I'm looking to buy a new graphics card this Black Friday/Cyber Monday for my budget build. Below are the specs for my computer (already built).
AMD FX-6300 (stock for now)
Rosewill 500 Watt PSU
8GBs DDR3 Ram 1600mhz
Right now the R7 260X is going for $110~ and the R7 265 is about $120~. I know with DirextX 11 the R7 265 is the clear winner, but its a older GCN chip that supports 11.2 whereas the 260X is a newer GCN chip and supports DirectX 12.0
My computer is designed for light 720P/1080P gaming and HTPC. Depending on sales, will DirectX 12 make a difference between the 2? I want to try to future proof the GPU as much as possible. Anyone know if TrueAudio on the 260X has been implemented in any games? Please no other GPU considerations, I'm set on one of these 2 GPUs.
