Still one of our most punishing benchmarks, Crysis 3 needs no introduction. With Crysis 3, Crytek has gone back to trying to kill computers and still holds “most punishing shooter” title in our benchmark suite. Only in a handful of setups can we even run Crysis 3 at its highest (Very High) settings, and that’s still without AA. Crysis 1 was an excellent template for the kind of performance required to drive games for the next few years, and Crysis 3 looks to be much the same for 2013. Show  Crysis 3 is another game that NVIDIA and AMD regularly go back and forth on, with NVIDIA in this case holding the edge at 1080p at high quality. The 270X maintains a slight lead, but this means the 270 falls behind, once again trailing the GTX 660 by about 6%. Asus’s overclock will cut into the gap some here, but not enough to catch up. Meanwhile compared to AMD’s 7800 series cards, this ends up being the biggest gains we’ve seen for the 270 series. The difference between the 270X and 7870 is 13%, owing primarily to the memory bandwidth increase for the 270 series cards, and showing just how memory bandwidth limited Pitcairn can be at times. Even 270 is 5% faster, despite the lower GPU clockspeeds.

What's in the box
February 22th, 2015 at 11:40 pm By Sebastian Evan IfanderReally nice card performance...im so proud to have this card and im not regret with my choice May 10th, 2014 at 03:38 pm By Brian BlairIt is a great performing GPU and it runs very cool and I never hear the fans. I really like this card. The only con I have with the card is it has Elpida ram. But I do not plan to overclock it anyway. Besides how would anyone need to overclock a R9 270? May 4th, 2014 at 03:04 am By Brian BlairI just ordered this exact model, I was impressed with the price/performance. And I am hoping I won't have to buy another GPU now for at'least 3 years.

Which R9 270x iceq X2 Turbo Boost is best?The R9 270X reviewed today comes from HIS. They have increased clock speeds significantly on their R9 270X IceQ X² Turbo Boost, making this one of the highest-clocked R9 270Xs on the market at this time. We also find the HIS signature IceQ X cooler with its two fans on the card. How much power does a new iceq X2 2GB have?Power draw on the new model is extremely good as it sits towards the bottom of the pack. You can see we're around the mid 300 watt range. Coming in at $179.99 at the time of writing, the HIS R9 270 IceQ X2 2GB, and just the R9 270 in general, hit at a strong price point. Is the AMD R9 270 a good card?The IceQ series of coolers have been strong since their introduction, and the X2 variant has done an excellent job of keeping cards cool at a decent noise level. While at times the new R9 270 might feel like one card too many, when you really look at it AMD has done a good job of placing this card in an excellent price bracket. Does the R9 270 2GB need a PCIe power connector?Taking a look around the card, you can see that the R9 270 2GB requires just a single 6-Pin PCIe power connector to get up and running. As we move to the top of the card and closer to the front, you can see we've got a single CrossFire connector in the event that you want to run two of these cards together. |
