I don't seem to have a problem so long as the device ID's match.
Having said that, I don't bother with 280(x) bios swaps and such anymore. Instead I've manually edited a bios I selected from the repository and set it up with custom memory timings, voltage and clock states.
A fair bit of fun, mind you, you might have to turn your head around a few times and bookmark a hex to dec converter but it's almost a soothing process, haha.
I use HxD for edits and simply run VBE7 on the finished file to ensure the checksum is nice and happy. I don't use it for clocks or voltages anymore, too limited.
Speaking about modding a 7950 to a 280. Is it important to get a bios of the same vendor? I don't find any powercolor 280 bios, can i pick up a different one for my powercolor pcs+ 7950 ?

No need. Subsystem ID need to match. You can check it with Vbe7. I've done it couple of times on some different cards. Sapphire Dual-x 7950 to Xfx 280 DD, works.
Make sure you have second bios switch of somethings goes wrong.

There are a lot of things that need to fit properly. The most important ones are VRM and the memory type. Can you send me your bios?
