XFX R9 270X Review.00_02_50_19.Still011

The performance, not too surprisingly, is almost identical to the XFX 7870 we tested it against, and runs about 5% slower than the 280 in most games. This is to be expected and is what you get when you pay less. We used our standard test rig, which has had a couple of updates since the last review. We used an Intel Pentium G3420 on a Gigabyte Z97MX-Gaming 5 board, with 8GB of Crucial Ballistix RAM. We used an XFX 650W XXX edition PSU and a Cooler Master Netpon 120XL (and Cosmos SE). Finally we used a SanDisk Ultra II for boot and storage. Something that not a lot of people seem to be talking about with this card is it’s frame buffer. Yeah, that number 4 that sits next to GB and GDDR5. When I first saw it I was a bit puzzled, and here’s why. This card, as you will see from the results, just doesn’t have enough horsepower to play a lot of games at 1080p on ultra settings at 60FPS. Most games it copes with but the obvious PC whore of Crysis 3 gives the card a beating. So I instantly thought, ‘No, this can’t be for 4K gaming’ considering the 290X and even the GTX 980 can’t reaaaaallllllyyyyyyy handle 4K@60Hz. So, why oh why could this card have 4GB of VRAM? The only mildly plausible answer I could come up with was XFX want you to buy 2 and run 1080p eyefinity with them, as the doubled frame buffer would benefit the cards greatly in storing all the many textures and polygons the game would require.

So. Games. As always we used the 5 standard games, BioShock Infinite, Battelfield 4, Grid 2, Crysis 3 and Unigine Heaven. See the results, and the temperatures graph below.

So as you can see, even though this is just a re-branded 7870, it keeps cooler than even the 280, yet performs remarkably similarly to it, considering the price gap (not to mention the 4GB frame buffer size, compared to the 3GB the 280 has as standard).
