AMDs R7 and R9 graphics cards are essentially rebranded versions of the 7xxx series, with the exception to this being the upcoming R9 290X. The rest of the lineup, however, has an equivalent last gen counterpart.
R7 250 - HD7730 (though the R7 is higher clocked)
R7 260X - HD7790
R9 270X - HD7870
R9 280X - HD7970 GHz Edition
What does this all mean? Not much. The 'newer' cards offer slightly better performance and a slightly lower price tag. However, keep your eyes peeled for 7000 series cards on sale, as these may offer the best deal of all. For a more in depth analysis of the rebranding, check out the video link below:
