AMD's newest R9 and R7 graphics cards have been around for quite some time and while the R7 240, 250 and 260X were already launched earlier, it appears that it is the time for R7 260 as well and Club 3D is ready with its R7 260 royalQueen model.

The R7 260X was based on a fully enabled Bonaire XT GPU while AMD R7 260 is based on slightly cut-down version with 768 Stream Processor and slightly lower clocks. It still feature 128-bit memory interface but comes with 1GB of memory and slightly lower 1000MHz GPU and 6.0GHz memory clocks. Since it is a part of the Club 3D Poker series, the R7 260 royalQueen has a slight factory overclock pushing the GPU to 1030MHz.

The good side of the Radeon R7 260 is that it actually supports both AMD Mantle API as well as the AMD TrueAudio, previously limited to R9 290X, R9 290 and R7 260X graphics cards. Club 3D's R7 260 royalQueen also uses custom design with Club 3D's own CoolStream dual slot cooler and needs a single 6-pin PCI-Express power connector.

Unfortunately, Club 3D did not shed any light regarding the actual price or the precise availability date.
