Sapphire R9 270 2GB graphics card

This Sapphire Radeon R9 270 graphics card delivers 2GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus. It targets 1080p gamers who want playable frame rates without a high-end power budget. The dual-slot design fits most standard ATX cases. DirectX 11.2 support covers a wide library of existing titles.

Core clock and memory configuration

The GPU runs at a 920 MHz core clock paired with 1280 stream processors. This specific clock speed defines the card's performance ceiling in shading and geometry throughput. The 2GB frame buffer and 256-bit interface determine texture capacity and bandwidth at 1080p. Matching this clock to your target resolution decides if the part fits the build.

PCI Express 3.0 x16 and triple-display outputs

The card installs into a PCI Express 3.0 x16 slot and requires dual-slot clearance. One HDMI, one DisplayPort and two DVI ports drive up to three monitors at 4096 x 2160 maximum resolution. CrossFire support allows a second card for multi-GPU scaling. A fan cooler exhausts heat into the case, so ensure adequate chassis airflow.

Questions about this item

How does the 920 MHz core clock translate to actual gaming performance?

The 920 MHz core clock drives 1280 stream processors and 2GB of GDDR5 memory, delivering solid frame rates at 1080p in most DirectX 11.2 titles while leaving headroom for moderate overclocking.

What bandwidth limit does the PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface impose?

PCI Express 3.0 x16 provides up to 16 GB/s of host bandwidth, which is more than enough for the 256-bit GDDR5 memory subsystem on this card.

Will the dual-slot cooler fit in a standard ATX case with 4.3 inches of clearance?

Yes, the card measures 4.3 inches tall and occupies two expansion slots, so any ATX chassis with that much vertical space and two free rear brackets will accommodate it.
