ASUS DirectCU II R9270X-DC2T-4GD5 Radeon R9 270X 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 video for PrPr/Sg?

My computer-builder is making me a new box ... i7 & associated goodies. He's suggested the following video card ... it rates very high over at Tom's hardware at the time, but does anyone have any experience with this card? I'm a one-man shop working mostly in PrPro & Speedgrade ...
Asus DirectCU II R9270X-DC2T-4GD5 Radeon R9 270X with 4gb of 256-bit GDDR5
Any ideas?

Well here we go on Premiere Pro CUDA vs OpenCL debate.  Today I ran the CC 2014 (Premiere 8.0.1.21) comparison of the R9-280X and the GTX 770 SC.  Here are my results:
"25","103","27","502", Premiere Version:, 8.0.1.21   GTX 770       907 seconds
"25","117","48","502", Premiere Version:, 8.0.1.21   R9-280X        906 seconds
The first numbers are the Disk I/O tests and have no bearing here.  The second number is the GPU accelerated H.264 timeline and you can see a small difference in favor of the CUDA card, incidentally the un-accelerated times for CPU only are 907 and 906 due to our +/- a few seconds Windows time base of a 1 second clock
The real test of GPU acceleration is the third set of numbers from our MPEG2-DVD export of AVCHD video a major difference of 27 to 48 seconds.  This is slightly better than my CC test which was 27 to 52 seconds, hence the comment that it was only half as good
I chose the R9-280X as being the closest specification wise to the D700 and the D500 that I could obtain.   If you decide to go with the R9 series I did notice that with the H.264 timeline which has three 4K clips that it uses much more video RAM that the CUDA cards do for the same exercise.  My R9-280X had only 3 GB of RAM but I have no way of knowing that if that was a limiting factor.  My  GTX 770 had only 2 GB and it did not use all of that at any time

  • MSI Radeon R9 270X Hawk - Screen corruption

    Hello,
    I dearly ask for your help, I have an issue with my MSI HAWK Radeon R9 270X, after using my computer for a while the screen on the primary/secondary monitor will become unreadable(see the first link), If I switch the monitor off via Catalyst Control Center the screen corruption will appear onto the  other monitor. Maybe the newer BIOS would help, I have the same issue with another MSI HAWK R9 270X. I didn't have any problems with my former video cards (Geforce GTS 250, GTS450, Radeon 6850 and Radeon 7850).
    I tried both 13.12 drivers as well as the newest betas 14.1 ,the only difference was the first target affected, on 13.12 the corruption would appear on primary monitor whereas on 14.1 it would affect the secondary one.
    Also occasionally I experience the screen flicker issue as well, maybe newer BIOS could solve both of them.
    My system specs:
    Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 with 2104 Bios version
    4x Corsair XMS 2000MHz 4GB
    Thermaltake Evo Blue 2.0 750W Power Supply
    MSI Radeon R9 270X HAWK - Serial Number:  602-V303-02SB1310007935
    Monitor#1 - IIyama ProLite X2377HDS
    Monitor#2  BenQ FP73E S
    Both of them connected via DVI
    Here is a screenshot of the problem:

    Can't download the vbios from that site you linked to.
    None the less >>this<< is the latest vbios
    TV303MH.131 is normal vbios, TV303MH.141 is LN2
    Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
    Then unpack the previously provided archive (131_141.rar) and put the included file (TV303MH.131 or TV303MH.141) on that stick.
    Rename TV303MH.131 / TV303MH.141 to 131.rom / 141.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also included in the archive on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
    Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 131.rom (or 141.rom) [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.

  • AMD Radeon r9 270x + Premiere CS6 support

    i want akcellerate premiere with my gpu (asus radeon r9 270x) but in project settings i have this
    how i select my gpu ???

    Simple. Premiere Pro CS6 (Windows) does not support OpenCL at all for GPU acceleration (or if that support is in the program's code, it is disabled internally). Premiere Pro CS6 supports only Nvidia's CUDA protocol for GPU acceleration.
    And based on Bill's tests, the high-end R9 280X with OpenCL enabled in Premiere Pro CC is currently slower than a GeForce GTX 750 Ti with CUDA enabled. If on the other hand Adobe makes OpenCL GPU acceleration available to Nvidia GPUs (currently, OpenCL is internally disabled with an Nvidia GPU installed, making only CUDA available), the R9 270X would be clearly faster than almost all of the Nvidia GPUs when OpenCL is enabled on both cards.

