Msi itx 270x, 17cm, also baby backplate

[brownninja97]

So its another itx gpu, its cute yes we know, should have a kitten instead of a dragon on the cooler. Anyways its 17cm which is bloody small, its very close to the size of the gtx 750 buts its slightly bigger as it due need to cool down. 

 

Its nice that msi would include a back plate, im used to seeing a backplate on a higher end card or as a optional extra, we now need a mini lightning.

 

If you are wondering about clocks then calm down, it runs at completely stock clocks, the fan is said to be 30% quieter then reference, well anything is quieter then reference, a bloomin jet engine could rival that. that being said this cooler will not be as quiet as some of the bigger coolers, i dont need to tell you why. It also comes with all the standard stuff that you could expect to come with an MSI card.

known prices: £160

 

Is it just me or does this rival the cuteness of the coolermaster elite 110, if they were humans this card and that case would make a good couple.

all cards should have back plates atleast the longer ones seeing as they tend to bend.. good to see MSI moving towards this

[Anthony10]

No need for such small cards, I have the smallest case in the world and I can fit any card in it.

[brownninja97]

At least its not asus, im not sure why but if its made by asus it sags a lot, they must be cursed.

I'm actually quite impressed that an R9 270x was squeezed onto such a small PCB. I would have expected a daugtherboard to be added due to the small length.

I mean, it's pretty much identical to MSI's GTX 760 ITX GPU, but about £30 cheaper. Not bad

[Freaky_spider]

wait, isnt a 270X basically a 7970? damn thats impressive if you look at it this way, last gen top of the line GPU fits on a post-it card (figure of speech) 

 

im just stupid, still very impressive

[brownninja97]

crap crap crap my bad its £160 not £165

[Nineshadow]

270x=7870 rebrand, 280=7950, 280x=7970

[brownninja97]

[Freaky_spider]

270x=7870 rebrand, 280=7950, 280x=7970

no no no a 280x is a 7970. 270x is a 7870

You know what else is 17cm???     

[Misanthrope]

This is literally fucking perfect for me: I wanted a small itx style card but at a lower price than a 760

[brownninja97]

You know what else is 17cm???     

my ruler, dont ask how, it snapped one day due to the hostile conditions of my pencil case.

[7850OC]

and is smaller, more cooler, and more powerful than my 7850

 

wow  :wub:
