All of the reviews I've seen today prove that this card is exactly what I said it would be. It's a 450W monster that violates the PCI-e spec and makes extensive use of PowerTune to attempt to keep things in check. So there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that it will be just as worthless for Hashcat as the 295X2, possibly even moreso with this next version of PowerTune.
It genuinely makes no difference whether they call it "GCN 1.2" or "GCN 1.3" -- it's all the exact same architecture as the HD7000. Nothing has changed. They're just tacking yet more cores onto an architecture that is now 3 generations old (which is what I believe the 1.X nomenclature is all about -- the X indicates how many generations they've been running with the same architecture.)

I see here that they write that is v1.3
