What Graphics Card Do I Have?!
Let me start of by saying, the title is misleading, it is indeed.

I know how to find out graphics card, through Device Manager, DxDiag and 3rd party tools, here is the tricky part. When i use Device Manager and DxDiag, they both show that my graphics card is "AMD Radeon (TM) R9 200 Series", now i used a certain 3rd party program, it is made by SystemRequirementsLab.Com ( the guys behind "Can I Run It" ) and that shows my graphics card as a R7 260, but as i remember, i bought a R9 something X, i'm uncertain if i got a 270X or 280X and i would like to find out to be certain.

So, how do i find out? Any help is appreciated.

It shows it as a R9 270, but i'm pretty sure i got a X, guess i was wrong.

use gpuz
http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

http://www.hwcompare.com/16552/radeon-r9-270-vs-radeon-r9-270x/

main diff is the shader speed
270 = 900mhz
270x = 1000mhz

and core name
270 = Curacao Pro
270x = Curacao XT

Yea what he said ^
The best way is to get the core name and speed.
They renamed a lot of cards recently and my two 7970's now show up in GPU-Z as R9 200 series.

It's just weird, i'm positive i got a 280X or 270X but it pops up as 270 :/ Guess i have a 270 then.

Generate and paste a GPU-Z validation link.

My 7970 lists as an AMD Radeon R9 200 / HD 7900 Series (Engineering Sample - WDDM v2.0)

http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/details.php?id=999wq

Rebranding is as follows:
7870/7850 -> R9 270
7870 LE ->R9 270X
7950 -> R9 280
7970 -> R9 280X
285 -> 380
290 -> 390
290X -> 390X

its far from being a random website just because you arent familiar with it doesnt make it random

EVERYONE in the hardware realm uses it or something similar

Not to sound mean but if it's that big a deal to find out what it is crack open the case and have a look, more than likely the inside of your case could probably use a dusting anyway.

Ps, nothing wrong with GPU Z, top right there's a Lookup button push it if you don't like what it says open the tower.

Pss, hmmm, got necro'd June 2015!
