yes, just download msi afterburner(or you can use sapphire trix) and move the core clock up on the 270 to match the advertised core clock on the 270x. you might need to add a little bit of voltage too. use unigine valley/heaven benchmark to test stability. honestly you can likely just max out the voltage setting and keep moving the core clock up until you see artifacts in valley/heaven or you loose/crash the video driver, or until you are hitting 80c. if the card starts throttling you will need to up the power target 2-3% at a time until the card stops throttling.
