Konklusion
ASUS 270X DirectCU II TOP er ligesom andre ASUS grafikkort solidt bygget og velkølet uden at støje særligt under load. Det ligger i den fornuftige ende af prisskalaen sammenlignet med andre 270X grafikkort og leveres overclocket 120 MHz. Man går sjældent galt i byen ved ASUS og dette kort er ingen undtagelse.
Innovation/Teknologi - 4
Teknologien under den fine køler er ikke noget nyt, chippen er nemlig identisk med HD 7870. Dog gør den det godt med lavt strømforbrug, solid ydelse og 2 GB RAM.
Bundle/Tilbehør - 3
Der er det med i pakken man vil forvente, men heller ikke mere.
Design/Layout - 4
Den røde køler ser jo godt ud, kun brugen af plastik skæmmer lidt på budgetkortet. Støjen fra de 2 blæsere er minimal og kan kun anes under load, men fordi køleren ikke helt er på niveau med MSI's HAWK lander vi på 4.
Software/BIOS - 5
ASUS egen GPU Tweak software gør, at dette kort er utrolig let at overclocke, og sammen med et ASUS grafikkort får man mulighed for at kontrollere mange ekstra variabler og funktioner. AMD's standard drivere fungerer vanen tro ganske fortrinligt.
Ydelse - 4
270X er til gameren på budget eller uden så høje krav til detaljeniveauet. Så længe man holder opløsningen på 1920x1080, trækker kortet alle spil uden større problemer. God ydelse i dette prissegment.
Pris - 4
ASUS forlanger 1450,- kr. for herlighederne, altså i den lave ende af 270X kortene. Om ASUS DirectCU er et bedre køb end det MSI TwinFrozr kort vi testede tidligere på året kan jeg ikke bestemme mig for, det må din fanboyisme afgøre.
I min artikel for en måneds tid siden om GIGABYTE GTX 750TI lovede jeg at afrunde min anmeldelse af dette kort, når jeg havde testet 270X. Det lille NVIDIA kort kan købes for 1175,- kr., godt 200 kr. mindre end et 270X. Til den pris er det en tand for dyrt når man tager med i overvejelsen, at AMD kortet kan overclockes en del.
UK summary
ASUS 270X DirectCU II TOP is like other ASUS graphic cards solidly build and well cooled, without being especially noisy during load. It is placed in the sensible end of the price scale compared to other 270X cards and is delivered with a 120 MHz overclock. You rarely go wrong with ASUS, and this card is no exception.
Innovation/Technology - 4
The technology under the fine cooler is nothing new, the chip is actually identical with HD 7870. But it is doing a fine job with low power consumption, solid performance and 2 GB RAM.
Bundle/Accessories - 3
You find what to expect in the box, but nothing more.
Design/Layout - 4
The red cooler looks fine – only a bit spoiled by the use of plastic on this budget card. The noise from the two fans is at a minimum and is just noticeable under load. But because the cooler is not quite at the same level as MSI's HAWK, we end up with a score of 4.
Software/BIOS - 5
ASUS own GPU Tweak software makes this card extremely easy to overclock, and with an ASUS graphic card you get the possibility to control many variables and functions. AMD's standard drivers work as usually excellent.
Performance - 4
270X is for the budget gamer or for those without too high demands for the level of details. As long as you keep the resolution at 1920x1080, this card will run all games without major problems. Good performance in this price segment.
Price - 4
ASUS is demanding DKK 1450 for the goodies, thus in the lower end of the 270X cards. I cannot make up my mind as to whether the ASUS DirectCU is a better buy than the MSI TwinFrozr card that we tested earlier this year. It must be up to your “fanboyisme” to decide.
In my article about a month ago on GIGABYTE GTX 750TI, I promised to conclude my review of this card after having tested the 270X. The small NVIDIA card can be acquired for a price of DKK 1175, which is about DKK 200 below a 270X. At that price, it is a bit too costly when it is taken into account that the AMD can be overclocked considerably.
