We managed to get just over 10% more out of the core, peaking at 1,045 mhz before minor artifacting would occur. The memory stability peaked at 1,485mhz (just under 6Gbps effective).

The additional manual overclock helps push the Dual-X R9 270 into the same scoring zone as the HD7870 Tahiti LE, scoring between 7,800 and 7,900 points.

  1. Nice looking card – I think it all depends on the pricing. the HD7850 sold well near the end as they were often offered at £125. at that price they would be onto a winner, but £150? bit high I think

  2. Good performance and at least the shaders are up to 1280 over 1024 on the 7850. Only thing I feel is that AMD partners will sell the 270x at very close to 270 pricing, so not much point in having both. $20 difference? who will buy a 270 – feels like the 6830 and 6850 all over again. the cheaper part never sold as retail prices were so close.

  3. AMD Gaming Evolved is giving away this graphics card, 1 per week and you can enter up to 7 times per week. They are also giving away free pc games.
