This is a full review and benchmark of the Gigabyte R7-360 OC Edition. BTW the benchmarks are 1080p and video is 4K.

 

Overall this card is aesthetically pleasing and there are no problems with the cooling apart from the noise.

Core Clock: 1200MHz

Memory: 2gb GDDR5 6500MHz

Memory Bus: 128 bit

Power: 6 pin and 500W PSU

Die size: 28nm

Shading Units: 768

Chip Name: Tobago

 

Test Rig

CPU: I5 3570k 4.8GHZ OC (Water Cooled)
GPU: Gigabyte R7-360 Overclocked Edition
MOBO: Z77 Fatal1ty Performance
SSD: Samsung 850 evo 500gb + OCZ Vertex 4 60gb
PSU: Coolermaster GX 750W Bronze
Capture Card: Elgato HD60

 

Benchmarks: 1080p

Combined Score: 1470

Firestrike Overclocked

Score: 3913

Graphics Score: 4349

Physics Score: 8773

Combined Score: 1516

 

Overclocking

This card already comes with an overclock of 1200Mhz from 1050MHz but doesn't go much above that in MSI AB. It wouldnt allow voltage increase and only let me set the power target to 110%, this gave me an OC of +80 on the core and +30 on the memory. This inst a big issue as most other 360's have much lower clock speeds. 

 

Fan Noise

The fan noise is noticeably loud and hits 72dB under full load but isn't to bad on idle and is only 62dB.

 

Temps

Overall the temps are very good for this small cooler, at idle it's 36°C and when gaming stays around 60°C. During testing it hit a maximum of 62°C.

 

Conclusion

Pros

Good for competitive games at 1080p, plays almost any game at 1080p, small form factor, nice cooler, good factory OC, low clock speeds on idle. 

Cons

Loud fan, average performance compared to 750ti and 260x, 500W minimum PSU, V-ram easily filled, bad overclocker.

The video is actually kind of fuzzy in 4K. But hey, just so you know that someone actually watched it in 4K, not on a 1080p monitor (:

Thanks for the feedback, next time I will bring the camera closer instead of zooming.

Can you post a summary of the review to OP...

Yeah, no problem, I am new to this forum and don't know how to edit the original post. I will try to work it out.

There's an edit link/button at the bottom of the post.

 

Also from the title, I thought you benched the 360's performance in 4K...

Ok, I am now making it into a full review, I also state in the first line benchmarks are in 1080p and video is in 4k. Is this okay now?

Here it costs the same as a vanilla 750. Would you say this is a better deal?

Is it fair to call it a bad overclocker just because it already has a massive overclock out of the factory? In reality you got a 230 Mhz overclock over the base, which is really good traditionally.

The R7 360 and R7 260X are not the same. The R7 360 has 768 Stream Processors and the R7 260X has 896.

Well, out of the box it has an epic overclock compared to the other 360's but in terms of squeezing much more performance there isn't much head room. I guess I should have taken the out of box overclock into consideration.

This is the first time I have used the camera for a review, next time I will bring the camera closer as it looses quality when zoomed in. Thanks for the feedback. Plus I only have a 1080p monitor so I can't check it in 4k.
