14 DAY TRIAL // Club 3D has launched new Radeon R9 270 and Radeon R9 270X graphics cards as part of the '14Series, only it didn't follow the same pattern as the rest of AMD's partners.
Which is to say, the company didn't bundle the thing with too many accessories and also forwent any and all game bundles.
The ultimate goal was to bring prices lower than usual, although the press release didn't actually include them.
The R7 270X can be found for as little as $180 / €180 though, and the R9 270 for a bit less than that (if you're lucky), so the new ones from Club 3D could ship for around $10 / €10 lower on both counts.
We'll have to wait for them to actually reach stores though, to tell for certain.
Keep in mind, though, that these prices might not pan out, because certain conditions have come together in such a way that they caused all Radeon R9 series boards to be overpriced. Demand is just too good apparently, prompting price hikes.
Anyway, the new Club 3D '14Series graphics cards (successors to the '13Series) come in white boxes and are good for anyone seeking an upgrade or adding a second card to their PCs.
The Club 3D Radeon R9 270 '14Series has 1,280 stream processors, up to 955 MHz GPU clock speed, 2 GB of GDDR5 VRAM operating at 5600 MHz and a TDP of 150W.
It boasts the CoolStream cooler and, naturally, will run games designed on the Mantle API (only Battlefield 4 for now).
The Club 3D Radeon R9 270X '14Series has the same number of stream processors but a max GPU speed of 1080 MHz, 2 GB of GDDR5 at 5600 MHz and a TDP of 175W. It also has the CoolStream cooler and Eyefinity 4 support (quad-monitor display).
