Like most AMD AIB partners, Club 3D has also launched its own Radeon R9 270 graphics card, the R9 270 royalQueen. As a part of the Club 3D's Poker series, the R9 270 royalQueen features custom cooler as well as a factory overclock.

In case you missed it earlier, the R9 270 is based on the 28nm Curacao GPU which is quite similar to the Pitcairn GPU, earlier seen with the Radeon HD 7870. It packs 1280 stream processors, 80 TMUs and 32 ROPs. According to our earlier info from AIB sources, there have been some improvements to the GPU, hence the new name, but we are still not sure if these are simply efficiency improvements or we will see something else as well.

Club 3D's R9 270 royalQueen wroks at 930MHz base GPU and 955MHz GPU Boost clocks while 2GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 256-bit memory interface ended up clocked at 5600MHz. Club 3D decided to pair it up with its own, and quite good, dual-slot CoolStream cooler that features dual heatpipes and single center placed fan and should cope quite well with the R9 270 GPU.

The rest of the features include DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs, and according to the recent announcement, should also come with Battlefield 4 game.

Unfortunately, Club 3D did not reveal any details regarding the price or the availability date of the new royalQueen R9 270 but we are sure it will show up in retail/e-tail pretty soon.
