We start off 2014 the same way we finished off 2013: Working our way through the massive number of video cards that we've received since the launch of the R series from AMD. Not only has AMD attacked the new series with a vengeance, but so have partners...
Coming in at $229.99 at the time of writing, the PowerColor R9 270X PCS+ 2GB sits in the middle of the pack when it comes to overall pricing. We've got a few cards that are more expensive, including the Devil 9 version of the card from PowerColor, which...

We're not particularly fond of AMD's reference Radeon R9 270-series cooling solution. Fortunately, most of the company's board partners have their own heat sinks and fans. We take 10 cards and measure their clock rates, thermals, and acoustics. Because...

Over the past few years, there is one video card company that had really caught my eye with a couple unique products. PowerColor introduced the Devil 12 and has followed up with various Devil cards that have been really sharp. It's always exciting to see...
Now that all of our testing is finished up, we can look back at the PCS+ R9 270X's performance and say without a doubt that it held its own. When it came to in game and synthetic benchmarks the PCS+ performed in line with the comparably overclocked R9 27...

The least expensive R9 270X on Newegg is…well, this one! At $199.99 , it's 10 bucks cheaper than anything else with the same out-of-box overclock. I've seen a couple reference design R9 270X cards (except for the cooler) sell for the same price or even...
