Nach Wochen der Gerüchte ist es nun endlich soweit. AMDs neue Grafikkarten der R-Serie gehen an den Start. Es bewahrheitet sich dabei unter anderem das neue Namensschema der Radeon-Modelle und wir präsentieren heute die R7 260X, die R9 270X und die R9 280X. Unser Artikel klärt dabei, welche Neuigkeiten es gibt und wie sich AMD mit der neuen Grafikserie im Markt positioniert.
Seit einigen Wochen ist die Volcanic-Island-Generation von AMD in aller Munde. Die zahlreichen Spekulationen rund um die neuen Grafikkarten nehmen nun ein Ende, denn soeben ist das NDA gefallen. Berichten dürfen wir endlich über die Radeon R9 280X, R9 270X, R7 260X und die beiden Einsteigermodelle R7 250 und R7 240. Neben den Spezifikationen, haben wir euch die Features der neuen Grafikkarten zusammengefasst.
Having already checked out the AMD R9 280X and AMD R9 270X for today's launch it is now time to take a look at something from the mainstream R7 series and in particular we have the R7 260X with us in this review. The AMD R7 260X is another of AMD's "new" graphics cards that is actually based on a rehashed card from the HD 7000 series. In particular the R7 260X we have here today is AMD's $139.99 offering based on the HD 7790. In fact it is more or less identical to the HD 7790 which came to market at about $150 when it was released but can now be had for as low as $115. That said the R7 260X does bring some improvements such as 2GB of GDDR5 as standard (instead of that being a more expensive luxury like it was on the HD 7790) and higher clock speeds.
Last week AMD unveiled its new series of graphics cards. We tested the first batch of new cards, consisting of the R7 260X, R9 270X and R9 280X. In this review you'll find all benchmark results, frametimes and – for the faster cards - EyeFinity benchmarks.
As you may already know AMD's new series of graphics cards are officially launched today and we have here for you the AMD Radeon R9 270X review, but we've also checked out the R9 280X and R7 260X of which you can see reviews of both on our site's main homepage, or by searching in the search bar if you're reading this some time after publication. We have managed to get our hands on a reference AMD R9 270X, a card which is essentially an overclocked HD 7870 brought to market at a lower price point than the HD 7870 originally was.
The specifications can be seen below and a clock speed of 1050MHz on the core and 5600MHz on the memory is a fair bit higher than the 1000MHz and 4800MHz the AMD HD 7870 offered. The higher clock speeds mean the R9 270X is capable of 2.69 TFLOPS over the 2.56 TFLOPS offered by the HD 7870. Like with all new AMD RX-2XX series graphics cards there is Direct X 11.2 support, OpenGL 4.3 support and support for AMD's new API mantle. AMD have opted for a price point of $199 MSRP for the R9 270X meaning it is actually priced roughly the same as the HD 7870 currently is (the HD 7870 is currently priced to clear so stocks won't last long) but when the HD 7870 originally came to market it retailed for $349 - so this is $149 cheaper.
AMD's new series of graphics cards, the RX 2XX series, is split up into the R9 Enthusiast class and the R7 mainstream class. Both segmentations feature impressive levels of value for money and top end performance at each price point but today we are looking at one of the higher end models. We have with us the Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 280X Vapor-X OC Graphics card in this review but we've also reviewed the AMD R7 260X and AMD R9 270X for today's launch. While this is a Sapphire branded card we are using this as an opportunity to to also look at AMD's Radeon R9 280X as AMD were not able to provide us with a reference design. The reference design of course is identical to Sapphire's model other than the cooler is different and Sapphire have added a mild factory overclock taking the clock speed up from 1GHz to 1.07GHz, and the memory from 6GHz to 6.2GHz.
The Radeon R9 280X card we received from Sapphire and AMD is simply an OEM graphics card so it comes with nothing other than the card which is pictured above. Below you can see a GPU-Z screenshot of the new AMD graphics card which reveals those overclocks I mentioned earlier. A couple of other things to point out are that this card supports Direct X 11.2, OpenGL 4.3 and AMD's new "Mantle" technology.
AMD launch a new series of video cards today. The first we look at is the Radeon R7 260X 2GB - let's dive in and see how it does in our gaming tests.
Today we will cover the highest specification model available at the time of writing, the R9 280X and our version is the ASUS Radeon R9 280X DirectCU 2 TOP 3GB. That is an overclocked version of the card and one of the highest specification models around. We will be comparing it to the two closest NVIDIA models (pricing wise) in the form of the GTX 760 and 770 (both OC models) as well as the part the 280X replaces, the 7970 GHZ. We are testing on the latest i7-4960X CPU, Windows 8.1 and games such as Battlefield 4, F1 2013 and Total War: Rome 2.
Mit Radeon R7 260X, R9 270X und R9 280X lässt AMD die ersten „Volcanic Islands“-Grafikkarten von der Leine. Mehr als ein Aufguss aktueller Modell sind diese allerdings nicht.
Today AMD launch their latest R7 and R9 graphics cards and Kitguru is looking at some of the official designs, as well as one custom partner solution from Sapphire. This review focuses on the latest R7 260x reference card priced at $139. We put this card through its paces against a GTX650ti and the last generation HD7790. Is this card able to power the latest games at high resolution with modest image quality settings?
