Question 1

Hi There, Im looking for a R7 360 and I coudn't decide which to choose between Asus and Gigabyte, I know Gigabyte has higher overclock but Asus has 2 fans plus its known to be a pretty good brand, so my question is why did you choose Asus over Gigabyte ??? Thanks for the help I really apreciate.

Accepted Answer

Same decision I had to make. I felt the small difference in speed was not a major deal but that quietness was. I purchased the Asus and it is very quiet. For me this was the best selection in this price range.

Question 2

Is this card considered a triple head card?

Accepted Answer

I am not sure, because the Max Resolution is 2560X1600. A triple head card is,5760x1080 (ie (1920x3)x1080).

Question 3

What makes this GPU better that the R7 260X OC edition considering there the same price???? This is the card. just enter it into the search bar... ASUS Radeon R7 260X R7260X-OC-2GD5 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card

Accepted Answer

This card is newer and therefore will be supported for longer than the 260X, it's more stable and more efficient than the 260X. They're priced similarly because this card is a refresh, but if you had to choose, go with the newer model

Question 4

Does this video card pull power from the motherboard or from pci-e cables? The reason I ask is because not seeing any power requirements in the card description.

Accepted Answer

Agree that the specs don't say about the power requirements, but I do see a standard 2x3 pin power connector in the picture. The plug faces sideways rather than upwards, but it is clearly there.
