R7 260X worth it?

sackcreator54 · Oct 21, 2013

Hello, I am going to (soon) get a new graphics card (Currently have a Radeon HD 6670 and a Radeon HD 6550D Crossfired), and i was wondering if this card is the best for my budget.

My budget is no more than $150 (i know, it's small for graphics), but is this the best I can get?
(I prefer newegg)

Thanks.

Get a GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB card. It's a lot better and many are around the $150 price point. Just don't get a 1GB card.

i'd go 7850.

7850 beats the 260x and 650ti in most benches.

In reality though, the 7850 or 650ti boost are better than the 260x. lol.

getochkn :

I definately agree the 7850 is better, but which one is best? (keep in mind my budget is ANYTHING UNDER $150.

I agree that the 7850 is faster if you're going to overclock, but the ones you can afford are the 1GB version, which won't last long at all in newer games. the 650 Ti boost 2GB is under $150 and it will last you longer, even though it's a bit slower.
EDIT: Get this, I just saw this and the Twin Frozr cooler is great for overclocking.

For me its worth buying 260x
1) - AMD hype > Mantle (so AMD > Nvidia)
2) - R7 > hd7k even if its not worth it price/performance. I'm going for GCN1.1, 2gb and newer Bios
