Radeon R9 270X

The Radeon R9 270X uses a graphics processor called Curacao XT. After reviewing the technical specifications GPU, it is easy to notice that this solution is based on the well-known Pitcairn XT chip, which is used for Radeon HD 7870.

The processor includes 1280 compute units, 80 texture units, and 32 rasterization units. In the case of the R9 270X, the operating clock frequency GPU increased from 1000 to 1050 MHz, i.e. by 5%. A 256-bit bus is still used to access the memory, but the operating frequency of the chips has been significantly increased - from 4800 to 5600 MHz. Given the unchanged width of the bus, the memory subsystem bandwidth in this case has increased by 16,7% - from 153,6 to 179,2 GB / s. As befits a mid-range solution, the basic version of the Radeon R9 270X is equipped with 2 GB of RAM, while modifications with double the memory capacity will also be offered.
