SAPPHIRE Technology ha annunciato di recente la video card Radeon R7 260X, una soluzione che, analogamente ai modelli più costosi catalogati nell'ambito della serie R9, è basata sulla versione più recente dell'architettura GCN (Graphics Core Next) di AMD.
In accordo al produttore, la Radeon R7 260X è basata su una gpu il cui core grafico lavora a 1150MHz, mentre il frame buffer, realizzato con 2GB di RAM G-DDR5, è caratterizzato da una frequenza di clock pari a 1650MHz (o 6.6GHz in termini di velocità effettiva).
La Radeon R7 260X di Sapphire supporta, tra le altre, le tecnologie DirectX 11.2, AMD CrossFire, AMD PowerTune, AMD ZeroCore, AMD Powerplay Power, AMD App Acceleration e AMD TrueAudio. Quest'ultima, implementata con l'ausilio di un processore audio integrato nella gpu, assicura il pieno supporto nell'ambito del surround gaming.
Il kit di connettori di uscita della Radeon R7 260X di Sapphire (il prodotto è peraltro già sul mercato) include una porta dual-link DVI-I, una porta dual-link DVI-D, una porta Displayport 1.2 e una HDMI 1.4a: queste ultime due, sottolinea Sapphire, possono essere utilizzate per illuminare anche i display Ultra HD 4K.

Continuing the roll-out of the exciting new generation of graphics cards based on the latest GCN (graphics core next) architectures from AMD, SAPPHIRE Technology is now delivering the first members of the R7-Series, bringing many of the features of the R9-Series to users on a more limited budget.
The new R7 260X from SAPPHIRE has the budget gamer firmly in its sights as well as having many advanced features for the home or professional user. With 2GB of the latest GDDR5 memory clocked at 1650MHz (6.6GHz effective), 896 stream processors and core clocks of 1150MHz this card is no slouch. Support for DirectX 11.2 means the architecture is built to support the latest applications and to play even the very latest games at HD resolutions and above. Performance can be further enhanced by using multiple cards in AMD CrossFire on a suitably enabled mainboard.
The SAPPHIRE R7 260X features the exciting new TrueAudio from AMD, first introduced in the flagship R9 290X model. AMD TrueAudio technology brings a heightened level of audio immersion, surrounding gamers with realistic audio environments whether it is through stereo headsets or speakers. A dedicated audio processor in the GPU enables the SAPPHIRE R7 260X graphics card to deliver a richer and deeply immersive soundscape, including true to life echoes, convolution reverbs and incredibly realistic surround sound environments.
Display can also be extremely immersive, with support for three monitors in AMD Eyefinity without the need for additional active adapters. Output configuration includes Dual-link DVI-I (with VGA adapter bundled), Dual link DVI-D, Displayport 1.2 and HDMI. The HDMI 1.4a interface supports Stereoscopic 3D and both the HDMI and Displayport outputs can support the latest 4K Ultra HD displays.
The SAPPHIRE R7 260X delivers all the features of the AMD GCN architecture, including App Acceleration, AMD Image quality enhancement technology, AMD Powerplay Power management technology, AMD PowerTune technology with Boost and AMD ZeroCore Power technology.
The SAPPHIRE R7 260X is on sale now from SAPPHIRE's etail and retail partners.
