HD 4000 vs Radeon R7 260X benchmarks

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon R7 260X GPU is faster than the HD 4000 in gaming.

The Radeon R7 260X has a significantly higher core clock speed. This is the frequency at which the graphics core is running at. While not necessarily an indicator of overall performance, this metric can be useful when comparing two GPUs based on the same architecture.

In addition, the HD 4000 has a significantly lower TDP at 45 W when compared to the Radeon R7 260X at 115 W. This is not a measure of performance, but rather the amount of heat generated by the chip when running at its highest speed.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon R7 260X is faster than the HD 4000.
