Sapphire Radeon R7 260X vs GeForce GTX 560

[Nikos Arfaras]

As the title says i got to choose between these 2 cards, i have them both (i dont want to buy another one) and i want to choose the one with better performance for gaming.
Both have the same rate on this comparisson site:
http://gpuboss.com/gpus/Sapphire-Radeon-R7-260X-vs-GeForce-GTX-560
that makes it harder to choose.
Again i just want from these 2 to choose the better performing GPU.

Thanks for your comments in advance.

R7 260X without a doubt. It's on par with a 750Ti and has a more modern architecture supporting more DX11 and DX12 features. It's more powerful and consumes less energy.

I had the same conversation with a friend, I know the Raden is more powerfull (dont really care about energy usage) but the Geforce has +50% more memory bus , some ppl say that the new GPUs dont need the memory bus no more.
cant really decide.

The R7 260X has slightly lower memory bandwidth (104 GB/s vs 128 GB/s of the GTX 560), however it has better performance anyway because of its shaders, higher speed and an architecture that is geared towards both DX11 and DX12.

Memory bandwidth is important, but sometimes other things make up for it.

memory specs are important for resolutions more than 1080p just to know and yes maxwell cards like the gtx 960 dont need much memory bus it has 128bit
