To overclock today we used AMD's Catalyst Control Center.


This particular card is supplied in a very heavily overclocked state, running at 1,150mhz. We managed to get around 7.5% out of it before artifacting and instability would occur. The final result of 1,235mhz is our best yet for a R9 270X.


The healthy overclock resulted in another 450 points in 3DMark 11, around 500 points ahead of the eVGA GTX760 SuperClock card.

These do look a little like Zotac cards, but they have excellent coolers. my friend bought the 280X toxic edition after reading the review here and its impressive. good cards and a long establisted name.
same price as the HD7870 Tahiti LE I bought a few months ago – bit pissed off about that 🙂
