MSI Launches Radeon R7 260 1GD5 OC Card : Read more

I could get a R9 270X for $200... and not a budget one either. A nice one, with a fancy shmancy cooler on it. Hopefully "around $200 USB" is actually "$140".

The regular 260x goes for $140, this needs to be less. $200? Good lord that's way too high lol

 

[cklaubur]

An MSI R7 260X is available for $160, so I don't see this card (lower performance than the 260X) starting at $200.

I guess performance isnt this guy's middle name.

I guess I'm missing something...a 4k video card with HDMI 1.4a? I guess it can do 4k resolution but the fps would have to be 30...not a good 4k gaming card at all. HDMI 2.0 will have to be the specification to hit 60fps at 4k resolution.

I don't see why this has to be pure PR. First off, the OC area is worded terribly. A card will in all likelihood not reach even 1200. 2nd, this card will have issues streaming 4k, much less playing at 60fps. 3rd the "This fan can be set to run at different speeds" part is just an everyday fan curve. Entire thing is like paid PR to overblow the card to a poor non-techie consumer. I know you guys just report it, but add a little common sense eh?

This is MSI, where is the gamer red and black? What is this blue non-sense.Also I doubt you will be able to buy any AMD GPU right now for MSRP.

The r9 270x and below are all within $10 of MSRP.

I guess some 4K remakes of old platformers would be nice :lol:

Yeah, thought the same thing.

 

[boytitan2]

Did I really just see a article copied word for word with marketing talk and 200 bucks for a 260...I honestly don't know what to say.

Better-off grabbing R9 270x than this shit.
