The R9 270X 2GB starts at $199.99, but we see a lot come in at the $209.99 mark; including the ASUS R9 270X DirectCU II TOP 2GB. The range on the model though, is quite big, as we see some 2GB offerings coming in as high as $239.99. For what we've seen t...
Right now, the mainstream $210 ($189 after $20 MIR) price point is a fairly difficult one to select a card that has an excellent value for the dollar. AMD has positioned its R9 270X GPU as the $200 MSRP GPU while NVIDIA has a hole in its lineup between th...
Abstract: Refreshes are bad, right? I guess that depends on who you talk to. In the case of AMD, it is not a bad thing. For people who live for cutting edge technology in the 3D graphics world, it is not pretty. Unfortunately for those people, reality has...
Factory overclock, DirectCU II cooler, GPU Tweak software is actually useful, Made with quality components, Power indication LEDs on the PCIe power connections
Accessory package could be better
Just like we said with ASUS's 280X version there are many different 270X cards out there so is this a good choice? We sure think so! The ASUS R9 270X DirectCU II TOP features a nice factory overclock up to 1120 MHz from the reference 1050 MHz. Beyond tha...

There is little doubt AMD succeeded when it singled out the GTX 660 as the R9 270X target point. Our test results show a resounding win for the Red Team in that regard. Now that the price war between the GTX 660 and R9 270X has settled a bit, they both ...

excellent build, excellent performance, excellent overclocking, excellent power consumption
cooling in overclocking
The Asus R9 270X DirectCU II Top is a pretty good graphics card, with some pretty nice performance figures. The overclocking is also a pretty good, though the cooler needs some improvement if it wants to match the voltage increase.What else is there to sa...
Abstract: Anyone remotely interested in computer hardware will know that AMD recently released a very large number of video cards in a very short amount of time. The new series includes the flagship Radeon R9 290 and 290X cards but also more affordable versions b...
In our coverage of the R9 series so far we have been fairly disappointed by AMDs decision to rebrand existing parts when they really didn't need to… and their over complex naming scheme which is now in place. Add to that the lack of TrueAudio in the 280/2...
