Radeon R7 260X vs GeForce GTX 645 specs and performance

According to the hardwareDB Benchmark, the Radeon R7 260X GPU is faster than the GeForce GTX 645 in gaming.

Furthermore, the spec sheet for both these GPUs show that the Radeon R7 260X has significantly more memory with 2 GiB of memory compared to 1 GiB. Memory size doesn't directly affect performance, but too little memory will certainly degrade gaming performance.

In addition, the GeForce GTX 645 has a significantly lower TDP at 64 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 GeForce GTX 645.
