The Radeon R9 270 graphics card should be out tomorrow (November 13, 2013), which means that all of AMD's OEMs will be out in force.

In that picture up there, there is the Gigabyte Radeon R9 270 WindForce 2X version.

It is a factory-overclocked card with clocks of 950 MHz Base and 975 MHz/s Boost. Normally, the frequencies are of 920/950 MHz.

Keep in mind that this is the Radeon R9 270 based on Curacao Pro, not the R9 270X based on Curacao XT.

Anyway, the card has 2 GB GDDR5 VRAM at 5600 MHz, a 256-bit interface, and 1280 Stream Processors, 80 TMUs and 32 ROPs. The price should be of around $179 / €179.

No doubt that Gigabyte will also present an R9 270X at some point, perhaps bearing this same cooler. That one will cost $199 / €179.
