Radeon R7 260X vs Radeon RX Vega 11 specs and performance

For gaming, the Radeon RX Vega 11 graphics card is better than the Radeon R7 260X in our tests.

Our database shows that the Radeon R7 260X has a significantly higher core clock speed. The core clock speed (or base speed) is the frequency at which the GPU core runs. This metric makes sense when comparing GPUs of a similar architecture or generation. Despite this, the Radeon RX Vega 11 has a slightly higher boost clock speed. The boost clock speed is the frequency that the GPU core can reach if the temperature is low enough. The allows for higher performance in certain scenarios.

In addition, the Radeon RX Vega 11 has a significantly lower TDP at 15 W when compared to the Radeon R7 260X at 115 W. Heat output doesn't match power consumption directly but, it's a good estimate.

According to the results of the hardwareDB benchmark utility, the Radeon RX Vega 11 is faster than the Radeon R7 260X.
