Asus R9 270 Direct CU II OC Review

To test today we initially tried Catalyst Control Center.

Catalyst Control Center limited the overclocking of this card as the slider maxes out at 1,050mhz. It was rock stable, so we tested with the Asus GPU TWEAK software, supplied on the software disc with the card.

The Asus GPU Tweak software was limited to 1,100mhz and yet again the card was completely stable at this speed. There is therefore a possibility that the hardware could overclock higher, but we had no means of going past 1,100mhz.

That said, it is worth pointing out again that the Asus R9 270 Direct CU II OC is supplied overclocked out of the box. We managed to get another 13% out of the core before the software limited us.

This is an incredible result. The final score of 8,559 points is very close to the more expensive R9 270x DCUII TOP.
