14 DAY TRIAL // Micro-Star International must have figured that a card like Radeon R9 270 doesn't really need an overclocked base frequency when it's bound to engage the GPU Boost technology under pressure anyway.
So, when it made the Radeon R9 270, it left the base clock alone at 900 MHz, but drove the GPU Boost maximum higher by 50 MHz, from 920 MHz to 975 MHz.
A dual-fan cooler with black-and-red shroud is the only other change (it's the TwinFrozr IV cooling solution, for anyone wondering).
Everything else is the same: 2 GB of GDDR5 VRAM at 5.6 GHz, 256-bit interface, 1,280 stream processors, 80 TMUs and 32 ROPs.
The price should be of $179 / €179, like for every other R9 270 out there, or maybe a tiny bit higher because of the tweaking.
