Today I got my R7 260x which I had ordered a few days ago. I thought that it must be the usual R7 260X , but when I looked at the back side of it, I found that it's actually the 'iCafe' edition.

Now, my question is what is the difference between the two editions? I looked on Game-Debate
and it's saying that R7 260x icafe supports GCN 1.0 while R7 260x supports GCN 1.1
Shouldn't both support the same GCN when icafe is just a special edition?
Also it's showing different texture rates for both cards. Can anybody please clarify if the data on Game-Debate is correct, and what is the difference between the two cards?

Hmm what i read around the web iCafe edition might be a tad bit slower as compared to the usual R7 260X. Bonaire XT is used in HD 7790 and Bonaire XTX is a faster iteration of that. Not that fast but you know put in to experience 3-5 or 7 fps increase. What are you specs? If you didn't order that i suggest RMA it or just use it if it takes too long for original to arrive.
