Asus R9 270 Direct CU II OC Review

Sleeping Dogs started development as an original title, but was announced in 2009 as True Crime: Hong Kong, the third installment and a reboot of the True Crime series.As a result of the game’s high development budget and delays, it was canceled by Activision Blizzard in 2011. Six months later, it was announced that Square Enix had picked up the publishing rights to the game, but the game was renamed Sleeping Dogs in 2012 since Square Enix did not purchase the True Crime name rights.

This game is still a system killer at these maximised settings. We test at 1920×1080.

The Asus R9 270 Direct CU II OC almost manages to maintain 25 fps at all times, dropping once below what we would consider an acceptable frame rate. This is a particularly demanding Direct X 11 engine at these settings however.

  1. Its a nice card and I love the DC II cooler, but I think the price is a little high, even with battlefield 4.

  2. ERAN – asus are always more expensive, but they build their cards better

  3. They dont really need the 270 and 270x, just drop the price of the 270x and they could clean up in the market. too many cards right now and its too complicated.

  4. Good performance and at least the shaders are up to 1280 over 1024 on the 7850. Only thing I feel is that AMD partners will sell the 270x at very close to 270 pricing, so not much point in having both. $20 difference? who will buy a 270 – feels like the 6830 and 6850 all over again. the cheaper part never sold as retail prices were so close.
