MSI R7 260? Worthy?
Hello.

Well, I decided to buy XFX R7 250 on newegg since it was cheap and came with a free xfx mousepad, and is kind of cool looking... Anyway, I have seen this R7 260 (which is obviously better) for 86.39$ (have rebate of 20$ too, so it would be 66.39$) which is too cheap, and makes it suspicious.
(Link here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I5HIVTM/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=)

And well, I see few reviews (3x 5*) and in other website similar things too. I want to know what should I do in this case, is it worth to get it? is it suspicious enough to think that it may be broken or something? lol

At that price, get the 260. It is a better performer and a good card (MSI). make sure you send in the rebate.


Thanks for helping ^^. Since my system will be made from 0 (part by part brand new), I guess I won't have driver issues with them.

I would just get the cheapest one. The difference between the two are minimal.

What would be a better deal. (Considering life span of card and temps, tdp).

3.63$ difference

XFX Core one or MSI 260 one? (XFX one comes with mousepad and game gift, msi one from amazon doesn't)
