Club3D debuts its new Radeon R9 280X and 270X graphics cards:
Yes, this is the press release for the new Club 3D Radeon R9 280X and 270X graphics cards. But let’s start with a round of applause for the outgoing HD 7970 and 7950! Since their introduction almost two years ago the HD 7970 and HD 7950 have been on top of the GPU food chain and, as a result of the recent price repositioning, are still very capable performers offering great value for money.
But now it’s time to announce their successors in the high end, enthusiast segment. A new era in gaming has begun and gamers who demand the best deserve a new class of GPU’s. These GPU’s will carry the R9 label from now on. When you see an R9 card you can easily distinguish it as an enthusiast product. AMD RADEON IS GAMING
