Say hello to the AMD Radeon R7-260

Today we'll review the AMD Radeon R7-260, a budget brother of the 260X. Before we begin, this review is a little shorter and less extensive opposed to what you are used to from us. But due to time constrictions and this card arriving really late this'll have to do as we have a lot of other stuff in the pipeline right now.

The Radeon R7 260 as tested today is fitted with a Curacao Pro core which has cut down specifications with a total of 768 Stream processors, a compute performance of 1.54 TFlops, 1 GB of GDDR5 memory and a low TDP of 95W which will be supplied through a single 6-Pin power connector. Clocks are set at 1.0 GHz for the core while the memory operates at 6.0 GHz effective clock speed aside a 128-bit memory interface. The card is PCI-Express 3.0 compatible. Equipped with AMD’s Graphics Core Next Architecture and providing 2x the performance of similarly priced products 2-4 years ago, the AMD Radeon R7 260 graphics is ready next-generation games being played ona  budget. The AMD Radeon R7 260 graphics comes features like AMD TrueAudio Technology is AMD CrossFire compatible as well AMD Eyefinity Technology and AMD ZeroCore Power ready. The card would be an excellent HTPC card, but you can certainly play games with it as well if you stay away from the higher resolutions of course.

The SEP of the AMD Radeon R7 260 will start at 79 EUR + VAT (or $109USD). You will start seeing availability in mid-January of 2014. Have a peek at the card first though.
