AMD Radeon R7 M260X Benchmark and Specs

AMD Radeon R7 M260X

The Radeon R7 M260X is an AMD GPU that was released in 2015 December. This GPU is bad at gaming with a score of 176 points in our PC benchmark.

The Radeon R7 M260X has 4 GiB of GDDR5 memory, with a total memory bandwidth of 62 GB/s. The memory bus has a width of 128 bits. More memory is beneficial when gaming at high resolutions as the memory needs to store the frame buffer and all the game textures. If you run out of memory, you will experience poor performance as the GPU needs to swap data in and out of the memory as it is used.

In terms of clock speed, the Radeon R7 M260X GPU core runs at a frequency of 620 MHz and if power and temperature permits, it can boost up to 715 MHz. A clock speed is the frequency at which the GPU updates. A higher speed means more processing can happen per cycle. This is useful only when comparing cards of the same generation, as other architectures may process more or less per clock.

As for rendering API support, the Radeon R7 M260X supports up to DirectX 11.2. In addition, in cross-platform titles, OpenGL 4.3 features are supported. Newer APIs are usually more efficient, allowing for better performance in games and better graphical effects.
