Good overclocking potential, Overclocked out of the box, Active DisplayPort adapter no longer required for EyeFinity, AMD Radeon in Space game bundle included, Support for software voltage control, Single-monitor idle power consumption improved, Support f
Quite slow as performance has not improved, Not very power efficient, Could be quieter in idle and gaming, Elpida memory not optimal for overclocking, High Blu-ray power consumption
AMD's MSRP for the R9 285 is $249. We expect the Sapphire R9 285 Dual-X OC to retail for around $260. Good overclocking potential Overclocked out of the box Active DisplayPort adapter no longer required for EyeFinity AMD Radeon in Space game bundle includ...
Coming in at around the $500 mark, the CrossFire R9 285 2GB Dual-X OC setup isn't a cheap one. Just like the R9 280 3GB CrossFire setup, performance here is extremely strong, even in comparison to a heavily overclocked R9 290X 4GB. Going through most our...
Abstract: AMD recently released a new GPU in the R9 285 which offers new features and a cheaper price with a bit of a performance bump over the R9 280. We got one Sapphire sample from AMD have called Dual-X OC R9 285. Lets find out how well it works...
Abstract: Mejorando el potencial de lo que ya nos ha ofrecido AMD en esta interesante serie de tarjetas gráficas, AMD introduce una nueva integrante a su ya gran familia R9, la AMD R9 285 que en esta oportunidad llega de bajo la mano de Sapphire en el modelo Sapphi...
Muy buena relación de rendimiento por vatio, Silenciosa y fresca, Consumo contenido, Apta para jugar a los últimos títulos del mercado, Precio (229 euros)
Sapphire debería pensar en utilizar un plástico menos endeble para sus disipadores
AMD ha cumplido lo prometido Las Radeon R9 285 tienen un consumo inferior y se calientan menos que las Radeon R9 280, teniendo un rendimiento igual o superior y además a un precio solo ligeramente superior Hablando de precios, no hace falta ni mencio
Bruit dans les jeux, même si on est loin des pires du genre, Overclocking d'usine vraiment maigre
Une Radeon R9 285 qui séduira vraisemblablement par son prix plus que par sa prestation en matière de nuisances sonores. L'overclocking d'usine est par ailleurs anecdotique, bien qu'il soit possible d'augmenter soi-même les fréquences. LES NUMERIQUES ...

Le meilleur compromis actuel en 1080p, Performances, Refroidissement, Design Sapphire, Tarif
Une consommation qui aurait pu être meilleure
Nous ne nous attendions pas à une telle carte, et clairement, la surprise est bonne. En effet, le monde du hardware attendait surement une nouvelle carte articulée autour de l'architecture Hawaii, avec un budget moins élevé que la série, mais AMD revient ...
Abstract: Live aus dem PCGH-Testlabor: GTA 5 PC ist das Top-Thema dieser Woche und natürlich stecken wir mitten im groß angelegten Techniktest des Rockstar-Blockbusters. Nachdem wir uns die Nacht um die Ohren schlugen, war eine geeignete Benchmarkszene schnell gefu...
Gute Leistung bei Full-HD, Moderne GPU-Technik, Kompaktes 2-Slot-Design, DirectX-12-Support, Relativ leiser Lüfter
Nicht geeignet für 4K-Gaming
Die leicht übertaktete Sapphire Radeon R9 285 Dual-X OC basiert auf AMDs neuer Tonga-GPU, die Features der starken R9-Serie mit einem fairen Preis kombiniert. Im Test zeigt sich die Grafikkarte flott bei Full-HD-Auflösung, aktuelle 3D-Spiele stellen für ...

Die Radeon R9 285 macht einen guten Job für relativ wenig Geld, in Full-HD ist die Leistung tadellos und liegt locker über einer Geforce GTX 760 sowie einer R9 270X. Doch die Spiele-Leistung befindet sich größtenteils auf dem gleichen Niveau wie die der R...
