AMD R7 260X Review

After a delayed release from late 2012 to March 2013, the game received much anticipation and hype. Tomb Raider received much acclaim from critics, who praised the graphics, the gameplay and Camilla Luddington’s performance as Lara with many critics agreeing that the game is a solid and much needed reboot of the franchise. Much criticism went to the addition of the multiplayer which many felt was unnecessary. Tomb Raider went on to sell one million copies in forty-eight hours of its release, and has sold 3.4 million copies worldwide so far.

A demanding game at these high settings, although the R7 260X maintains a >25 frame rate most of the time, dropping below only in a couple of instances.

  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.