  • How many Sapphire Sapphire RADEON R9 270X can i install in my mac pro 2009?

    How many of the graphics cards can I install in my mac pro 2009? Sapphire Sapphire RADEON R9 270X
    Thanks

    Why? do you use FCP-X? that will benefit from two. Also gaming in Windows where you can use Crossfire
    You have two 6-pin power feeds so you will need a small 450W PSU - those come with two 8-pin and two 6-pin.
    Those can often fit in the optical drive bay and cost $25-75 range.
    "500W" is NOT for the card! that is the minimum PC PSU only!
    when buying look for card that uses only two 6-pin and not an 8-pin power.
    75W for the PCIe slot, and 150W from two 6-pin cables, most GPUs fall into the 200-250W at maximum stress levels8-pin is basically two 6-pins and 150W feed
    > we CrossFired a pair of Radeon R9 270s in our 2010 Mac Pro tower. Under Windows 7 64bit Ultimate, it registered 145 FPS in the Diablo test.
    http://barefeats.com/tube06.html
    Keep in mind that the Mac Pro tower can't feed enough power to the dual 980s, dual 290Xs, or dual 7950s.
    We used an auxillary power supply to compensate.
    For the hard core GPU rendering, there are external expansion boxes with their own power supplies.
    In an earlier article, we featured the Cubix Xpander which facilitated the connection of 5 GPUs to the Mac Pro tower.
    If you favor an AMD GPU like the Radeon R9 290X, MacVidCards can modify it to run at PCIe 2.0 bandwidth in your Mac Pro tower.

    December 28th, 2013 -- Does Final Cut Pro X 10.1 render faster on Mac Pro towers with Dual AMD GPUs? What about Motion 5.1?
    Things to keep in mind:
    The Radeon R9 280X we used was 'un-flashed.' It booted OS X fine but there was no startup screen. Also, when we checked the speed of CPU-to-PCIe-to-CPU communication, it appeared to be running in PCIe 1.0 mode instead of PCIe 2.0. However, unless the GPU intensive app saturates the PCIe 1.0 bandwidth, it will not run any faster in PCIe 2.0 mode. http://barefeats.com/tube12.html
    Which is one reason why you might want to buy pre-modified cards from http://www.macvidcards.com

  • I have an 20 inch Imac 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and I want to introduce Final Cut Pro X into the machine, can I change the Vieodcard ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB, into a more suitable videocard? Or is that not possible?

    I have an 20 inch Imac 2,4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and I want to introduce Final Cut Pro X into the machine. Can I change the present Videocard ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB, into a more suitable videocard? Or is that not possible? I have upgraded the memory to 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.

    The GPU in a iMac is NOT upgradeable.
    You should check to see if your model of iMac meets the minimum specs to run FCPX.
    I believe that your GPU is NOT OpenCL capable, and hence not supported.
    Even if it works, you would probably get marginal performance.
    What you can do is download the trial version and see how (and if) it works.

    Hey Luis. I not only remember…I still have mine (OS 9)!  Works perfectly well…for some things; just need to be selective about what I ask it to do. (Also have its big brother Pismo running Tiger, which is still an extremely competent machine.) When I take them out of their cases, I'm still amazed at the G3's build quality.

  • MSI Radeon R9 270X GAMING 4GB and GOP UEFI vBios Flash?

    I'm thinking about getting a MSI Radeon R9 270X GAMING 4GB for my HTPC since it's kind of shorter and was wondering if MSI provides a GOP UEFI flash for it or if it's capable of doing so?
    Thank you.

    the card has 2 VBIOS's and some have one that is Legacy and another that is GOP already (others have a Legacy and a LN2) so its a 50/50 if it has it out the box!
    if it doesn't there will probably be one available as the Rx - 2xx have been around a while now!

  • Sapphire Radeon HD 6990 4GB GDDR5 good?

    Hey work the Sapphire Radeon HD 6990 4GB GDDR5 with my motherboard MSI 770-c45?
    is the card for hardcore gaming?

    Of course that $800 card is for UHC gaming.
    With CPU considered, rather get 6790 with a decent PSU, and save the rest of the money.
    Cheerz.

