Synthetic Benchmarks

Synthetic benchmarks aren’t going to show you exactly how your card will perform in game but they are a great way to compare between multiple cards because of their consistency. I put the MSI R9 270X Gaming through our suite of synthetic benchmarks including the latest 3DMark, 3DMark 11, and Unreal Heaven Benchmark 4.0. Before we talk about the results, here is a look at the overclocks from each of the R9 270X’s that we have had the chance to take a look at, this helps us understand why each card performs the way it does. We ran the card in gaming mode, because this is its default, putting it in OC Mode would give up a bump up near the Asus card.

MSI R9 270X Gaming

1080MHz

5600MHz

Asus R9 270X DirectCU II Top

1120MHz

5600MHz

Gigabyte R9 270X Windforce OC

1100MHz

5600MHz

Sapphire Toxic R9 270X

1150MHz

6000MHz

As for the results, the R9 270X Gaming actually came in really close to the other cards that had a higher overclock. This result was consistent across all five of our benchmarks. The MSI R9 270X Gaming looked great up against other cards as well, even outperforming the overclocked GTX580 Classified. Its amazing how far we have come performance wise in the past few years.

Nice card, but what is with that wire. Take a clean look and screws it up.
