MSI Radeon R9-270X Gaming review - Product Photos - MSI Radeon R9-270X Gaming

So the MSI R9 270X Gaming is a 2GB version with that popular TwinFrozr IV cooler. It has two  6-pin PCI-E PEG power connectors. Included with all cards will be a manual and a demo and driver CD, power converters and monitor connector converters.
 

The 270X is armed with 2GB to 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/yellow looking card from MSI. The close to 3 billion-transistor 28nm Pitcairn based core is tied to a nice 2GB memory -- which is plenty enough for mid-range products. As stated, all the regulars are included, including handy to use connectors for digital multi-meter voltage monitoring.

The reference Radeon R9-270X cards are clocked at a 1050 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.
