Hey guys,

I got myself an R9 270. Powercolor Turboduo brand.

Did I get cheated? Seems like there are only 1024 stream processors instead of 1280 shocking.gif

Device ID shows 7850 bangwall.gif

That is new, anything on the box show 1024sp?

The box only says R9 270 without any mention of SP count. Even PowerColor's website does not list SP under card specs.
I've sent them a mail to see what's going on, device ID of 6819-1002 is literally a 7850....

You didn't get cheated
R9 270 with only 1024 shader processing units does exist

I'm guessing any new units of the R9 270 will be silently swapped to these chips. Or maybe I'm just unlucky.
Thought I got a bargain for RM500 but turns out this be a 7850/R7 265 in disguise....

I'd be quite crossed if I bought 270 and get 270 'lite'. If you dare you can flash other Powercolor 270 vBIOS

Yeah I feel shortchanged. Wrote to Powercolor Malaysia and international. No reply so far.
I'll probably just live with 1024 SP and be done with it.

Write to PowerColor Malaysia again
It may take them some time to respond to you, but trust me they will
Just write to them again. And try to write in a professional matter, no angry text

If they ask for your phone number, someone will be calling you soon

Yeah my previous 2 PM/mail to Powercolor has been quite calm.
This time around I decided to just post on their facebook page instead. Also quite pro written.