  • MSI Radeon R9 270x 4 gb Help

    Hey guys!
    The other day I got MSI Radeon R9 270x 4 gb to upgrade my fairly old PC. I've been gaming on it for about 3 years.. When I connect the card with the two 6 pin cables the fans starts spinning
    but my computer wont boot. Any suggestions?
    I've been thinking about updating my BIOS but I can't seem to find drivers for my motherboard.. And I have no experience updating BIOS either :(
    Any help would be much appreciated!
    My specs:

    Motherboard: MSI X79A-SD40

    To figure out what bios version you have, >>use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<. After starting the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher it will automatically detect your board's current bios and save the details in a file on your desktop called MSIHQ_INFO.txt. There you can read up the exact bios version. Quote this details to check if there is a new version.

  • Dell XPS 8300 & AMD Radeon R9 270x

    Hey there Dell Community! This Christmas I received a Radeon R9 270x to replace my AMD Radeon 5700 HD Series.
    Unfortunately, after multiple tries I cannot get my new Graphics Card to work. Upon installing the graphics card, the fans spin, the lights turn on, and the everything else works. However, the monitor does not display anything, the keyboard does not turn on, and neither does the mouse.
    I have gone through 3 different PSU's now, and none of them have worked. Also, I have tried updating the BIOS, but it seems that the last time DELL updated the BIOS was in November of 2011 even though the computer was released in 2011. I am beginning to get very frustrated as I thought the card was faulty, so I returned it to get a new one. Upon doing so, and installing the new card it still did not work. 
    I do not quite understand why my computer will not work, and why there have been no recent BIOS updates. 
    Is there anything I can do to get this graphics card to work? I am very disappointed that I cannot use my computer after a family member spent a large sum of money to get me a christmas gift.
    The specifications of my computer are..
    Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40 GHz
    Dell OY2MRG Motherboard
    8 GB RAM
    Windows 7 Home Premium
    The graphics card I received is a Diamond Radeon R9 270x
    If someone can help me with some troubleshooting, or give any suggestions in what I can do, I would be greatly appreciative. Thank you.

    I see... I'm going to buy a new mobo and PSU today and chuck them into the box. Hopefully that will fix the problem. If not, might have to get a new case too.. Lol

  • AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 2GB GDDR5 available for upgrade?

    I bought my iMac in store and it came with AMD Radeon HD 6970M with 1GB. Then I saw that the 2GB version of this card is availble online only. I want the 2GB card bad. I see that apple sells video cards for older verions of the iMac. Does anyone know if there is a way to order the 2GB card for the mid-2011 i7 iMac?

    Changing out the Radeon 6970M 1GB for a 2GB card will not void the warranty.  Changing the cpu will.
    Really.
    Have you read the warranty? Specifically, check (g) which appears to be applicable to a different graphics card (as well as (f)  and (d) which may also be applicable):
    (This is an excerpt from an iMac hardware warranty for the US):
    This warranty does not apply: (a) to consumable parts, such as batteries, unless failure has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship; (b) to cosmetic damage, including but not limited to scratches, dents and broken plastic on ports; (c) to damage caused by use with another product; (d) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, liquid contact, fire, earthquake or other external cause; (e) to damage caused by operating the Apple Product outside Apple’s published guidelines; (f) to damage caused by service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not a representative of Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (“AASP”); (g) to an Apple Product that has been modified to alter functionality or capability without the written permission of Apple; (h) to defects caused by normal wear and tear or otherwise due to the normal aging of the Apple Product, or if any serial number has been removed or defaced from the Apple Product.
    It is irrelevant whether or not I've done a teardown. What is important is that the OP now has the information necessary to make an informed decision. With that, I am done here.

  • I have a blacklisted graphic driver (radeon 1950x pro) with no available update -- suggetions for a work around?

    I gave a blacklisted graphics driver for radeon 1950x pro (ATI) that has no available update. From what I can tell, because my driver version are not supported I am suffering from 'glitchy' performances, especially in flash-based websites (eg: the game Zuma Blitz suffers highly from what appears frame-rate issues).
    Any suggestions?

    Some websites are 'glitchy' so there must be some impact vs the two versions. For example, a simple flash game like Zuma Blitz suffers from what appears to be frame-rate issues. While 3.6.x does not.
    Youtube even is glitchy now. Google's maps. Ect.
    And before it's suggested, I have updated flash to double check that wasn't the issue.
