VTX3D Radeon R9 280X Boost Edition, 3072MB DDR5, mini DP [VXR9 280X 3GBD5-2DHEV2]

The GPU is clocked at the VTX3D Radeon R9 280X with up to 1000 MHz maximum boost and the memory at 3000 MHz ( 6000 effective) . The RAM is lush three gigabytes in size and connected via a 384- bit interface .

The bandwidth in communication between the graphics card and motherboard or CPU falls from high , because the VTX3D R9 280X uses the current interface standard PCI Express 3.0 , thus - with suitable residual hardware - the bandwidth over PCIe 2.0 to 16GB / s doubled.

The VTX3D R9 280X relies on DirectX 11.1 and controls monitors to a DVI and a HDMI connector or two mini display ports , where one or more corresponding displays at the same time ( 3D ) can take over reproduction thanks to Eyefinity and CrossFireX . Power is supplied via an 8 -pin and one 6-pin PCIe connector . For the operation , the manufacturer recommends a power supply with at least 500 watts of power.

In order to exploit the full potential of the card in the future , new drivers should be (formerly ATI) or VTX3D downloaded and installed at regular intervals from AMD.
