Hello. I asked this before and got mixed results. I'm building a new PC and I've narrowed it down to the Radeon R7 260X, but I'm not sure what brand to get. Asus vs. MSI vs. Sapphire
The differences I found were the core clock speed was:
Asus at 1188, MSI at 1175 & Sapphire at 1150 MHZ. (I don't know what that means)
The Memory speed was also different:
Asus at 7000, Sapphire at 6600 & MSI at 6500 MHZ. (I don't know what that means ether)
Price for the three: Asus at $140, Sapphire at $145 & MSI at $146
Asus came out ontop 3 times times and has two fans. Maybe this is the best?
Asus also says PCI Express 3.0 x16 vs PCI Express 3.0 of the other two. (I know what this means, but don't know if its a good thing or bad)
I am running a AMD FX-8350 for the CPU, Corsair 750W for the PSU, APEVIA X-Hermes for the Case and MSI 970A-G46 for the Motherboard.
What GPU would:
1) Fit my build
2) Crossfire
3) 3 Monitor support
4) Best for Gaming like COD and Minecraft
5) Best for keeping Cool
6) Best for Mining
7) Quiet but powerful
I'm thinking ASUS but not sure. Thanks for your help.
