Sapphire R7 260X Graphics Card Review
Introduction
In October 2013, AMD released their follow-up to their Radeon HD 7790 that was released the previous April, the Radeon R7 260X.
It is built on the 28 nm process and based on the XTX variation of the Bonaire graphics processor. Unlike the HD 7790 that came before it, the R7 260X commonly features 2Gb of graphics memory. The Bonaire graphics processor also has many features that are only shared with AMD’s Hawaii R9 290(X) and Vesuvius R9 295 flagship models. These include TrueAudio Technology and PowerPlay with ZeroCore Power Technology, to name a couple.
When Sapphire asked if we wanted to review their Radeon R7 260X, we happily agreed. They did, however, have one stipulation, we needed to use a more budget-friendly test system than our usual Intel i7-based test system. This makes quite a bit of sense. Most people who purchase a graphics card in this price range are not installing it in a system with a $300+ processor. We chose an AMD FX-6300-based system. The FX-6300 is a $120 processor that is very popular. This review goes one step further than our typical graphics card review by also including base and overclocking results for the CPU as well.
Sapphire’s Take on the R7 260X 2GB
SAPPHIRE R7 260X with new AMD TrueAudio Technology, enable games to feature more realistic environmental dynamics, sound effects, and directional audio. With the new AMD Eyefinity Technology, R7 260X now supports up to 3 monitors. With 2GB of the latest GDDR5 memory and 896 stream processors, and support for DirectX 11.2, the architecture is built to play the very latest games with perfectly smooth action even at higher resolutions.
HDMI (with 3D)
Support for Deep Color, 7.1 High Bitrate Audio, and 3D Stereoscopic, ensuring the highest quality Blu-ray and video experience possible from your PC.
DisplayPort 1.2
Doubling the effective bandwidth of previous DisplayPort implementations, DisplayPort 1.2 now includes support for Multi-Stream, allowing you to drive up to four separate monitors from a single DisplayPort 1.2 connector (requires DP1.2 monitors or Multi-Stream compatible hub), Stereoscopic 3D monitor support and adds support for high quality, lossless, 7.
1 channel audio formats.
Dual-Link DVI-I
Equipped with the most popular Dual Link DVI (Digital Visual Interface), this card is able to display ultra high resolutions of up to 2560 x 1600 at 60Hz.
Advanced GDDR5 Memory Technology
GDDR5 memory provides twice the bandwidth per pin of GDDR3 memory, delivering more speed and higher bandwidth.
AMD Stream Technology
Accelerate the most demanding applications with AMD Stream technology and do more with your PC. AMD Stream Technology allows you to use the teraflops of compute power locked up in your graphics processer on tasks other than traditional graphics such as video encoding, at which the graphics processor is many, many times faster than using the CPU alone.
AMD Avivo HD (DVD/HD-DVD/Blu-ray Playback)
Watch the hottest Blu-ray movies or other HD content at full 1080p display resolution and beyond and enjoy a more feature rich experience with enhanced Unified Video Decoder(UVD)
AMD CrossFireX™ Multi-GPU Technology
Triple or Quadruple gaming power with AMD CrossFireX™ Multi-GPU Technology.
AMD CrossFireX technology supports up to four graphics cards to be used in a single system.
AMD HD3D Technology
Enjoy the most immersive experience possible with full support for High Definition Stereoscopic 3D, a technique that presents 2D images (movies, games, photos) in a format that creates the illusion of three-dimensional depth when using compatible 3D displays / glasses / software.
28 nm GCN (Graphic Core Next) Architecture
The new 28nm GCN Architecture’s more efficient process technology puts more transistors in less space, enabling a dramatic increase in processing power
PCI Express 3.0
PCI-Express 3.0 delivers double the bandwidth per lane of PCIe Gen 2 for faster GPU (GPU communication-up to 16GB/sec in each direction), maximizing the performance from your GPU when paired with the latest platforms.
AMD Eyefinity 2.0
The next generation of AMD Eyefinity technology is here, featuring all-new support for stereo 3D, universal bezel compensation and brand new display configurations.
Face it: the best just got better: The enhancements for AMD Radeon HD7000 series include: Stereo 3D-multi-display stereoscopic 3D support via DisplayPort 16K X 16K maximum display group resolution-output up to 268 megapixels per GPU.
Discrete Digital Multi-Point Audio
The AMD Redeon HD 7900 Series is the first GPU that can simultaneously output multiple and discrete audio streams via HDMI and DisplayPort Output.
AMD TrueAudio Technology
The expectations of gamers have never been higher. Graphics quality and processing speed have advanced rapidly, and the games of today are light years ahead of those from just a few years ago. But advancements in game audio have been more sporadic and less widely adopted.
