Why the power draw between 270x and 280x is about 100w. Is 280x so power hungry? Can I get any less power hungry version of 280x.Like 270 are there any 280 GPU? I noticed the difference in a PSU calculator.

R9 280x = HD 7970 GE
R9 280 = HD 7950
R9 270x = HD 7870
R9 270 = HD 7850

now every R9 cards has got some little clock speed boost - that's all.

is there a R9 280??

yep - Radeon R9 280 | VideoCardz.com

It will come soon in market

r9 270x = hd7870 GHz edition
r9 270= HD7870-1xPeg connector

See Tom's and Guru3d report

What is 1xPeg connector?

What is 1xPeg connector?

its not too tough to google it, right?

That means only 1 pin or it could have been easier if anybody says 1pin or 2 pins.

And what about the low end ?
R7 260X
R7 260
R7 250 ...

R7 260X (HD7790 with 100MHz boost)

R7 260X
R7 260
R7 250 ...

adding upto the above post :

R7 260 = This is a little interesting stuff and sits between R7 260x and HD 7770 .. architecture wise it's more similar with HD 7790 [ GCN 1.1 ] but has reduced shader count of 768.
R7 250 = Oland XT gpu with 384 SP count it's less powerful than HD7750 but is a little better than HD7730 [~2%]
R7 240 = Oland Pro gpu with 320 SP count, equipped with only DDR3 memory and performance wise even slower than a HD6670 GDDR5.

Interesting.
Now,price will decide who gonna win again,AMD or Nvidia.
I'm planning to upgrade in next 6 month with as usual low budget of 8K.
Hope I will get a good card of at least 2GB VRAM with DDR5.

BTW,will mantle provide any boost for old cards ?
What system we need to get benefit from upcoming mantle ?

mantle is supported by current GCN based gpus.

 

[harshilsharma63]

This article states GCN is NOT a requirement for Mantle: AMD Mantle API does not require GCN - Will work with Nvidia Graphic Cards
is it true?

Edit: NO. AMD's Mantle page says GCN is required for mantle.

Now you can get GTX-650Ti 2GB (non BOOST edition) for ~ 9k.
So, after 6 months you can expect 650Ti Boost for around the same price.

Hope so.
Last time I was thinking of same about 9800GT.
But,u know what happened ?
I ended up with HD5670 cos 9800GT was not available after 6 month and all new model came which were almost like old wine in anew bottle.

Hi,

How is this Zotac GTX 660 for 14.4k:

ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce GTX660 2GB 2 GB DDR5 Graphics Card - ZOTAC: Flipkart.com

Sorry I should have mentioned that I would be using it with i5-4670 and Asus H87 Pro. I am looking for something around 15k to play games at 1080p.

your psu? for 15.5k you can get 270x . but mention your psu.

I have ordered a Seasonic 650W (M12II), and they are sending over a 750W as 650W was out of stock. That should suffice.

then go for 270x .

 

[aniket.cain]

then go for 270x .

Thanks! Can you please provide any specific models to look for? I can see some for around 18k online.
