Just bough this thing wondering if it's better than my last card?

Hi i just bought an Asus VGA PCIe ATI R7260X-DC2OC-2GD5
and i used to have an Asus HD 7750 1GD5

Is this a good upgrade? Thanks!

yes, it will be faster and it has double the vram.

Both cards are similar, but the new on you got will have a slight performance edge. Here is a comparison of the two different cards for a side-by-side look: http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R7-260X-vs-Radeon-HD-7750

that's the wrong card 😛

This is the new card http://www.asus.com/be-nl/Graphics_Cards/R7260XDC2OC2GD5/overview/

This is the old card https://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/HD77501GD5/gallery

Yeah, it's close, though. And I think the GPU boss comparison will still be helpful. Nonetheless, you're right that it's not exactly the same.

SO it's a shitty upgrade?

well, you will get more performance with that newer card, and it will run 3 monitors much better if you have 3, and it can handle higher resolutions better.

How much better a preformance are we talking about? like 1 fps in games or...

 

[Danbuscus25]

eh, depending on the game, more like 15-40 more fps.

I think for a similar price, you could get a slightly better card with the GTX 750 ti. It's also really low power. You'll be able to play anything with that card so long as you keep down power-hungry settings. Take a look: http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Radeon-R7-260X-vs-GeForce-GTX-750-Ti

As for the question, "How many fps more will I get with this card?" I can't really answer that, and no one can answer it across the board. It depends on too many things. All you can really do is look at performance graphs to tell you the comparative advantages. The only time you can really answer how many more fps you'll get with a certain card is when you run the same exact scene on each card, using the same settings, running on the same system. Luckily that's exactly what benchmarks do. Look at some. All said and done, though, you're looking at a card that's about 10% to 15% faster.
