So AMD announced the release of another card,but it unlike the difference between the 270 and the 270x the R7 260 will be cut down version of the 260x with just 1gb and reduced stream processors down to 768 SP's.

 

 

 

Looking quickly at the specs, whereas R7 260X is a fully enabled Bonaire part, R7 260 will be a cut down version of Bonaire, making it the first time AMD has shipped Bonaire in a less than full configuration.
This is one of the few cases where AMD will be outright replacing a GCN 1.0 part with a GCN 1.1 part, with 260 bringing with it TrueAudio and power management functionality that the Cape Verde based 7770 did not feature.

Not exactly excited for the card but I'd like to see Linus rant about this.

I guess the only thing that would be good about is the True Audio tech.

You could also just grab a cheap 7790.

Why would he rant about it if we know that its actually cut down version of the 260x and thats why its cheaper,not like the the 270 just being downclocked.
