The Sapphire R7 260x 2GB OC Edition Graphics Card

This is not a question, but rather it is an informative discussion.

So I have been gaming with this card since last summer and I tell you it does not disappoint guys.

I can handle Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeros on High settings, Dying Light High Settings, Tomb Raider on Ultimate Settings(But I prefer Ultra Settings), and you get the Idea.

My Specs:

2X4GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHZ CAS 9 RAM

Intel Core I3-4130 @ 3.4 GHZ

Sapphire R7 260x 2GB OC Edition GPU

1TB WD Caviar Blue 7200 rpm 64 mb cache



If you need a good bang for your buck this R7 260x is a great entry level card that can handle games pretty well :).

If you want to play it safe though and get extra frames the 265-270 is a pretty safe choice as well :D
 


Yep, these days even the "low" gaming hardware is really good. I am looking at some $100-120 cards that will out-power a $300 card from just a few years ago. Crazy how good stuff is now for how cheap.

Used to be you could not find a computer for under $2,000 even for basic use, now you can get a very usable gaming system for about $500-600 never mind those $200-300 basic systems.
