As you can see in the spec table above, the Radeon R7 260X sports higher engine and memory clocks than the HD 7790 and 260X’s default memory configuration is 2GB as well. These new cars, however, have been tweaked and enhanced in a number of ways.įirst up we have the Radeon R7 260X. The R9 270X features the same piece of silicon as the Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition and the Radeon R7 260X is powered by AMD’s Bonaire GPU, which first arrived on the Radeon HD 7790. In case you missed the news that hit last week, we should mention that the Radeon R9 280X is built around AMD’s Tahiti GPU, which also powers the Radeon HD 7970. We’re going to compare and contrast the Radeon R9 280X, R9 270X, and Radeon R7 260X to their most closely-related cousins in the Radeon HD 7000 series, since the cards are ultimately very similar.
