If 270x comes even close to normal 7950 then it would be great

hd 7950 = R9 270x < hd 7950 (with boost)

thanks i know about asus card which is close to 18k so if this (i mean his ) perform close to normal 7950 then we are actually getting performance of 7950 @15k. That makes it a superb VFM card with 3yrs warranty

Update -
HIS GRAPHICS CARD R9 270X ICEQ X2 BOOST CLOCK 2GB DDR5
HIS R9 270X IceQ X² Turbo Boost 2 GB Review | techPowerUp

This card is pure VFM and perform better than 7950

Sapphire Launches Radeon R9 270X Dual-X 4GB Card

is it even capable of handling 4GB frame buffer ? I'm just wondering why manufacturers made such a card in the first place ?

 

[harshilsharma63]

^ the card is good anyways. Maybe the price difference between 2 GB VRAM and 4 GB VRAM is very small.

It is Just "Marketing"

Is HIS R9 270X 2GB capable GPU? I mean it has only 2 years warranty as specified in its website.

any idea when will it be stable again nvidia prices in india are still high till now no price drops has been observed..........

mining had nothing to do with "no price cut in India" , miners don't use nvidia cards, nvidia architecture is not good for mining anyway. The effect s severe on AMD cards overseas.

figures why the price of desktop memory modules are going high

It is Just "Marketing"

bad move ... I can even see 4Gb DDr3 ram on some low end cards which gives them an artificial price addition . Doing this the manufacturers are just lowering down their reputation and partially becoming responsible for high price of desktop memory modules.

^^
so it says mostly a rebrand,even 8000 series was a rebrand.this is the 3rd gen of same card.even nvidia did the same thing,they just oced it.hope AMD will atleast bother to OC these cards.

 

[bssunilreddy]

Why there is a 3-4k difference between AMD or nvidia cards in US and India.

 

[kartikoli]

It was always the case with both nvidia/ati so nothing new

 

[sukesh1090]

@ bavusani,
because the cards are imported to india ,they have to pay high tax for that smewhere around 20 to 25% so you will always see 3-4k difference.US has free trade policy but we don't,so we pay high for all the impoted goods.
