14 DAY TRIAL // A new video board has been released by Sapphire, one of AMD's many video card original equipment manufacturers.
Previously, Sapphire launched only R9-Series boards from AMD's latest lineup.
Now, though, the first R7-Series adapter is finally making an appearance.
Called R7 260X, it is made for gamers without huge monetary budgets, but still has 2 GB of GDDR5 VRAM (6.6 GHz clock) and a nice GPU with 896 stream processors and 1150 MHz clock.
CrossFireX is, of course, supported, as is DirectX 11.2 technology and AMD TrueAudio, which increases audio immersion during games.
There's an actual audio processor in the GPU that creates a soundscape, so to speak, that makes you feel as though you're in the game, in your character's place.
Sapphire's R7 260X has three video ports (Dual link DVI-D, DisplayPort 1.2 and HDMI) and probably a price of around $150 / €150.
