'm confused. It seems to be a consensus that just about any newer GPU card is better than mine since technology changes so quickly. So I did 2 things, I moved up from R5 to R7 and at newer models. And yet when I compare the specs of my R5 (5-year old card)it seems to be better than this newer and higher R7 card.
Mine:
MSI R5770 Hawk (ATI Radeon HD 5770)
Core/Memory : 875MHz Core / 1GB GDDR5 4800MHz
Interface: PCI Express x16 2.1
Memory Size(MB): 1024
Memory Interface: 128bit
Card Dimension(mm): 208 x 111 x 35
Compared to:
Diamond Boost AMD R7 240 PCIE GDDR5 1GB Memory Low Profile Graphics Video Card
Memory: 1GB GDDR5 ------- The same as mine
Memory Interface: 128-bit ------- The same as mine
Bus Interface: PCI Express 3.0 x16 ------ Irrelevant to me because of my MB uses 2.0 (though I will add a 3. card)
Core Clock: 780 MHz (780 MHz with Diamond Boost) ------- Seems to be lower than mine
Memory Clock: 1150 MHz x 2 (2300 MHz) -------- Lower than mine
Can anyone please explain how this card could be better than my older and lower card
I've seen R7 cards at twice the price of the above card but the specs don't seem to differ much.
Thank you
