Another day and another AMD R9 280X review. Today we’ve got another custom cooled and overclocked graphics card but this time we’ve got a graphics card vendor that we haven’t taken a look at for ages – HIS Digital. This is the first HIS Digital graphics card I’ve ever looked at some I am quite excited to see what it can offer. Despite the fact this is an AMD R9 280X we won’t recap all the monotonous information about the R9 280X GPU that you’ve probably already heard a million times by now, if you want to read more about the R9 280X you can do so here. We want to focus specifically on this HIS card which is the “HIS R9 280X iPower IceQ X² Turbo Boost” – yes quite a mouthful.
Firstly let’s quickly break down that really long name into what it all means. “iPower” is HIS’ way of saying an improved VRM and power delivery system. This graphics card has a 9 phase VRM, versus 8 phases on the reference design, uses DirectFET MOSFETs compared to your bog standard MOSFETs on the reference design and it has a pair of 8 pins instead of the 6+8 pin reference design meaning there is more power to be delivered to the GPU. Secondly, the “IceQ X²” part means this is using HIS’ IceQ X² cooling solution that features a pair of 89mm fans, two 8mm heat pipes and three 6mm heat pipes. That’s all encased in a large aluminium shroud which features the IceQ X² and Turbo branding on it. Thirdly and finally the “Turbo Boost” part is predictably an overclock. AMD’s reference R9 280X comes with a 850MHz core and 1000MHz boost, aka “up to 1GHz” while the HIS version comes with a 1000MHz core clock and 1050MHz boost clock. You can see those clocks below, the core is up 5% on reference and the memory is identical to reference.
Oggi vi proponiamo una recensione diversa dal solito, infatti non analizzeremo la AMD Radeon R7 260 confrontandola con tutte le nostre VGA come al solito, ma la metteremo a diretto confronto con la sua rivale la Nvidia GTX 650 Ti, situata sulla stessa fascia di prezzo. Se avete riletto più volte il titolo pensando che ci fosse un errore sul nome della scheda AMD, bè dobbiamo dirvi che è corretto: AMD ha infatti lanciato un altro modello R7, piazzandola esattamente tra la R7 250 e la R7 260X. Come vedremo la R7 260 si contraddistingue da quest’ultima sotto molti aspetti.
Mit der Gigabyte R9 290X testen wir die zweite Radeon R9 290X, die mit einem eigenen PCB und einem eigenen Kühlsystem daher kommt. Das leistet die GV-R929XOC-4GD.
AMD nutzt weiterhin die Zeit und ergänzt seine R-Serie um neue Modelle, um damit Stück für Stück die Radeon-HD-7000-Serie auslaufen zu lassen. Ein weiterer Vertreter, welcher die Produktpalette nach unten abrunden soll, ist die Radeon R7 250X. Diese neue Grafikkarte präsentieren wir heute in Form der ASUS R7 250X, welche sich mit eigenem Design präsentiert.
Aktuell ist die Radeon R9 290X auf Basis der 28 nm Hawaii-GPU das Single-GPU-Flaggschiff der "Volcanic Islands"-Generation von Entwickler AMD und geht als direkter Widersacher der GeForce GTX Titan (Black) von Konkurrent Nvidia ins Rennen. Die GPU unterscheidet die R9 290-Familie maßgeblich von anderen "Volcanic Islands"-Modellen wie der Radeon R7 260X, Radeon R9 270X und Radeon R9 280X, die allesamt auf bereits bekannte GPU-Technik setzen. Hawaii ist mit einer Die-Fläche von 438 mm² die bislang größte AMD-GPU und wird wie gewohnt von Partner TSMC in einem 28 nm Verfahren gefertigt. Mithilfe von gewaltigen 6,2 Milliarden Transistoren bildet AMD unter anderem 2.816 Shader-Einheiten ab, die für brachiale Rechenpower sorgen sollen. Sapphire liefert mit der Radeon R9 290X Tri-X OC eine ab Werk übertaktete Variante der Grafikkarte inklusive extravaganter Kühlung aus. Wie sich das Overclocking von GPU und Speicher auf die Performance der Karte auswirkt und ob die alternative Kühlung überzeugen kann, klären wir in unseren ausführlichen Review der Sapphire Radeon R9 290X Tri-X OC mit 4 GB GDDR5-Speicher. [...] Wir wünschen wie immer viel Spaß beim Lesen des Artikels!
We overclock the Sapphire R9 290X 4GB Vapor-X OC video card and see what kind of performance we can get out of it. Take a look at what Shawn has to say.
Graphic cards
I would have to say that price is probably the most important feature when you consider the GeForce GTX 980Ti, UHD and Ultra-Wide gaming are becoming increasingly popular up until now that required a minimum of two video cards.
Here at eTeknix, we strive to give the consumer the best possible advice in every aspect of technology. Today is no different, we are extremely excited to bring you the CrossFireX review of the recently released AMD Radeon R9 Fury X. As we all know, the R9 Fury X is AMD’s latest attempt to take the crown from NVIDIA in the top end consumer GPU market. In some ways, AMD has succeeded, thanks to the introduction of a new GPU architecture and the innovative High Bandwidth Memory (HBM). With the use of HBM, it has been proven that the quantity of VRAM isn’t the issue, it is the quality of the connection and bandwidth allowance for the VRAM to do its work; although more VRAM certainly couldn’t hurt.
