Today was presented as five representatives of the new generation AMD graphic card.
Elders of the presented today accelerators is Radeon R9 280X. The card is renamed and slightly modified video card Radeon HD 7970 GHz. It is based on GPU Tahiti XTL with 2048 purpose processors. 3 GB of GDDR5 memory connected to the GPU via a 384-bit memory bus. The core works at 1000 MHz, while the memory - 6000 MHz. its official price is only $ 300.
The following is a representative of new generation of Radeon R9 270X. Based on new GPU Curacao XT, card, in fact, is renamed old product (Radeon HD 7870), but with higher frequencies. Unified processors here is also 1280, the memory bus width - 256 bits. Memory: 2 or 4 GB. Core frequency is 1050 MHz, which is only 50 MHz higher than the HD 7870, but the memory operates at a frequency of 5600 MHz instead of 4800 MHz. This increase has a positive impact on the speed.
A step below the Radeon R9 270X Site Radeon R7 260X. At the core is located GPU Bonaire XT with 896 general purpose processors. The memory bus is only 128 bits, memory - 2 GB. Frequencies were also raised regarding the predecessor to the 1100 level MHz core and 6500 MHz memory. The official price is $ 140. The competitors of the new product will be adapters GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost and GTX 650 Ti, which after the price cuts should cost $ 150 and $ 130, respectively.
The remaining two cards Radeon R7 250 and Radeon R7 240 are different from the previous ones . Both adapters are based on the GPU Oland.
Radeon R7 250 has 384 general purpose processors and 128-bit memory bus. The memory capacity is 1 or 2 GB, but in the second case, a slower DDR3 memory. In the case of GDDR5 memory, its frequency is 4600 MHz. The core operates at 1050 MHz. Video card does not require additional power and is estimated at $ 90.
The Radeon R7 240 has at its disposal only 320 general purpose processors. Core frequency is unusually small for a new card 780 MHz, while the memory situation is similar to the previous accelerator. TDP very for new items - 30 watts. Cost of Radeon R7 240 is only $ 70.
All new products support DirectX 11.2, OpenGL 4.3 and its own API AMD Mante. All new items will be available on 11 October.
