Radeon R5 230 Sapphire 2GB Edition Game Requirement Analysis
Radeon R5 230 Sapphire 2GB Edition is a special edition of the entry-level Radeon R5 230.
Its only relevant new feature is the increase in the operating memory clock from 533MHz to 667MHz.
Furthermore, the frame buffer was doubled to 2GB though this will not boost its performance and can be addressed as a gimmick - marketing to lure consumers into paying more for the same product.
Expect a 2% performance boost over the reference card in some games and under certain circumstances.
