AMD Radeon R9 270X 2 GB Review
Value & Conclusion »Temperatures
Temperatures during gaming are high but acceptable. However, given the noise levels, I'd say that the AMD reference design cooler is not quite powerful enough for this card. Custom boards will certainly come with better cooling solutions.
Clock Profiles
Modern graphics cards have several clock profiles that are selected to balance power draw and performance requirements.The following table lists the clock settings for important performance scenarios and the GPU voltage we measured. We performed the measurements on the pins of a coil or a capacitor near the GPU voltage regulator.
| GPU Clock | Memory Clock | GPU Voltage (measured) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desktop | 300 MHz | 150 MHz | 0.88 V |
| Multi-Monitor | 450 MHz | 1400 MHz | 0.95 V |
| Blu-ray Playback | 450 MHz | 1400 MHz | 0.94 V |
| 3D Load | 1050 MHz | 1400 MHz | 1.21 V |
| CCC Overdrive Limits | |
|---|---|
| Core | 1400 MHz |
| Memory | 1625 MHz |
