Radeon HD 7790 2GB vs Radeon R7 260x 2GB ... which is better?

[GameGuru]

They are both almost the same price and they are within 24 points of each other in Passmark (HD getting 3014 and R7 getting 2990) so which would I be better off getting? What is the difference between the two?

The 260X is the 7790 with TrueAudio enabled and higher frequency ram...

They are the exact same GPU cores. 260x is just a renamed 7790 with different and most likely slightly better VRAM.

If the prices are exactly the same, go with the 260x.

That is what I was wondering, thanks all!
