![]() ![]() On the back of the card is a connector used to install the optional Turbo Timer device. The card is also Crossfire ready, so we have the appropriate connector for that as well. For power connectivity, there are two 6-pin PCI-E power sockets. The display output area is a dual-slot design that includes DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI, and DisplayPort connections. The box sides provide a platform for additional branding and a basic multilingual specification list.īefore I perform my customary surgical procedure, here are several images of the card from various angles, enjoy! Around back, we find many of the features and specifications we talked about above. Along the bottom are additional details of the card’s capabilities. The box front is decked out in a red and black theme with the product name front and center. The Double Blades fan design can absorb airflow into the center, and increase up to 20% airflow compared to traditional design, even can prevent the dust depositing at the bearings and the bottom of fan, prolonging the life cycle of the thermal and also video card. I like the looks of this cooler, and we’ll see how well it performs later in the review.ĩ0mm Ultra Huge Dual Fan Design: Provide 17% more air flow.2pcs 8mm +1pcs 6mm Large Heat Pipes: Efficiently cools down the temp.Pure Copper Base: 100% GPU coverage and carry away excessive heat efficiently. The PCS+ cooling design uses heatpipes, a large copper base, and a unique Dual Fan design to keep things cool. The following images and descriptions courtesy of PowerColor.ĭigital VRM: Decrease the ripple and enhance power efficiency.Ferrite Conducting Power: 33% higher power.Multi Phases Design: 5+1+1 phases board power Design. The reference design R9 270X uses a six-phase power design, so we do have an increase here. PowerColor describes their power delivery as a “Deluxe Gold Power Kit.” Here, we see a seven-phase power design that uses a digital VRM for clean and efficient power delivery. Other than all the features that come along with AMD’s Graphics Core Next architecture, the PCS+ R9 270X has several PowerColor enhanced features to add to the mix. Not listed in the specifications below are the Shader Units and ROPs, which come in at 1280 and 32 respectively. It’s only a slight overclock of 25 MHz, but it’s still something rarely seen done by other manufacturers. However, something interesting is that PowerColor actually overclocked the memory on this card too. I pulled the specifications below from the PowerColor website, which further indicate the applied factory overclock. So, let’s see what PowerColor has been able to do as we run this card through our review process. The AMD R9 270X GPUs offer good performance at an affordable price, and I’ve been waiting to see how AMD partners incorporate these GPU14 cards into their product lineups. This card comes factory overclocked and has what appears to be a pretty stout cooling solution. However, now that the partner cards are becoming available, PowerColor has sent along their PCS+ R9 270X for us to have a look at. It’s been a while since we reviewed the AMD reference design GPU14 graphics cards. ![]()
