when you check in the link, there's few models of Asus 280x DCUII but I believe you're using the same model as mine. Its a 2slot Asus R9-280X DCII Top right? if yes then we have to wait until mid-late november for Full Cover waterblock.

Its a good card runs hot ....... top 98 degrees max FPS on diablo 3 1080p

The plus side is the color led, it changes red when under-load.



Will try BF4 tomorrow

very very nice for both working,movie and gaming. since i running on single 7970, i tone down the AA as it helps to gain back fps alot. and at 1440p reso, everything is much more crisp and nicer.
the best part of dell ultrasharp series monitor for me is matte screen. personal preference, i cant stand gloss...not sure why.
and since alot of ppl concern about the monitor ms, well my eye can't detect anything in fps and racing game (nub/normal eye)

People say ATI card runs hot, that I agree. Never like nvidia much, Why? cost is one factor

I'd dislike those screen tearing when you are playing games like crysis or bf, the refresh rate on the TV or low end monitors can't upkeep the card out put rate's and it causes lagging.

I was thinking of DELL U2713HM 1st choice over Benq 2420T. I will decide later after paying a visit to low yatt, to check out the price differences and spec option.

Im bought the Asus R9-280X DCII Top.

When 1st time i put it in, it wont boot. Card runs fine.

Sent to the shop to take a look.
They said need to update the mobo bios.
After updated it, the pc boot up but intermittent.

Sent back to shop and now they said, my soundcard make the pc wont boot since it's not enuf power.
But im curious about that.

Im using CM Thunder M 620W.

Spec:
Core i7 3770
GB Z77M D3H
ThermalTake Water 3.0 Pro
16GB DDR3 1600Mhz
Asus R9-280X DCII Top
Asus Xonar DG Soundcard
No Optical Drive
2 HDD - 1TB WD and 160GB WD

Is it the power not enuf is the issue?

u can try to know enough power or not

try this :
use 1Hdd only
take out your sound card
use 1 pcs ram only

try boot again

^ press power button = on few seconds then it went off?
by mean boot up = unable to start pc or unable to get into window?

try clearing your CMOS. try without your sound card.
i have more fans and hdd than urs n +my psu is so kns (ciplak brand and age-5yr) but still alive. n 280X has lower V than my 7970ghz @ stock.

620 is more than enough, but you try to boot without the R9-280x.

All of that already been tested.
It wont boot as long as my SoundCard in there.

But, if i pull out the R9 280X while my sound card still in slot, the PC boot.

hmm..more weird, when i put my sound card and my old Graphic Card (HD5770), the PC can boot.

The PC just wont boot if my Sound Card and R9 280X is in the slot at the same time.

Yes it went Off

Unable to get into window, blank screen even my blackwidow not power up

Tried, and it can get into windows.

Then you SC is conflicting with the 280x. so with either 1 in the slot, your pc able to boot up juz fine right?
driver conflict? or mayb your psu has degraded.

ditch the soundcard and use onboard.

Tested BF4 on Asus R9 280x PM CrossFire, on ultra [1920×1080p]
Temp 78C, 35fps to 60fps Cap.

Lots of screen Tearing on My LED TV, will test again when I get myself a monitor

your mobo pci slot problem maybe

Wah need dual 280x to run 60fps on ultra. Should try with windows 8.1 next
