Review: Sapphire AMD Radeon R9 270 graphics card

Overclocking

We managed to raise the 945/5,600MHz shipping frequencies to 1,060MHz core and 6,300MHz memory, beating the clocks of the R9 270X.

Jumping up four spots and pushing a Radeon HD 7950, Sapphire's card, when overclocked, gains mid-pack respectability.

Which is also reflected in the Far Cry 3 scores. You would need to spend an extra £50 - GTX 760 money - for significantly more performance.
