AMD R7 260X Review

Dirt Showdown is the latest title in the franchise from Codemasters, based around the famous Colin McRae racing game series, although it no longer uses his name, since he passed away in 2007.

Today we test the hardware at 1920×1080 with the Ultra profile and 8 x MSAA.

Solid performance all round, although the Sparkle GTX650ti is running a little out of steam at these settings, close to the borderline for smooth frame rates.

  1. Well I think partner cards will be better not difficult looking at this mind you.

    is this the only card with programmable audio today? why?

  2. So the only card with the new audio features is a budget model? what? The 270x is basically the same performance as a HD7870 Tahiti LE and 280X is a 7970ghz ed?

    Anyone else wondering if AMD have anything new at all to release? 290x? come on. its going to be £600, no one can afford that!

  3. will you also review the r7 250? I’m about to get an HD 7750 then the r7 250 came along. Now I don’t know which one should i get. From the initial opinions i have read, the 7750 should be faster than the r7 250 but the latter is newer.
