In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the AMD Radeon R7 240 2GB are significantly better than the AMD FireGL V7700.

The R7 240 was released over three years more recently than the FireGL V7700, and so the R7 240 is likely to have far better driver support, meaning it will be much more optimized and ultimately superior to the FireGL V7700 when running the latest games.

The R7 240 has 1536 MB more video memory than the FireGL V7700, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions. However, overall, the FireGL V7700 has superior memory performance.

The FireGL V7700 has 43.2 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the R7 240, which means that the memory performance of the FireGL V7700 is noticeably better than the R7 240.

Both the Radeon R7 240 2GB and the FireGL V7700 have 320 Shader Processing Units. While the two GPUs have the same number of SPUs, the actual performance delivered by the R7 240 is 212 and by the FireGL V7700 is 161. Knowing that the shader performance of the R7 240 is superior, it is not necessary to examine the GPUs' respective Texture and Pixel Fill Rates.

The Radeon R7 240 2GB requires 30 Watts to run but there is no entry for the FireGL V7700. We would recommend a PSU with at least 400 Watts for the R7 240 and a PSU with at least 350 Watts for the FireGL V7700. The R7 240 has been recommended a PSU with 50 Watts more than the FireGL V7700.
