XFX Radeon R9 and Radeon R7 Graphic Card Lineup Leaked

There are several Radeon R9 and Radeon R7 series graphic cards which XFX has been working on and a few of them were pictured yesterday at an event held by AMD in Australia. Unfortunately, unlike the Sapphire lineup, no additional specs sheet was available so its hard to tell what clocks would the graphic cards will be running at.

XFX Radeon R9 280X Lineup

The card would be clocked at 1000 MHz at base and 1050 MHz with GPU Boost while the memory would be clocked at 1500 MHz or 6 GHz effective clock speed. XFX has prepared the new Double Dissipation model if this card featuring an cool new shroud design, better and custom designed PCB along with faster clock speeds out of box. The model would retail at a price of around $309.99 US.

Just like the Radeon R9 280X, XFX would release two models of the Radeon R9 270X – the Radeon R9 270X Ghost would come with Battlefield 4 but would feature the older Double Dissipation cooling design whereas the Radeon R9 270X Double Dissipation would come with the revised version of the Ghost 2.0 cooler but won't feature the Battlefield 4 bundle. Both cards would hit the market at prices slightly higher than their MSRP of $199.99 US.
