Sound familiar? Well the Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition, which was codenamed 'Pitcairn XT', also used the 28nm process and featured 2800 million transistors in a 212mm2 die. The Radeon R9 270X, which has been given the codename 'Curacao XT', uses the 28nm design process comprised of 2800 million transistors in a 212mm2 die.
#R9 270x novabench drivers
Although we tend to keep you updated on how GPUs perform with the latest game releases, let this review serve as a guide if you're buying a mid-range GPU today and don't care to bother to read old reviews with old name schemes, and perhaps most importantly, older drivers and obsolete price points.
#R9 270x novabench series
Therefore it looks like we'll have to wait for the R9 290 series before we see anything truly new from AMD. Meanwhile the R7 260X (rebadged HD 7790) will cost $140, while overclocked HD 7790 cards are currently selling for as little as $120. AMD has set the R9 280X at $300, the same price you can get 1GHz 7970 cards for, while the R9 270X is priced at $200, the exact same price as heavily overclocked 7870s. The specifications point to rehashed 7000 series parts and, well, so does the pricing. So with almost nothing new to see here, what's the point? Finally, the R9 280X which we'll eventually retest looks to be a direct copy of the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition. Jumping up in speed we have the R9 270X which is a rebadged Radeon HD 7870 (more about these two in a second). The R7 260X is a rebadged Radeon HD 7790 that has been overclocked, with cards running at 1.1GHz opposed to 1GHz. Both are much slower than the Radeon HD 7750, so these shouldn't be considered as gaming options. The R7 250 is a new product that sits between the HD 7510 and HD 7570 (another OEM only part). The Radeon R7 240 is an overclocked version of the Radeon HD 7510 which was an OEM only part. Confused yet? Well let us try and clear a few things up. The RX 200 series will consist of the Radeon R7 240, R7 250, R7 260X, R9 270X, R9 280X and later this month the R9 290 and R9 290X. Previous years have seen the release of a new GPU generation every year which makes the Radeon HD 7000's shelf life surprising, even more so considering the majority of the new RX 200 series cards rebadges from existing HD 7000 products. AMD has done away with the Radeon 'HD' naming scheme that they have used for the past 6 years and replaced it with something a bit more complex. We will get you up to speed about new Radeon graphics cards outside the R9 290X, however. Unfortunately, we are not going to talk about either of those things today since the day hasn't come yet.
#R9 270x novabench Ps4
There were a couple of exciting announcements: a widely expected new flagship GPU, the R9-290X, that is meant to compete with Nvidia's GTX Titan, and there was also "Mantle," a new open-source API that at least on paper sounds like a great way to optimize games for the PC platform – the fact that AMD is also powering Xbox One and PS4 graphics adds credibility to AMD's announcement, of course. AMD announced the next generation Volcanic Islands GPUs last month at their GPU14 Tech Day event in Hawaii.
