Radeon R7 240 vs Radeon R7 M260X benchmarks

In our benchmarks, the Radeon R7 M260X beats the Radeon R7 240 in gaming performance.

Our database shows that the Radeon R7 240 has a slightly 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 Radeon R7 240 also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

As stated by the manufacturer, the Radeon R7 M260X has significantly more memory with 4 GiB of memory compared to 2 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon R7 M260X is faster than the Radeon R7 240.
