Radeon R7 260X vs HD benchmarks

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

In our comparison, 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 Radeon R7 260X also has a slightly higher boost clock speed: the maximum frequency the chip can reach if power delivery and thermals allow.

In addition, the HD has a significantly lower TDP at 6 W when compared to the Radeon R7 260X at 115 W. TDP (Thermal Design Power) measures total heat output from the chip.

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