Sound is a critically important part of the immersive experience for gamers and sound engineers are eager to advance their art, but they haven’t enjoyed the same kind of attention that continually drives graphics improvements.
Until now.
DirectX® 12
The tessellation performance on AMD Radeon R7/ R9 series is up to 2X faster than the previous generation, and DirectCompute performance is also faster to accelerate advanced post-processing, filtering, and anti-aliasing techniques. Direct X12 games has never looked this good.
OpenGL 4.3
OpenGL 4.3 improves the GPU efficiency by improving the shader process operation and capturing GPU tessellated geometry. The process of modifying an arbitrary subset of compress texture is also simplified. The memory management in handling shaders is more efficient as well.
Mantle
Properly enabled games will reach new heights of performance by speaking the language of Graphics Core Next architecture.
AMD Catalyst Control Center™
The AMD Catalyst Control Center™ software application gives you complete control over the performance and visual quality of your SAPPHIRE AMD Radeon™ based graphics card allowing for the best experience on your PC.
Dolby® TrueHD and DTSHD Master Audio™ Support
Support for copy protected, high bandwidth, 7.1 channel surround sound over HDMI. Get a fully immersive, high definition audio experience with the latest Blu-ray movies. (Requires a DVI to HDMI dongle on some models, an HD capable monitor and a Blu-ray drive)
Anti-aliasing features

Testing Environment
Performance testing consists two sets of tests, synthetic benchmarks and actual game benchmarks. Between the two synthetic benchmarks and five game benchmarks; we are able to test OpenGL, DirectX 9.0C, DirectX 11, and Mantle application programming interface (API) environments. Synthetic benchmarks are run at their default settings. For gaming benchmarks, the first set of tests is at a 1366 x 768 resolution and medium detail settings .
This is the test where most medium range cards will typically perform well. The second set of tests is at 1920×1080 resolution and at more demanding detail settings. This is the test where most higher price range cards will typically perform well.
Games are chosen using four criteria: 1) Each game must be a well known title. 2)Each game must have it’s own built-in benchmark. 3) Each game must be on a game engine that is different from the other games or utilize it’s game engine in a way that is unique from the other games used. 4) Each game must be free of continuous patch updates, to ensure a consistent environment for future graphics card testing.
Mechanical drives are eliminated in the test system, to alleviate any I/O-related bottlenecks. All testing was done with an AMD FX-6300 processor clocked at stock specifications, as well as at 4.6GHz.
Microsoft Windows 7 Home 64-bit SP1 is chosen as the operating system, due to it being the most common operating system currently in use.
Only the most current non-beta release drivers are used for testing, unless specifically stated otherwise.
Overclocking
I started overclocking the R7 260X using AMD’s own Catalyst utility. The video card is voltage locked and I was unable to adjust the voltage beyond the power limit of +20%. I tweaked the core speed first and then moved onto the memory speed. At this point the R7 260X was running 1170Mhz on the core and 1550MHz (6200MHz) on the memory. This was an increase of 17% and 24% respectively. On an average, seeing in increase of around 19% percent increase in frame rates, when combinined with the 4.6 GHz clock on the FX-6300 processor in our suite of benchmarks.

Noise
Noise is a very subjective thing.
While measuring dB level of noise can tell you how loud something is, it does not tell you the quality of the noise. Human hearing is the most sensitive in the 4000Hz range. This is roughly the same pitch as a crying newborn baby or the old adage, nails on a chalkboard. The human brain is wired to react to this frequency range and when we are unable to stop the noise, we become agitated.
For this test, the best case scenario is absolute silence. For the worst case scenario, I use the most annoying sounding and loudest video card I have at my disposal, the Nvidia 7600GT. The Sapphire R7 260X was extremely quiet. I rarely every noticed any fan noise while testing and then it was only when the covers were off the test system.
Final Thoughts and Conclusion
The Sapphire Radeon R7 260X 2Gb managed playable performance at 1920×1080 in most modern game titles, often while only having to reduce the settings a bit. At 1366×768 it performed well at every game I through at it.
There was not a single game I threw at it that it wasn’t able to handle on some level. Dirt 3 was a joy on the card, easily handling 1920 x 1080 at the highest settings. Tomb Raider only needed the AA turned down a bit. Those are at stock speeds on both the R7 260X and FX-6300 as well.
Once I turned up the clocks on both the R7 260X and FX-6300, things changed quite a bit. The 19% average increase of frames rates allowed me to run some games at higher quality settings and/or with a higher resolution. I was even able to run some older games in Eyefinity. Something of which, I was a bit surprised with. It also ran extremely quiet during all the tests, even at 100% loads.
