Compare any two graphics cards:
Radeon R9 270 vs Radeon R9 270X
IntroThe Radeon R9 270 has a core clock speed of 900 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1400 MHz. It also features a 256-bit bus, and uses a 28 nm design. It features 1280 SPUs, 80 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon R9 270X, which comes with core speeds of 1000 MHz on the GPU, and 1400 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 1280 SPUs as well as 80 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthBoth cards have the exact same memory bandwidth, so theoretically they should have the same performance. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon R9 270X will be a small bit (about 11%) more effective at AF than the Radeon R9 270. (explain)
Pixel RateThe Radeon R9 270X will be a small bit (approximately 11%) better at FSAA than the Radeon R9 270, and able to handle higher resolutions better. (explain)
Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface in one second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by its memory speed. If it uses DDR type RAM, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the core clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.

11 Responses to “Radeon R9 270 vs Radeon R9 270X”Asus R9270X-DC2T-2GD5 is the best graphic card f the year.i love it.it works very smooth with no noise.i had played battlefield 4 in ultra graphics.
Now looking back several months later, it seems like the R9270 can be clocked to run just as well as the 270X. This makes the 270 the better deal, even more than the NVidia equivalent. If you have the choice, get the 270 instead of the 270X, unless you find that they're only a few bucks apart.
I've ran the 270 vs my friends comp which is running the 270x and in every benchmark I've blown his card away,
Josh u have not blown a 270X away with ur 270 even not if u have overclocked ur 270.
The 270x can be overclocked as well. And Josh if you are "blowing away" your friends 270x with your 270, something is bad wrong with his system.
Actually the 270 can match the 270X clock for clock. They are both the exact same chip, All they did was clock one higher and slap a X on it. Now some R9 270 models can't overclock as much as the 270X but most can. This is why they are not priced very far apart either. I got the 270 because I am cheap but I wanted a High End GPU, Some may claim it is only High mid or whatever, But this card is a high end model. All R9's are high end. Just like Nvidia Starting with the 760 they are all high end.
I run a 270 non X also. I keep mine set at 1050mhz all the time. I have tried 1100mhz and was very impressed with how it performed. I was beating most GTX 760 Benchmarks with it at 1100mhz, But I keep it 1050mhz because I want to keep it awhile, And it performs outstandingly enough at stock 925mhz. At 1050mhz All my games can be cranked way up with FPS that everyone hopes for.
I actually got a 270 + 270x setup atm, running crossfire, overclocked both mems to 1450 and the 270 up to 1050 and the 270x up to 1120. got an awesome boost 🙂 tomorrow gonna try and extra pci cooler blowing air directly at the 270 mounted on the bottom, hope it will be slightly cooler so i can clock it to 1100 🙂 the clocking i did today brought me up to 17k graphic points in 3d mark basic 🙂 great cards both of them 🙂
got the 270x used btw in norway at around 120 buckaroons 🙂 4gb version 😀
I picked up the Asus r9 270, it runs at a stock 975mhz and can easily run 1Gz just like the 270x. Its a bargain at its price level right now.
30 extra watts for a couple of FPS is pretty lame for the same price of a 270X i can get the more powerful 760 but i don't really need all that juice and i hate hot cards anything above 150 watts is a no no i don't give a fuck about how efficient the cooler is
