sooo i came accros these two cards:
r7 260 specs:http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-775.shtml
hd 7850 specs:http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-755.shtml
the r7 260x has a higher memory clock(6000) than the hd 7850(4000)
but r7 260x memory inference(128) is lower than the hd 7850(256) which one should i get?
(note i will be doing oc with theese cards)
 
Something to keep in mind is that the HD 7850 is an older chip - while I think it might support DirectX 12, it's definitely old. I think the 7850 was rebranded with minor improvements as the R7 265 - see if you can find the R7 265 for a good price. If not, while the 7850 might sometimes do better, you might also want to stick with the newer model.
 


soo what your trying to say is the r7 260x is better?
 


The two cards are close. It depends on the system, and the games you are going to play.

What I'm saying is that the HD 7850 is older, and the 260X might last longer. It'll probably perform about the same in gaming, too. Instead of an HD 7850, look at an R7 265.
 

ok thx