I rather like the Sapphire Radeon R7 260X 2Gb. I did find the card being voltage locked a bit of a downer, though not a deal breaker. The whole time I was testing and using the card, I kept thinking how it would make a great budget HTPC/Steam Box graphics card. The Sapphire Radeon R7 260X 2Gb can be found for around $120 at Amazon, which is very economical and certainly deserves consideration.

GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs Radeon R7 260X Graphics cards Comparison
In this comparison between GeForce GTX 560 Ti and Radeon R7 260X you will find out which graphics card performs better in today’s games. Bear in mind that third-party versions may have more efficient cooling and higher clock speeds. This will increase cards’ performance, though not by much. In addition to raw power you should also take into account the dimensions. Thicker models simply will not fit into a small mini-ITX case. The resolution of your monitor also affects the choice, since 4K gameplay requires a more powerful GPU. And don’t overspend on the graphics card. Other parts of your build may also need to be upgraded, save some money for the CPU or power supply.
For some people GeForce GTX 560 Ti will be the best choice, for others Radeon R7 260X will be their preference. Study the comparison tables below and make your choice.

Page 1 ::>Video cards 15-02-2014 Page 1 Half a year ago, AMD released a rather successful model AMD Radeon HD 7790, which stirred up the market for budget-class video cards. Therefore, the appearance of an analogue of AMD Radeon HD 7790 in the new series of video cards AMD Volcanic Islands was quite predictable. They became the model AMD Radeon R7 260X. And, as always, AMD has provided manufacturers with great opportunities to optimize the parameters of the graphics adapter, its printed circuit board and cooling system. As a result, versions with 1 GB of memory and modified clock speeds have already begun to enter the market. One of them is video card HIS R7 260X iPower IceQ X 2 Turbo 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E DLDVI-D+DLDVI-I/DP/HDMI (HIS h360XQMT1GD) , which we want to introduce you to in this review. But first, let’s make one small digression. Like all models produced under the HIS brand, the new product has a very long name, so for ease of perception in the course of the article, instead of HIS R7 260X iPower IceQ X 2 Turbo 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E DLDVI-D+DLDVI-I/DP/ HDMI we will use HIS R7 260X iPower IceQ X 2 Turbo 1GB GDDR5 . Specification:
All prices for HIS+h360XQMT1GD Packaging and delivery The video card comes in a medium-sized package, designed in the usual colors of HIS. See the reverse side for a complete list of supported technologies and a list of connectors located on the graphics adapter’s interface panel. The most important features of the video card are highlighted in a separate column:
In the box with the test solution we also found:
This package can be called optimal and standard for a video card of this class. Note the presence of an adapter for connecting an analog monitor and the absence of an AMD CrossFireX bridge, which, if necessary, will have to be purchased separately. appearance To cool the model HIS R7 260X IPower ICEQ X 2 TURBO 1GB GDDR5 The manufacturer used its company cooler ICEQ x 2 , therefore, it is appropriate for many design. Indeed, a cooler of the same design was often found on different versions of graphics adapters of the previous generation — HIS Radeon HD 7xxx. However, we will talk about the cooling system a little later, but now let’s take a closer look at the dimensions of the video card. It is 218 mm long, 46 mm longer than the reference model. The height remained the same — 112 mm. It is worth noting that the increase in the dimensions of the novelty did not affect the convenience of placing it inside the system case. The HIS h360XQMT1GD graphics adapter traditionally covers only two slots for expansion cards. HIS R7 260X iPower IceQ X 2 Turbo 1GB GDDR5 provides the following set of interfaces:
It can be considered optimal because it covers a very wide range of video interfaces and allows you to connect different types of monitors. The following resolutions are supported:
PCB and components 2 Turbo 1GB GDDR5 looks like this: 6+1+1 for GPU, memory chips and PLL respectively. In the production of the considered video accelerator, only high-quality element base was used: solid capacitors and ferrite chokes in closed cases. The transistors of each phase are covered with metal casings from above for better cooling. All components that control the operation of the power converters are located on the back of the PCB. The NCP81022 chip acts as a PWM controller for the video core power subsystem. Unfortunately, detailed technical information on this chip remains closed to this day, so we cannot report on any specific features of it. We only note that it is used in the AMD Radeon R7 260X video card of the reference design, and is also often found on AMD Radeon HD 779 models.0. Phase drivers are IR3598 chips. The video memory power supply is based on the conventional NCP1587 controller. It lacks support for the I2C protocol, as well as the possibility of software regulation of the voltage supplied to