Custom Radeon R9 380X graphics cards unveiled

ASUS, Sapphire, Gigabyte, XFX and Powercolor

As AMD has officially announced its new US $229 priced Radeon R9 380X graphics card based on Antigua GPU with 2048 Stream processors and 4GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 256-bit memory interface, AMD AIB partners have unveiled its own versions, most with custom cooling and factory-overclocked settings.

While the reference Radeon R9 380X was based on a blower-style dual-slot fan and worked at 970MHz GPU clock with 4GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 256-bit memory interface, AMD gave its AIB partners a green light to come up with custom versions from day one, so plenty of partners went for it.

The factory-overclock for the GPU on these custom Radeon R9 380X graphics cards ranges from a rather dissapointing 980MHz, all the way to 1040MHz. We can also see all the well known custom solutions like ASUS' DirectCU II cooler, Gigabyte's Windforce 2X, XFX's Double Dissipation cooler and similar.

You can check out some of the pictures below and according to what we can see, the price goes anywhere from US $240 to US $260, depending on the factory-overclock.
