R9 270X, one of the most enthusiast Gpu in the R-200 series is indeed
worth for a buy as it comes within a mid-range budget competing withits
opponent Gtx GeForce 760 as a refreshed version of its predecessor HD
7870.Curtailing the sales of Gtx 760 to a great extent R9 270x verily
proves that 1080p (HD) gaming is still possible in a mid-budget. Hence
R9 270X is the Gpu I have chosen to 3aw2give a review on.
R9-270
series consists of two versions that are R9-270 andR9-270X where X
represents a better performance in respect to that of 270, anew naming
process by Amd to differentiate between its two models. R9-270 beingthe
successor of 7850 and R9-270X being of 7870 consumes 150 watt and
180wattrespectively. Considering the price issue no distortion has been
on this sector by the manufacturers. Another excellen tfeature earned
by 270 and 270x is that Nvidia doesn’t have any particular card
specifically at the price scheme of 270 and 270X. Though 760 is meant to
be compared to 270X but as the price range isn’t same, the comparison
is quite invalid. Same goes with 270 where 660 is the so called
competitor once again due to difference between pricing. However I do
not persist on including the ti version of 660 and 760 in the comparison
as it would make my review morecomplex fuddling the readers.
Moving
to the specs of the card, 270X is developed using Pitcairn processor
with a core clock speed and memory clock speed of 1050 MHz and 1400 MHz
consecutively and the memory amount is 4 GB at maximum. Whereas 270
comes with the same Gpu processor but slightly varies in the Gpu clock
speed which is 925MHz keeping the memory bandwidth including other
significant factors same among them. And it supports up to 2 GB memory.
Conclusively
for multi Gpu usage or Crossfire X plans bothof these cards will
support 2 way crossfire at best where a bridge would be required too.
Diving
into the card’s manufacturers, it is developed Gigabyte, Sapphire ,
Asus and MSI majorly with each of them initializing their varietyby
applying unique cooling systems, look and and chipsets. Sapphire
introduces their Vapor-X cooling system, Gigabyte with their Windforce
and Asus with their Direct CU II. Price does vary with the developers.
The
4 GB edition would render better Frame rate in higher resolution while
Vapor-X , Windforce and Direct CU II comes with better cooling system
and stability.
