—    Armed with the award-win­ning, indus­try-stan­dard Gra­phics Core Next (GCN) archi­tec­tu­re and super­char­ged by Man­t­le, AMD Rade­on R9 270X and AMD Rade­on R9 280X GPUs are built for gamers who demand the best —

SUNNYVALE, Calif. — Oct. 8, 2013 — AMD (NYSE: AMD) today laun­ched AMD Rade­on™ R9 270X and AMD Rade­on™ R9 280X, GPUs engi­nee­red from the bot­tom up to enable a new era of hyper-rea­li­stic ultra reso­lu­ti­on gam­ing. AMD Rade­on™ R9 Series gra­phics cards are desi­gned for enthu­si­ast gamers who demand high-per­for­mance hard­ware that shat­ters the boun­da­ries of rea­lism and performance.

Based on AMD’s award-win­ning Gra­phics Core Next (GCN) archi­tec­tu­re, the AMD Rade­on R9 Series gra­phics cards recei­ve a boost from Man­t­le[i], an indus­try-acclai­med tech­no­lo­gy deve­lo­ped by AMD to enable today’s top game deve­lo­pers to harness the GCN-powered cores of both PCs and con­so­les.  Man­t­le deli­vers a stream­li­ned deve­lo­p­ment pro­cess and games enab­led with Man­t­le will be able to speak the nati­ve lan­guage of the GCN archi­tec­tu­re, bene­fiting from hard­ware opti­miza­ti­on that unlocks revo­lu­tio­na­ry per­for­mance and image quality.

“With GCN archi­tec­tu­re and now Man­t­le, ful­ly unlo­cked gra­phics per­for­mance and unri­va­led qua­li­ty is ent­ren­ched in the DNA of all AMD-powered GPUs and soon all of our APUs as well,” said Matt Skyn­ner, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Gra­phics Busi­ness Unit, AMD. “With our new line of R9 Series gra­phics cards, tail­or-made to per­form with the next gene­ra­ti­on of PC games, AMD has pro­ved that Rade­on™ is gaming.”

AMD Rade­on R9 Series gra­phics cards enable ultra-reso­lu­ti­on gam­ing through both UltraHD (4K) and AMD Eye­fi­ni­ty tech­no­lo­gy, pro­vi­ding indus­try-lea­ding visu­al expe­ri­en­ces for gamers play­ing cur­rent and upco­ming PC titles. AMD Rade­on R9 270X gra­phics card is ide­al for 1080p gam­ing with the hig­hest qua­li­ty set­tings. AMD Rade­on R9 280X gra­phics card is ide­al­ly sui­ted for 2560x1440 reso­lu­ti­on and loa­ded with 3GB of memo­ry, built to play gra­phi­cal­ly deman­ding upco­ming titles like “Batt­le­field 4”.
