hello i have a Sapphire Dual X R9 270 OC 2GB DDR5 my gpu has 1280 unified spus but when i checked my gpu in game debate .com database it tells that spus are 1280 but actual spu is 1089 why it is less and is it make any performance difference and why the actual one is not 1280 can any expert explain this differnece ??
why actual shader processing is less in my gpu ?

1089? They would be an even number. Always. No one is going to place one misc shader somewhere. If GPUz says 1280, then I'd go by that. I've never hid my "dislike" for sites like gamedebate or CPUboss. They only look at raw specs and not actual results, and as you just found out they don't always get the raw specs right.
no u guys dont under stand according to this site http://www.game-debate.com/hardware/?gid=1968&graphics=Radeon%20R9%20270%20Sapphire%20Dual-X%202GB%20OC%20Edition it says that my gpus shader performance is 1280 but below that it says that actual shader performace is 1089 my question is why it is less and for gpu z it shows 1280 as spu

Read the last sentence of my reply. They are wrong.
Edit: If you look at the hyperlink of 1280, you'll read that they are giving you a "projected" number of 1089. It's their way of putting all the cards on a similar scale. This is pointless and will quickly get out of hand as more card architectures show up. (VLIW5, VLIW 4, GCN 1.0, 2.0, etc.) It's supposed to help you compare cards with different internals, but I'm certain it won't help for long.

Okay, I think the problem is, you don't understand what the figure 1089 at game debate means. It's just their way to tell you how powerful your cards is. I don't think they thought it trough, because instead of giving you performance figures, they confused you.
Don't believe numbers like that in the future, especially if no one else if using them to compare performance.
Just trust your old GPU-Z buddy, or even better, the actual website for your graphics card.
