Truly AMD/ATI That look like a faulty GPU. Time for a new one i guess.  » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «   |

Just tried latest beta driver with Far Cry 4, yeah the improvement is noticeable. You need the latest update though.

QUOTE(failed.hashcheck @ Nov 20 2014, 12:44 AM) Question: For the price of R9-280x, better add a little bit more budget for a cheap GTX970 "reference" like Zotac/Gainward/Leadtek.I got this power consumption concern; my rig build is aiming for powerful build at lowest possible power consumption. Its better to just buy better chip or factory oc one? (Dont tell me to do self oc yada yada. I dont have fancy time for that) Lets say Sapphire Toxic R9-270x vw plain R9-280x I know the performance between these two doesn't match, but which will offer better performance/watt? |

QUOTE(creative zn @ Nov 26 2014, 12:05 PM) I just read up few page back that MSI Lightning 290x going crazy at RM1299. Damn! That almost the price i paid for my 9 month old MSI TwinFroz 280x which is at RM1199. Unity optimization is shit, i play on absolute minimum @34fps and max out ultra(FXAA) on 28fps.  Hope my card can last another year. Currently playing AC IV also need to tweak out some setting. Not to mention next gen title like Unity, COD AW. Now waiting for my DAI and see how it perform. This mid card only can play mid-high setting nowadays.  No problem with COD:AW unless you go nuts with the AA seting. I can play DA:I on mix of High-Very High with 60fps average. FarCry4 on High or Ultra if you can accept fluctuation of 35fps-70fps |

QUOTE(creative zn @ Nov 30 2014, 11:59 AM) Ok, so i receive my Dragon Age Inquisition on Friday. Just begin to install and play yesterday. Why lower the Texture? It doesn't affect fps that much... and quality apparently. Maybe i did this wrong. Hmm.. With the latest Beta Driver 14.11xx something I've getting about 36+- on default Ultra setting, and sometime drop below 30. The Raptr Optimization is more worse. Getting merely 32fps with drop below 30 at most. So i end up playing with Automatic setting. All were set to High, but only Texture is Medium and AA is off. That setting can get me average 60fps. I thought i will not feel a different between 3x fps with 6x fps. Turn out, i did notice the different in gameplay. No wonder everyone keep hunting 6x fps. Texture = Medium » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Texture = Fade Touched » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This is my settings, FPS around 53-65 ish@1050mhz core  |

QUOTE(shakku @ Dec 1 2014, 04:39 PM) Seriously... if you want to compare power efficiency... sell your dGPU and get a console instead. He just want temporary subs for the 290 before he move back to his parent house. Selling his GPU and getting a console right now is not a wise move.You're looking at least 100-ish watt for console compared to 280x at 250w. |

Fanboy brace yourself, AMD Catalyst OMEGA is coming with VSR. lel
QUOTE AMD has announced a major overhaul of their Catalyst graphics card driver software today, adding new features, improving performance and fixing a large number of bugs. The 'special edition' driver, which is the result of months of work, is one of the biggest AMD has released. The Catalyst Omega driver boasts some serious performance improvements in many hardware configurations due to a more efficient design. AMD states that you can expect up to 19% more performance than the previous driver (Catalyst 14.11.2) when running games on high-end graphics cards, and up to 29% more performance on APU-based systems.   Sauce: AMD unveils major GPU driver update, Catalyst Omega |

QUOTE(terradrive @ Dec 8 2014, 02:34 PM) Thanks, I will try it out. Usually caused by PowerTune fluctuating the clock/volt. Try disable ULPS 1st and disable Hardware Acceleration in Flash settings. What browser u using? If it's still the same then I will probably RMA this card and get the GTX970 ... The most annoying thing about black screen is that it even happens when I just browsing the internet PM me if u selling it reaaaaally cheap. |

QUOTE(Unseen83 @ Dec 9 2014, 07:18 AM) on search mode in google lead me to this.. hm what you guys think ? ? I noticed that in some review sites but not all. Maybe they need to do that so the new card will look like an upgrade rather than a sidegrade.  |

Tested Omega driver in a few games, slight improvement in overall fps and some open world game "feel" much smoother, might be placebo but i know what i see and feel. Gonna try to reinstall GTA:ELC and see if it playable now with my quaddie.
The biggest improvement with this driver is on Assassin Creed: Unity, what used to run sub 30fps average for me now runs around 40-50 and sometime 60 with Ultra High Texture and Enviroment Quality + SSAO + High Shadow + FXAA. Previously overclocking in ACU only give 1 or 2 fps but now it scaled accordingly. I'm gonna try Arma 3 tomorrow and see if the GPU usage improved.

AMDMy, give this man two 290x. my Diablo III become so sluggish with this driver. I also donno whether it's driver issue yet, have to roll back and see how. QUOTE(TheHitman47 @ Dec 10 2014, 01:15 AM) all R9 will benefit from the new omega driver. Hopefully they will fully support the older GCN1.0 card, i wish it's not a "hardware limitation" problem. From what i've read in some forum, only the R9-285(latest GCN) support 4K VSR, the 290s only support up to 1800p and the resolution selections is very little.about VSR, AMD should support other cards in the next Catalyst Driver update This post has been edited by Acid_RuleZz: Dec 10 2014, 06:07 AM |

QUOTE(Minecrafter @ Dec 10 2014, 09:08 AM) All R9? I think AMD mentioned in one of the Omega Driver video that support for older card will come later. You can try look here. I thought the R9 285 and 290 series? Or that is the VSR thingy?Forgot already.. I'd rather get new card,even though the price for the cards like 280Xs are nice.. Unless i'm 18 n above. |
