has a 50mhz lower boost clock and 150mhz lower base clock.

Also supposedly all the new cards will not be part of AMDs Never Settle Forever bundle program at launch.

Tomshardware has it right below the GHz 7970s by their review today.

that's no good. where did you read this?

edit:

Moving on to retail matters, buyers of the 200 series will want to pay attention to the fact that the 200 series is not currently part of Never Settle Forever. AMD’s video game bundle program is not being extended to the 200 series at this time, so on top of the price cuts for the 7000 series they will also have an active game bundle while the 200 series does not. AMD for their part isn’t saying anything concrete about the future, but they are strongly hinting that this is temporary, and that the 200 series will be added later after the 7000 series is cleared out in order to give buyers an extra incentive to pick up a 7000 series card first. Given AMD’s situation it makes a lot of sense, but it means we’re in a weird position where in the first time for over a year it’s NVIDIA that has the better bundle, with their current Batman: Arkham Origins bundle.

I love the price listing for 290x in that article.
