AMD today introduced a new 3D-card Radeon R9 270 . Announced accelerator is not much different from the older version R9 270X, based on the same GPU and differing only in frequency. And then only slightly.
Of course, today, all manufacturers have announced their own versions of new items. Among them was Xfx. Option refers to the range of Double Dissipation and runs on reference frequencies of 900 MHz core and 5600 MHz memory. But the cooling system is different from the one presented by AMD.
At its core has aluminum radiator, a pair of heat pipes and two fan size of about 90 mm. Apparently, the printed circuit board card also differs from the reference sample. The manufacturer focuses on the availability of Ferrite core chokes, and solid capacitors.
In the configuration of the accelerator enter 1,280 general purpose processors and 2 GB of memory, coupled with the GPU via a 256-bit memory bus.
