![]() ![]() ![]() Let’s see if $199 graphic cards have become capable enough for gaming on the current AAA titles. The specific model we are going to test is the HIS Radeon R9 270X IceQ X² with Turbo Boost and 2 GB memory. The card is aimed towards the mainstream audience at a price of only $199. Today we will be testing the latest Radeon R9 series graphic card known as the Radeon R9 270X. We have tested out the reference and non-reference variants of the AMD Radeon R7 260X graphic cards only yesterday. Technically speaking, the Radeon R200 series cards which include the Radeon R9 280X, Radeon R9 270X, Radeon R7 260X, Radeon R7 250 and Radeon R7 240 are GCN rebrands with the addition of new features but rather than giving away the same cards at the same price ranges, AMD added a few new features which we will detail in this article and slashed the prices so much that the Tahiti chip that once was $549 can now be bought for $299 US. The Volcanic Islands family is branded as the Radeon R200 series and takes performance and value to the next level. The Southern Islands family was the first to support the TSMC 28nm GCN ‘Graphics Core Next’ architecture and today we will be looking at the successor to the Southern Islands codenamed Volcanic 672631 b21 Islands. It has been almost two years since AMD launched their GCN architecture based Radaeon HD 7000 ‘Southern Island’ series. ![]()
