Review: Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 270 graphics card

Power, temps and noise

Here's where the Sapphire card excels. Power consumption, evaluated as a system, is noticeably lower than the R9 270X.

The graph does not have a typo, in case you're wondering. The dual-fan cooler laughs in the face of the 945MHz-clocked R9 270 GPU.

What's even more impressive is that the Dual-X heatsink is also very quiet under load. Impressive stuff from Sapphire.
