Customer Review

I bought this graphics card as I have asked myself a new system together. I was wondering about whether I
the R9 270x or 280x to get R9, had then but decided ultimately for R9 270X because me this appeared to be sufficient. My requirements was a graphics card that can play all current games on high / ultra liquid.
I've looked at some tests and reviews on the internet and then I decided to go for ASUS, as the graphics card with the best performance of the R9 had 270x cards and what I also was very important the volume.

My PC Hardware:
- CPU i5 4690
- Asrock H97 Pro 4
- 8GB DDR3 RAM Hyper X Savage
- 1x 120GB SSD / 1x 2TB HDD
- Power supply 480 Watt NoName
- 3 fan for supply air (2x front / 1x bottom)
- 3 Fan exhaust (2x up / 1x rear)

When I then obtain the map I was thrilled, she makes a great impression visually, which I was also important because it has been built into a housing with inspection window. The color also fit very well because I have everything designed for Black / Red. What I also noticed that the map is quite large and probably would not fit in any case, fits with me this but super clean and I still have some space. The card can be installed easily and connect, you should not over 2x 6-pin power connectors are equipped, so ASUS puts this at least an adapter for 1x 6 pin.

Now everything was installed and I started the PC, the installation went very easy on the CD and I also made equal to an update, as new drivers were available. I have to say I was the performance of the card totally convinced, I imagined a good card but as good now either. I can all the latest games on Ultra play with about 30 - 60 FPS. The 30 FPS are usually on when eg MSAA selects as antialiasing to the highest level, because the map around zipper. With me is played on a Benq 24 "Full HD So in 1920 x1080.

The map is pretty quiet even under full load for a graphics card, the CPU fan drowned out the video card by far. My CPU fan is a Freezer 13 CO is already quieter than the standard fan.
At the 2 green indicator lights on the graphics card power connector on you can control whether the video card gets enough watts from the power supply, this light is everything okay. The price is also perfectly fine for this power.
The temperatures will be my graphics card under full load at approximately 50-60 degrees and the normal desktop operation eg surfing at 28-30 degrees, the room temperature is about 21- 22 degrees.

What I also noticed that the FPS keeps the graphics card at low load constant, so do not needlessly revs to 200-300 FPS but about 60 FPS holds, which I find very good. This can be seen well in the supplied program ASUS GPU Tweak. The supplied program yet also displays the GPU clock, fan speed, temperature and the utilization of the graphics card, also could be the graphics card still tune somewhat.

Pro +:
- not loud
- Good graphics performance
- Beautiful design
- Easy installation
- Indicator lights
- Temperature
- Low price

Counterparty:
- Nothing

If something striking me negative or I I will change my mind about the product to update the review.

I hope you could help the review.

UPDATE 05/31/15:
I'm still very pleased with the graphics card, you can play almost every game to the highest level.
I've bought Witcher 3 and can take the highest settings except Nvidia Hairworks I turned.
The game runs as constant between 25-28 FPS. Perfectly adequate because the human eye can only perceive 24 FPS, so it runs smoothly.
