R9 270 vs R9 270X

mroofie · Jul 5, 2014

what's the real difference ?
Because adding another 100+$ for higher clock is just insane :0

TRWOV · Jul 5, 2014

Not much really although as far as I know it's not a $100 difference, more like $20 :confused:

270, $165

They're identical, just one is OC'd with a higher TDP. One is Curacao Pro and one is Curacao XT. Same SP's, same everything.

that's about 130 - 140 $ for an R9 270
Epic price range for me

Get the 270 and OC.

Ralfies · Jul 5, 2014

The 270 only has 1x6 pin power connector while the 270x has 2x6 pin connectors. When overclocking the 270 is extremely power limited and won't clock nearly as high as a 270x. IMO, it's worth it to get the 270x.

TRWOV · Jul 5, 2014

^ Not $100 worthy (in his case). The 270 should at least get to ~1000Mhz, even with the single PCIe connector.
