HIS Radeon R9 270 iPower IceQ X2 Has 50 MHz Overclock

The Radeon R9 270 graphics card may be a pretty good board all on its own, but AMD's OEMs aren't satisfied, and since AMD didn't allow them to customize the R9 290/290X, they are making up for it here.

In this case, we are gazing upon the HIS Radeon R9 270 iPower IceQ X2, which runs the Curacao Pro GPU at 50 MHz more than the stock board.

Thus, the base GPU clock is of 950 MHz instead of 900 MHz, and the GPU Boost top setting is of 975 MHz instead of 925 MHz.

Everything else (not counting the dual-fan cooler with fan spaces shaped like octagons) is left unchanged.

Thus, the HIS Radeon R9 270 iPower IceQ X2 boasts 80 TMUs, 32 ROPs, 1,280 stream processors, a 256-bit memory interface and 2 GB GDDR5 VRAM at 5.6 GHz, plus dual-DVI, HDMi and DisplayPort outputs.

The price should be a bit above the stock card's $180 / €180.
