Gigabyte R9 270X OC-2GD Single and Cross-Fire!

[spyboy48]

Radeon R9 270X OC, I thought it was a blue PCB but a new model with custom Black PCB graphics card as well as a custom cooler. It came even with factory overclocking boosting it from 1050 to 1100MHz.
Nice to behold!


What more! it comes with a very attractive pricing, 3yrs warranty worth looking at.


Specification of Radeon R9 270X
Core Clock Base / Boost clock：1050 / 1100 MHz
Memory Clock 5600 MHz
Process Technology 28 nm

Nice and Cool PCB, using 2oz copper PCB.

Ultra Durable VGA board allows more bandwidth for electron passage and reduces circuit impedance. The less circuit impedance, the more stable flow of current and can effectively improve power efficiency.



Humble Length of 283mm.

BF4! Battlefield 4 VGA graphics performance benchmark review - Graphics memory - Final Words & Conclusion

All modern graphics cards will run the game at Full HD extraordinary well. For mid-range the 7800 / R9-270X series from AMD and the GTX 660 / 760 and upwards from NVIDIA will offer truly nice value for money.

For your info...
Finally Amd driver can CF, while tested the 1st released beta version, AmD CCC unable to load.

Disable CF.


Enable CF, the 2nd card will be always at 1100/1400MHz at default clock speed.
While the 1st card will idle at 300/150MHz and boost up to full speed 1100/1400MHz when benching.

That's not All, more Overclocking at CF. So, stay tune

 

[spyboy48]

3DMK13 both cards at stock speed 1100/1400MHz.


Overclocking the GPU core to Astonishing clock of 1165MHz and 1552MHz for the memory.
More to come...


Gone over to 10K for 3dmk2013 at an astonishing GPU core speed of 1165MHz and 1600MHz for the memory speed!
Without raising a sweat, no increase of voltage!!!

 

[spyboy48]

For your info
comparing AmD 2pcs of 270x CF score with Nvidia 780.
It costs around $875 for Nvidia 780 and around $600 for Gigabyte 2x 270x.

 

[spyboy48]

3dmk13 at whopping highest score so far 10088!
Well, that's the max it can go without raising any Voltage.
Gpu cores 1174MHz and memory 1600MHz
Not one card but 2 cards ON CF! The 2nd cards run cooler.
1st card always idle at 300MHz to save energy but 2nd card if you don't game, please disable it.

After all the testing with retail Gigabyte 270x, not sample
Is an ALL new high performance AMD graphics card 270X to begin with.
They were good overclocking cards too.

Ist time in history Gigabyte 270x and 280x are very attractively price.
Moreover, their products worth 3 yrs warranty to cover you too.
Many gamers will invest the difference you save, into other hardware components like SSD.

not forgettin CDL's top notch support sir... :thumb2:

Those whose cards were faulty after testing on the spot, on the same day, immediate replacement guarantee. No wasted trip, no downtime.
1st yr 1 to 1.

I myself like their after sales service, even personally help me to solder back my Lan chips(for my mistakes)no other distros can do that!!!
That's how CDL's won me over.

I do not work for Gigabyte nor CDL. I am just doing it for fun and interest
Just sharing my experiences.

GPU power consumption here:

Radeon R9-290 Crossfire review - Power Consumption

What would happen if your PSU can't cope with the load:

• bad 3D performance
• crashing games
• spontaneous reset or imminent shutdown of the PC
• freezing during gameplay
• PSU overload can cause it to break down

 

[spyboy48]

although both cards "CF enable" when I tick the "ULPS" (Ultra Low Power Volt State) the secondary cards will be in idle mode as in crossfire. A reboot is required. Instead of running at full stock speed on secondary cards.
Screen shot was taken.


What happened when I stress test as above. The 1st card went up to 1100MHz/1400Mhz and secondary cards from 300 went up to 450MHz. So your pc wont lag, when in normal idle state. That's nice and efficient energy saver.
When in gaming mode, do untick it for your FULL POWER enjoyment.
A reboot needed too. Cheers

2 pcs of Giga R9 270x costs $309x2= $618 can topple Titan, 780 and almost near to 290x.....Way to go

I was think of getting this 270X crossfire until the R9 290 came up for $565. Even if I add EK waterblock for OC, still cheaper than R9 290X.

Very tempting..

Cool and Quiet to run Gigabyte 270x in cross-fire
