So did AMD gimp their older cards to force people to upgrade? Cause 6870 = 5870 which is supposed to = 260x.
It definitely wasn't vram since on low settings 1080p it was using 1gb, which the 6870 had.
So why is a 260x 25% faster than a 6870 in gta v and 17% faster in bf4 even though they get almost same score in 3dmark firestrike?
There's only an 11% difference in firestrike.
Rest of my specs are

>10GB dual channel ddr3 1333mhz ram

You're reaping the benefits of GCN optimizations over generations, VLIW4 is dead.

because synthetic benchmarks don't correlate to game or other real world performance metrics, especially not newer games versus older synthetic benchmarks
tl;dr fuckoff to /v/

Except the 5870 is about 10-15% faster than the 6870.

>>56202921
the 260x is still 25% faster than the 6870 which still puts it ahead of the 5870.
Should I redo the test with a 5870 and start a new thread?

The GCN cards starting with the R9 series have gotten faster due to driver optimizations by AMD. I noticed it with my 290x

Terascale is no longer supported.

It still got a driver update earlier this year, so it should have a gta optimisation?

Probably. GCN got some MAJOR optimizations sense release so doesn't surprise me to see CCN cards leaving there Terascale equivalents in the dust.

The 260X is equal to a 6950. Check the GPU hierarchy on Tom's Hardware. I know this because when my 6950 failed I had to buy a new card and went with the 260X as it was the same performance, and on sale for $75 when I got it.
