ahhh well the part about Dual-X is rather misleading.

all the above will make your casing a sauna because they dissipate heat well.

the better the cooling, the more sauna your case is because heat is dissipated faster to the case.

part in bracket for the Dual-X applies to Toxic and Vapor-X

why is Asrock board bad?

I'm using them, ok also.

dude, you gotta choose your words man.

a board doesn't support it doesn't mean it's bad.

even if it's a bad choice for the person asking, that doesn't mean the board is bad.

get it?

normally sound recording exaggerated the audio level by a lot. also depends on how close is the recording device.

no, sometimes the BSOD is not defect, it's just AMD drivers are rather wonky.

I had a same machine with HD 3450 / HD 5450 / HD 7790 and HD 7970.

The HD 7970 works with the latest drivers but not the rest.
The HD 7790 needed it's dedicated driver, and will not work with legacy or latest drivers.
The HD 3450 will only work with legacy drivers.

NecroPhilia could you take note of the file mentioned during BSOD? It might be same issue as i was facing.

I solved it by disabling some stuff.

oh i thought there's BSOD.

could be just graphic card having problem. even my HD 5450 was a nutter, the most 'angin' card I ever used.

For now, ignore all those beta drivers. Just stick to the usual drivers. Does the screen look fine before driver install?

my 7970 ghz certainly did not work properly when 7790 and legacy drivers exist. It was around the early Catalyst 13 days, before 13.4 I believe.

that was just a few months ago, search for HD 3xxx drivers and you'll be pointed to legacy drivers, same goes to HD 7790.

this is not the case for the past few Catalyst revisions.

nah, the nVidia driver won't cause any issues. Windows won't have conflict on such petty matters.

I've had so many AMD and nVidia cards together on same OS. NEVER had any issues regardless GTX 5, 6, or 7 series.

The only ones giving me problem are AMD to AMD cards. really strange.

this is correct.

I did an R7 260X CFX setup http://www.goldfries.com/hardware-reviews/...a-worthy-setup/

2GB vs 1GB on the HD 7790 setup.

no difference at 1080p.

Higher resolution would require faster GPU so the HD 7850 wouldn't cut it, regardless of VRAM.

the image you quoted is of a GTX 760 la.

yup. the score is as it is.

i also was puzzled, settings unchanged but framerate is as such.

i didn't believe it to but after a few card swapping, it just seems to be like that.

I have some R9 280X to test so we'll see if the score is different. I also have newer drivers now.

Here's a list of coins for your reference.

SHA - ASIC miners
SCRYPT - GPU miners

ASIC for SCRYPT is said to be under development.

anyway going off topic.

guys, please don't stray off-topic for too far or too long - this reminder is especially to those who like to "chat".

1. They did not declare it illegal. China just restricts yuan exchanges
2. Lost about 50% of the highest recorded value BUT I guess what you didn't realize is that it already went up again, and it's still more than 1000% the value of what it was.

oh and you guys better start learn to edit the post that you quoted. If it's a long post, you can just leave the first and last line and remove the rest of the content.

FYI - Bitcoin miners DO NOT buy AMD GPU.

They did last year, and maybe 2 years ago but certainly not for the last 2 quarters of 2013. Not anymore.

Oh and let's not wish people evil just because the stock ran out and may have raise in price.

Nah, I'm just adding information that Bitcoin miners will not buy AMD GPU already these days. ASIC miners out-do AMD GPUs by far.

If anyone uses an R9 280X for Bitcoin, they could only fetch 5.40 USD per month at the current difficulty.

R9 290X maybe about 7 USD.

Casual miners hoping to make a quick buck are disappointed. LiteCoin is now half what it was about 2 weeks ago but still 8 times more than what it was many months back.

As for the cooler, I'm getting the soon.

1. DeepCool Dracula http://www.deepcoolglobal.com/Product/DRACULA/Design/
2. GELID Icy Vision Rev 2 http://www.gelidsolutions.com/products/ind...=1&cid=17&id=52

R7 260X is the commonly available on. Haven't seen any R7 260.

If you want cheap, just get a HD 7790 1GB OC. Works the same anyway.