the memory chips. In addition to the PCI Express x16 slot, the new items are powered through one additional 6-pin connector. HIS R7 260X iPower IceQ X 2 Turbo 1GB GDDR5 uses one connector to connect the corresponding bridge to implement AMD CrossFireX technology. This will allow you to increase the performance of the computer’s graphics subsystem by installing another similar video accelerator. The HIS h360XQMT1GD is based on the 28nm AMD Bonaire graphics chip. It uses 2080 million transistors placed on an area of 160 mm. sq. In our case, the GPU was manufactured in China on the 13th week of 2013. In terms of such parameters as the number of shader pipelines (896), rasterization units (16) and texturing (56), it completely coincides with what was used in the AMD Radeon HD 7790 video cards. However, there are also AMD Radeon R7 260X clock-optimized models on the market. The tested version of HIS R7 260X iPower IceQ X 2 Turbo 1GB GDDR5 belongs to these. In it, the speed of the graphics processor is increased to 1075 MHz. The increase is 7.5%. As for the effective clock frequency of the memory chips in the HIS h360XQMT1GD model, it is set at 6400 MHz. This is 400 MHz above the reference value for 1 GB versions of AMD Radeon R7 260X, but also 100 MHz below the «reference» value for 2 GB variants of AMD Radeon R7 260X. Data exchange is carried out via a 128-bit bus, while the throughput reaches 102.4 GB / s. Cooling system This cooling system does not provide for any other components in the form of separate radiators or metal plates, so heat is removed from the memory chips and power elements of the power subsystem due to the air flow created by the fans. Structurally, the cooler consists of three heat pipes with a diameter of 6 mm, on which a lot of aluminum fins are planted. To increase the efficiency of its work, the manufacturer used a copper heat-distributing plate. The cutting of the base can hardly be called ideal, since the grooves left by the cutter are clearly visible. But I am glad that the print is even and the thermal paste is distributed evenly. This means that there are no bulges on the plate, and the entire area of the GPU is in contact with the cooler. The active part of the cooling system includes 2 Apistek GA81B2U fans with a diameter of 75 mm, which have a rather high power — 4.56 W. And now let’s evaluate the efficiency of the cooler in practice. To monitor the performance of the video card, the MSI Afterburner utility was used. In automatic mode, under continuous maximum load, the temperature of the graphics core did not exceed 67°C, which is a good result for a product of this level. According to the built-in tachometer, the fans were running at about 1750 rpm. In the maximum fan speed mode (approximately 3800 rpm according to the built-in tachometer), the GPU temperature dropped to 55°C. The generated noise stood out noticeably against the general background and can hardly be called comfortable. However, it should be borne in mind that this fan speed was set intentionally and in real operating conditions it is unlikely. In the absence of load, the frequencies of the graphics core and memory were automatically lowered, which led to their lower power consumption and heat dissipation. The fans in this mode rotated at a speed of almost 1300 rpm according to the built-in tachometer. At the same time, there was practically no noise, and the temperature of the GPU did not exceed 37 ° C. Testing Review of the ASUS Radeon R7 260X video card: cold in any weather About a year and a half has passed since the introduction of AMD Rx graphics chips and the Radeon R7 260X GPU in particular. ContentsThe adapter comes standard. The card is packed in a branded box along with a DVI to D-Sub adapter, a CrossFire bridge, a quick start guide and a CD with drivers and additional software. In general, everything you need for installation and connection is available. DesignASUS R7 260X looks serious and reliable. It is 22 cm long and the PCB is just over 17 cm long. The card has a two-slot design of the cooling system, the radiator of which protrudes significantly from the back of the card. There is also a 6-pin power connector. The output panel has a small heat dissipation grille and connectors: DisplayPort, HDMI, DVI-D and DVI-I. The board is made of black textolite with dense placement of elements. Interestingly, it almost completely repeats the younger model, the R7 260, with only a small set of differences. Centered on the 160mm 2 Bonaire XTX processor, manufactured in 28nm. The chip is factory overclocked, so it operates at a base frequency of 1075 MHz. In addition, the die contains 896 stream processors. The graphics card has a 4-phase power subsystem, which is controlled by the Digi+ ASP 1106 chip. And another phase is installed near the memory chips. The manufacturer used high quality Super Alloy Power components. The processor is surrounded by four Elpida W4032BABG-50-F chips combined in 2 GB of video memory. Its effective frequency is 5000 MHz. Cooling and overclocking The graphics adapter uses a standard cooling system found on low cost cards from the manufacturer. The radiator is made of aluminum in the form of a solid module. Two 70 mm FIRSTD FD7010h22S coolers blow it. The cooling system performed well. For