AMD Radeon R7 260 Pictured, Features Curacao PRO GPU

[Youbetternot]

Additionally to Radeon R9 290X there is pictures of the R7 260, what a sexy beast!

 

The R9 260 series will be using Curacao GPUs. The R9 260 will use Curacao PRO and R9 260X will most likely use Curacao XT. Curacao is Pitcairn replacement. From the pictures you can notice a very unique blower type cooling solution. The card will require one 6-pin power connector. Detailed specs remain unknown.

I'd tap that

So this is the replacement for the 7800 GPU?

[YellowDragon]

I love the spiral red twist on the top of the GPU, makes me excited to see the Hawaii XT core cards.

[TheSLSAMG]

Nice, but what does this replace? 7870?

[miyabwah]

Only one PCI-E connector. mmmmm.

I'd insert that into my PCI-E slot.

[Mo5]

Nice, but what does this replace? 7870?

The 78x0 series were Pitcairn so I'd assume so

Something in the 7800s series

[DirkaFat]

Something in the 7800s series

I thought the 7800 series was going to be replaced by Tahiti?

I know the AMD Radeon R9 280X to replace HD 7970, I am going to guess something in the 7800s series or maybe just something in between the 7870 and the 7950

[nightlitezzz]

This will replace the 7790 if this is correct.

 

Edit: It's the 260, not 260X. I thought it was 260X. It will probably be in between the 7790 and 7770?

[Mo5]

This will replace the 7790 if this is correct.

It also says that it has a Bonaire XTX GPU (R7 260X) and here it's stated that it has a Curacao GPU (found in 270 and 270X) which replaces 78x0 series. Contradictions

[Guest GRRigger]

They could make simpler shround lol.

[DirkaFat]

Looks like a heart

[Andrew48]

So it basicaly is a HD7850?

It's so funny how no one gets the new naming scheme (including me) lol

[Common_Courtesy]

Oh god the bloody naming scheme. Anyway finally amd comes up with a cooler design that actually looks quite nice.

[squirrl]

Am I the only person who thinks this looks horrible?

The reference 6870 looks much better.

[Mooshi]

I just want something to replace this GTX 560 Ti with only 1GB of vram with.

I stare at my monitor when I game or do arts, not my graphics card.

[mymouthandi]

Can't say I am a fan of the shroud (sorry for the pun there). It doesn't look good to me at all.

Tahiti is already being used.

[DirkaFat]

Tahiti is already being used.

And rumors say it will be reused

[Godlygamer23]

And rumors say it will be reused

So Tahiti isn't replacing anything as it's already being used.

[DirkaFat]

So Tahiti isn't replacing anything as it's already being used.

It's replacing pitcairn's family line.

 

 

Replacing is such a vague word...
