So the the ASUS R9 270 DIrectCUII OC is a 2GB version with that popular cooler. It has one 6-pin PCI-E PEG power connector. Included with all cards will be a manual and a demo and driver CD, power converters and monitor connector converters.

The 270 is armed with 2GB to get you a little more leash with resolutions and image quality settings. As such the card has been designed to be a nice match for gaming, up-to 1920x1200 or FullHD. We see a nice dark/red looking card from ASUS. The close to 3 billion-transistor 28nm Pitcairn based core is tied to 2GB memory -- which is enough for mid-range products.

The reference Radeon R9-270 cards are clocked at a 925 MHz core frequency and the GDDR5 memory runs at 5.6 Gbps (effective data rate as GDDR5 has a quad data-rate, so effectively that quadruples that number), the memory bus is 256-bit.

The ASUS DCUII OC cards are however clocked faster at 975 MHz (Boost). The memory clock remains reference though. The card is 23cm long.

Connectivity wise the output connectors will actually vary per brand -- the board will get two DVI connectors, then a HDMI and one full size DisplayPort connector.
