The AMD Rade­on™ R9 270 GPU joins the AMD Rade­on™ R9 270X, R9 280X, R9 290 and R9 290X gra­phics cards, all desi­gned for enthu­si­ast gamers who expect next-gene­ra­ti­on hard­ware that can shat­ter the boun­da­ries of rea­lism and performance.

“The AMD Rade­on R9 270 GPU con­ti­nues AMD’s tra­di­ti­on of deli­ve­ring world-class per­for­mance, fea­tures and mul­ti-moni­tor sup­port at an incre­di­ble value,” said Matt Skyn­ner, cor­po­ra­te vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Gra­phics Busi­ness Unit, AMD. “With Man­t­le, excep­tio­nal per­for­mance and ulti­ma­te gam­ing expe­ri­en­ces are syn­ony­mous with AMD Rade­on R7 and R9 Series gra­phics cards. Once again, AMD pro­ves that Rade­on™ is gaming.”
