Radeon HD 7790 2GB vs Radeon R7 260x 2GB ... which is better?
They are both almost the same price and they are within 24 points of each other in Passmark (HD getting 3014 and R7 getting 2990) so which would I be better off getting? What is the difference between the two?
Intel i7-3770 4C/8T |16GB G. Skill Ripjaws (4x4GB) DDR3 1600 | Zotac Geforce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB | 2 x PNY 480GB SSDs | Pioneer BDR-209DBK | HP Pavilion 25XI 25" IPS 7ms Display
As of this writing, Gigabyte has a Radeon HD 7790 running at 1075 MHz with 2 GB of memory at 1500 MHz selling for $140 on Newegg. AMD plans to sell the R7 260X for the same $140. Most of the other 7790s are 1 GB models, so AMD is still adding some value. But there’s really not much to get excited about in the shift from Radeon HD 7790 to R7 260X, aside from TrueAudio getting switched on. And even then, we need to wait for the feature to get enabled in upcoming games.
*emphasis added by me.
