AMD R7 260X Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell October 8, 2013 Featured Tech Reviews, Graphics

Sleeping Dogs started development as an original title, but was announced in 2009 as True Crime: Hong Kong, the third installment and a reboot of the True Crime series.As a result of the game’s high development budget and delays, it was canceled by Activision Blizzard in 2011. Six months later, it was announced that Square Enix had picked up the publishing rights to the game, but the game was renamed Sleeping Dogs in 2012 since Square Enix did not purchase the True Crime name rights.

This game is still a system killer at these maximised settings. We test at 1920×1080.

This engine is extremely demanding and all cards would need image quality settings reduced to get perfectly playable frame rates. That said, the R7 260X manages to slightly outperform the HD7790 from the last generation.

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!

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.