testing, we used an open stand, and the room temperature was 25°C. In idle mode, the chip heats up to 32-33°C, while both coolers operate at a speed of about 1055 rpm. In this mode, the fans are only audible if you come close to the video card. The FurMark 1.15.2.2 GPU Benchmark was able to raise the temperature of the cold card to 64°C, and the temperature of the warmed up GPU after passing the test increased to only 70°C. At the same time, the card still worked quietly. Using the ASUS GPU Tweak utility, you can increase the core frequency to 1200 MHz, and the memory frequency to 1600 MHz. In this mode, the stress test managed to warm up the card to 87°, and the speed of the coolers reached 3600 rpm. However, the noise level was relatively low, in a closed case the card will hardly be heard. TestsTest bench configuration:
Tested using 3DMark 11, 3DMark 13, and Heaven Benchmark 4.0 synthetic benchmarks, as well as Dying Light, Mortal Kombat X, and Dragon Age: Inquisition. Results of synthetic tests: In all games, maximum settings with good optimization were set — reduced the quality of shadows and lighting, as well as the distance of the observation, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possibly possible, where the distance is possibly possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possible, where the distance is possibly possible, where the distance of . Dying Light averages around 33 fps. For all the time of gaming testing, in the most difficult scenes, fps sank to 20, or even up to 13 frames. But after reducing the quality of graphics and additional optimization, the frequency was a comfortable 50 fps. In MK10 the situation was somewhat better. At maximum graphics settings without optimization, the video card easily gives out an average value of 51 fps without noticeable frequency drops. Dragon Age, as the most demanding of the three games presented, shows an average of 20.5 fps with frequent drops in the frequency of up to 11 frames. Lowering the settings to high does not improve fps much, this card is only able to provide high frequency on «Normal» settings. Let me remind you that ASUS R7 260X OC is factory overclocked, so overclocking a card with a standard cooling system will not bring a noticeable increase in fps in games. Impressions The ASUS Radeon R7 260X is an excellent mid-range graphics card with a high-quality and very quiet cooling system and a good level of performance right out of the box. FEATURES Relatively compact Excellent implementation of the cooling system Quiet fans at low and medium-speeds 2 GB GDDR5-memory Available connectors Factory acceleration Specifications

GDDR memory versions 
In just a few weeks, she topped the sales ratings in stores, because the combination of cost and features of this graphics adapter was almost the best in its price category. 
By the way, it is under this name that you will most likely meet it in the price lists of computer stores.

At the bottom, there are logos indicating the amount and type of video memory used (1 GB GDDR5), internal interface specification (PCI Express 3.0 x16) and support for Ultra HD 4K resolution. And at the top, you should highlight the Turbo logo, which indicates the factory optimization of the clock frequencies of the graphics processor and video memory chips. 
Considering that the power consumption of the AMD Radeon R7 260X is declared at 115 W, this will be quite enough. Note that disconnecting the PCIe connector is quite convenient: the casing or radiator of the cooling system does not interfere with this process in any way. 
We have already discussed this point in more detail during testing of the GIGABYTE GV-R726XWF2-2GD model, so now we will just limit ourselves to a brief summary: the 2 GB version of the AMD Radeon R7 260X is the same AMD Radeon HD 7790, but with slightly increased core and memory frequencies. But the «reference» sample of the AMD Radeon R7 260X graphics adapter with 1 GB of memory completely repeats the reference frequency formula of the AMD Radeon HD 779 model0: 1000 MHz for GPU and 6000 MHz for memory chips. 
The manufacturer of the chips themselves is ELPIDA, while the 2 GB versions of AMD Radeon R7 260X of the reference design use SK Hynix chips. We specifically describe all these features in more detail so that you understand that the difference between the 1 and 2 GB versions of the AMD Radeon R7 260X is not only in the amount of video memory. 
The heat sink fins are attached to the heat pipes by soldering, which should positively affect the efficiency and durability of the cooling system. 
At the same time, a low noise level was created, which was quite comfortable for a long pastime at the computer. 
During this time, ASUS has managed to release not one, but two video cards based on this processor. The second generation came to my review, a graphics adapter of the middle price segment, without DirectCU II, but with an updated design of the cooling system and factory overclocking. 
4 GHz, 6 MB cache 
Fps measurements were carried out using Fraps. 
At the same time, the processor shows average operating temperatures, which do not rise too much when overclocked by a proprietary utility. I note that the card performed well both in synthetic tests and in the latest games.
