2 Aug 2020 - Graphics card reviewed

While some games have more powerful requirements than this GPU, the Radeon R9 270 Club3D 14Series Edition Crossfire is only really challenged by the most demanding games released today, but normally it is more than capable of running games with a stable frame rate at 1080p. DirectX 11 gaming system requirements will be met by this gpu.

Here is a quick game performance synopsis for the AAA games played in 2020. In particular we focus on how well the Radeon R9 270 Club3D 14Series Edition Crossfire runs at Ultra graphics settings and what frames per second it is getting at 1080p, 1440p and 4K monitor resolutions. In comparison to the game recommended requirements of the 1000 most demanding games played today this PC hardware can run 183.

Running at 1080p this card gets a strong frame rate from Valorant with 447 FPS on Ultra. Then we take a look at Grounded which returns a reasonable 53 FPS. Another title that we looked at is the popular Cyberpunk 2077 which we predict will get a weak 18 FPS.

We move on to 1440p, and tested Valorant which delivered strong FPS results. Here are the graphic presets - Low: 900 FPS, Medium: 709 FPS, High: 477 FPS and Ultra: 341 FPS. Next we have Grounded running on Radeon R9 270 Club3D 14Series Edition Crossfire which gets L: 106FPS, M: 83FPS, H: 56FPS, U: 40FPS. And for performance contrast the popular Cyberpunk 2077 is predicted to get L: 36FPS, M: 29FPS, H: 19FPS, U: 14FPS at 1440p. 1440p gaming on the Radeon R9 270 Club3D 14Series Edition Crossfire is more than capable at running this screen resolution. 1440p Ultra across almost all modern games is going to be fairly standard with this GPU. We would consider moving this hardware up to 4K screen resolutions for PC gaming today.

How many years will the Radeon R9 270 Club3D 14Series Edition Crossfire graphics card play newly released games and how long until you should consider upgrading the Radeon R9 270 Club3D 14Series Edition Crossfire in your PC? There is around 6-12 months of top end gaming left in this card, at which point its graphics card replacement time, assuming the Radeon R9 270 Club3D 14Series Edition Crossfire is part of your PC gaming machine.
