good piece of kit

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 2 May 2015

Size Name: 4 GBStyle Name: OCVerified Purchase

just installed one of these first impression OMG THIS IS A BIG CARD make sure it will fit in your case. I have an antec 1200 case old i know but still good and this card just fits with a bit of room to spare. This card has a small overclock of about 50mgz on gpu and ram. Asus software is good nice monitoring and tweaking software all easy to install. On first use of this card had a clicking noise when under load seemed to be from on of the fans catching something, gave it a tap it went away. Was going to return it as faulty but next night gave it another go and have not had the problem again and its been over a week now can only assume that it has settled in lol. Must be something to do heat acting on heatsink and plastic shrouds and fans. Performance WOW this was an upgrade from a radeon HD5870. Noise is very low but not sure on power draw currently using 500w psu in a core i7 system with no problems. Overall very good piece of kit plays all games maxed out at 1080p with no probs. Can only give it 4 stars because of initial clicking noise but for performance and noise level will give it a 5+

Fantastic card. I tested this on batman arkham city demo available on steam. it played well. graphics are better by a long way than the xbox 360. produced high scores on the 3d benchmark test. this is a solid card. i am playing Alien Isolation at Ultra settings 1080p (could be better with a 1080p tv and higher - mine is a 720p LCD monitor from 2007. still going strong.)

I have to say this is a used card solid by Amazon warehouse. arrived well packaged. no scuffing and ugly marks. plays like it is new. i love the asus cards, they are quiet cards even when gaming. i dont overclock and have no need for it.

It has improved the visual quality of graphics on my pc by a long way. i feel like going back to pc gaming, however, i iwll buy the ps4 next year for family entertainment as my other half loves lego games and I want to treat them to blu ray 3d films.
my system is now as follows:

M5A97 LE R2
AMD 6300 6 core processor
12 GB of Kingston value ram
ASUS AMD RADEON R9 270 DIRECTCU II OC 2gb ddr5 graphics card
ANTEC 300 two all internal black case. large enough even to support the arctic a30 coolers and big cards
ARCTIC Cooling 7R2 CPU cooler.
Arctic cooling fans.
SANDISK SSD 256gb for windows 8.1 pro 64 bit
Toshiba 1tb 6gb/s HDD for storage

New Card For Me

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 1 June 2014

Verified Purchase

I pulled my faithfull Radeon 5850 from my machine to make way for this card. I am a fan of both AMD and and Asus, so this fit the bill. It's not so big so should fit in a medium size case (mines massive so no probs anyway). It used just one 6 point connector (some use two I think). It has an excellent cooling system on board, looks well engineered and fit easily and without problems. After putting it in my machine, whilst the computer was booting up and got the driver disk out ready to install. I was amazed though because I didn't need to use it to install the drivers, the comp did it all. The card was recognised and all driver files downloaded automatically. Anyway if that doesn't happen for you, there are the disks. There is an overclock tool that couldn't be simpler to use and the software and any drivers are updated automatically. Another great card from Asus. The card runs smooth and unless your a gamer that runs a 4K monitor and the toughest games, then you probably don't need anything more powerful. At the price, getting another and crossfiring the boards is an easy solution to such extremes anyway. Very happy with the purchase and strongly recommend this card.

Good card, poor instructions

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 7 January 2015

Size Name: 3 GBStyle Name: TopVerified Purchase

Have only had it for one day, but quite happy with the purchase. Gave a much-needed boost to my 5 year old system at a reasonable price. Along with upping my ram to 16gb, graphics on Elite:Dangerous went from "recommended: medium" to "recommended: ultra".

Taking one star away for the complete lack of relevant instructions. I haven't built/upgraded a desktop PC in a while, so this was my first card that hooks up to the PSU. Thankfully google eventually provided the answer, but I find it ridiculous that the "manual" was showing 5 different schematics, none of which were relevant to the card I was holding in my hands. At least the rest of the setup was a breeze, only a single restart needed (previous card was also AMD so the driver auto-detected the change).

Solid card for the price.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 1 April 2015

Size Name: 4 GBStyle Name: OCVerified Purchase

I am running an Acer 4K display with an AMD 8350 @ 4.8Ghz, 16Gb ram, PCI-E SSD. I purchased an MSI Nvidia 970 and encountered the issue where once ram usage goes over 3.5Ghz, FPS plummets whilst accessing the low bandwidth remaining 512mb. Typically this is only an issue on certain games...Watchdogs for instance will drop from 55-60 fps to about 6 for ten seconds at a time. Games like H1Z1 barely use 1.5gb of Vram, even at 4K so you will never encounter a problem on most games...for me though, it is a deal breaker. I picked up this card, the 290, and have been pleased with the results in Watchdogs at 4k. This card appears to be slower than a 970 at 1080p, the same or slightly quicker at 1440p and quite a bit quicker at 4k. Most probably down to the massive 322mb/s memory bandwidth via the 512 bit bus.

It never goes over 73 degrees in a Fractal Design R4. I have the bios switch set to performance, (slider towards rear of card). I use GPU-Z to monitor memory use, temps etc. In BF4 at 4K under Mantle it shows 3.7GB VRAM usage. The 970 I has, couldn't utilise Mantle (AMD GCN only at present) and under DX11 was using about 2.6gb Vram, as Mantle is more VRAM hungry.
