Hi.
I gave my PC to the shop for maintenance and before that I took a screenshot of my specs. My VGA was AMD Radeon HD 7900 Series of 6GB...
and Now when I got it back, I check the details it says AMD Radeon R9 200 Series 6GB... I feel the graphics difference as well..
Please can anyone clarify this difference for me? Is this the same VGA I had or the guy cheated on me?

Its a rebrand, same chip, different bios. You cant feel a difference.

Basically... some of the R9 cards have the display connections changed (or so I've seen reported), but that's about the only difference. The guy who worked on your PC probably just updated the drivers/bios, cleaned up some processes, and so on. If you're noticing any "graphical differences," most likely it's either psychological, or the possibility that new drivers made that much of a difference. And yes, drivers can make a big difference at times, especially for older machines. I run plenty of old hardware, so I do have some experience with that.
