Today AMD is launching yet another graphics card, the AMD Radeon R9 270, which theoretically could be called the successor to the HD 7850 or the HD 7870. Spec-wise, the R9 270 looks very, very good. Whereas the HD 7850 was a logical step down from the HD 7870, the R9 270 on the other hand doesn’t seem like much of a step down from the...

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 Radeon HD 7730 is a video card model we haven't heard a lot about. Today we find out if there's a reason for that.

Sapphire has created a very nice card based on the Radeon HD 7790. The higher clock frequencies (1075 MHz GPU, 1600 MHz memory) make the Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 Dual-X OC faster than a standard 7790. The cooler is both efficient and quiet.

Fourteen floors down, in a secured elevator, Zardon’s personal lab is a monstrous affair. Closer to a medieval torture pit than anything you’d see Pepper Potts delivering coffee to Tony Stark in. When you absolutely, positively, definitely need the truth – then Zardon’s inner chamber is where the torture testing will happen. However, sometimes you just want it fast and loose. To smack 2 stones against each other and see which, if either, breaks. KitGuru picks up a GTX470 in one hand and a pair of Radeon HD 5770s in the other, before smacking them together to see what gives. GITR. Get In The Ring!

It's been a while since we've looked at anything from Diamond, but today we look at a card that is showing up a bit lately, the HD 6770. Of course, in typical Diamond fashion we're checking out an overclocked model with the HD 6770 we're looking at today coming with the XOC tag."

We all love to play games! It is likely your dream graphics card will be either a GTX 780 Ti or R9 290X. Not fast enough for you? – then how about AMD’s R9 295X2 or Nvidia’s Titan Z? Be prepared to dig deep into your bank account at £1,100 and £2,300 respectively … yes, it really is enough to make grown men cry. Back in the real world – and if recent correspondence with our readers is anything to go by then many of you wanted to see which hardware offers a better gaming experience under the £200 ‘sweetspot’ – an R9 280 or a GTX760. So with this in mind we went shopping online.

Scheinbar immer, wenn eine Grafikkarten-Generation lange und erfolgreich im Markt unterwegs ist und sich dann deren Ablösung durch eine generell neue Technologie oder/und Fertigungsgröße ankündigt, kommt es zu vielfältigen Angeboten an abgespeckten Modellen – sei es, weil die Hersteller durch die lange Lebensdauer dieser Generation viel Zeit zum Austüfteln von Sondermodellen haben, sei es, weil die vielen produzierten Chips vor dem Eintreffen der neuen Generation noch schnellstmöglich unter das Volk gebracht werden müssen. Im Jahre 2008 gab es jedenfalls eine ähnliche Situation, zwei entsprechende Artikel (No.1 & No.2) zeugen hiervon.

We've seen the performance that a single Radeon HD 7750 can offer up to the everyday user, but how would a pair of cards fair in comparison to other options available on the market?

With the 7970 now 9 months old, Sapphire give it a refresh to bring it back in line with the competition with the Vapor-X 6GB version.
