14 DAY TRIAL // ASUS has two Radeon R9 270 graphics cards up for sale, both with custom cooling, but only one of them is factory overclocked.
The former is called R9270-DCU2-2GD5 and sticks to 900/920 MHz Base/Boost GPU clocks, despite having a dual-fan DirectCU II cooler that can handle better.
The R9270-DCU2OC-2GD5 is the faster model, and it's superior to even other overclocked cards, like PowerColor Radeon R9 270 OC.
Where PowerColor's board has the GPU running 30 MHz faster than normal, the ASUS adapter is 50 MHz better than the reference.
Thus, the GPU works at 950 MHz normally and 975 MHz when things get tough. The rest of the specs are unchanged.
Not sure how much more expensive than $180 / €180 the overclocked ASUS card is. Retailers should show it soon though.
