Combing excellent cooling and overclocking performance, the MSI R9 270X HAWK is the next graphics card you need. This card is built around 1280 stream processors, with 2GB/256bit GDDR5 memory clocked at an incredible 5600MHz effective memory frequency. With the new Microsoft DirectX 11.2 support, it produces amazingly beautiful graphics and lifelike environmental interaction in your games. Moreover, games enabled with the optimized Mantle speak the language of GCN architecture to unlock revolutionary performance and image quality. Active Phase Switching (APS) intelligently adjusts electricity supply to save energy. Military Class components, with advanced Twin Froza IV thermal design, allow you to game with full confidence. An array of advanced AMD technology – including AMD Eyefinity, AMD HD3D, and AMD CrossFire – offers you more than one way to elevate your gaming experience.
Active Phase SwitchingMSI’s Active Phase Switching increases efficiency by disabling unneeded Power Phases in low power demand situations.
ADVANCED THERMAL DESIGNThe Twin Froza IV thermal design delivers best-in-class cooling capability you can rely on in demanding use. Dual 10cm PWM fans with Propeller Blade technology generate more airflow than traditional fans. Airflow Control technology deflects more airflow directly to the heatpipe, and increases the area of the heatsink.
MILITARY CLASS COMPONENTSMilitary Class 4 is the next step in high-quality components. The Hi-c Cap, new SFC, and Solid CAPs make sure that your graphics card runs more stably under extreme conditions. This graphics card is certified for MIL-STD-810G standards to ensure the best stability and quality.
Triple overvoltageTriple overvoltage support allows adjustment of GPU, memory, and PLL voltages via the Afterburner, so that the full potential of the graphics card can be released. The V-Check Points feature permits easy GPU, memory, and PLL monitoring via a multi-meter.
MICROSOFT DIRECTX 11.2 SUPPORTAMD Radeon R9 280X video card supports the new DIRECTX 11.2 which brings a host of new features to improve performance in your games and graphics app. The DIRECTX 11.2 offers HLSL shader linking, Inbox HLSL compiler, GPU overlay support, DirectX tiled resources, and more. Bring new levels of visual realism to gaming on the PC and get top-notch performance.
AMD Eyefinity 2.0 technologyAMD Eyefinity 2.0 Technology makes up to six independent display outputs simultaneously for an expanded and immersive field of view. It supports stereo 3D and universal bezel compensation.
