AMD has paired 1,024 MB GDDR5 memory with the Radeon R7 M260X, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface.

It features 384 shading units, 24 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. The Opal graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 77 mm² and 950 million transistors. Even though it supports DirectX 12, the feature level is only 11_1, which can be problematic with newer DirectX 12 titles.

Built on the 28 nm process, and based on the Opal graphics processor, in its Opal PRO variant, the chip supports DirectX 12.

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. 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 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. 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. Before we begin, this review is a little shorter and less extensive opposed to what you are used to from us. Today we'll review the AMD Radeon R7-260, a budget brother of the 260X.
