Interesting observation 280x, I had to raise GPU vdc in bios to get stable above 18.4MHs (now 1.118v) ... (was stable at 1.087v using previous kernel).  Best for me 1160gpu/1500mem threads 1, TC 24576 (it does make a difference).  Temps rise dramatically with minor increase in voltage sadly and have capped my overclock attempts as over 75c is enough for me Sad  I have been unable to lower mem clock it seems to be locked (powercolor R9 280x).  Cooler ambient temps coming but will not gain all that much as temps seem to rise exponentially with overclocking (nice heater LOL).
Congrats on profitibility St.Neman I am barely profitable with increased power requirement but the 1 DMD reward window will end soon enough ... take advantage while you can.  Got new (used) Mobo on the way and will soon get main miner back online (only 1 280x atm in entertainment box right now main miner mobo died in a puff of smoke LOL).
You should be able to push 73+ Mhs with 4 cards ... (volt mod and proper heatsink paste application).

It's a pity you can't reduce mem clock because it would save you watts and lower the card temperature (and also let you overclock the core more).
I think the 280x has a maximum core/ram clock range like the 7950: I used to set it at 1150 core and 1000 ram.
If the hashrate changes with thread concurrency, it's probably just compiler variance and not due to the TC buffer which is not used at all. Try removing the bins and restart a handful of times, you'll probably see different hashrates with the exact same settings.
