QUOTE(Minecrafter @ Jun 11 2014, 08:55 PM) Normal ke?Good IMO..   I'll make my card cry once i get the build at the end of the month..and post it to the Unigine Valley..?Thread.  nah Furmark is pointless actually unless you wanna test stability  even so, better use Unigine Heaven. Furmark is seriously demanding whats yer future card?

QUOTE(Minecrafter @ Jun 11 2014, 10:08 PM) Lol i forgot what was it called. Deciding on the 750Ti or R7 265..but looking at the benchmarks,R7 265 is better on most of the games.  If i opt for the latter,i can get 2-3 free games though due to the Never Settle..?Saw it on IdealTech's FB.  R9 270  get 3 games too

QUOTE(Sentinel92 @ Jun 17 2014, 12:16 PM) What brand? If it's normal brands like Asus, Gigabyte, MSI or Sapphires then go see the local distros. Zotac ask cyntrix. Gainward and Leadtek ask lingloong who is the local distro. Powercolor go Feiton. If it's EVGA or Galaxy you're out of luck. ASUS and Giga dont entertain international warranties last i recall its always specific to the location theyre purchased from

Twitter: https://twitter.com/radeonpro/status/479796227593482240this is actually interesting if paired with Mantle  imagine all the headroom from CPU due to Mantle being utilised efficiently to record in-game footage

QUOTE(1024kbps @ Jun 23 2014, 12:37 PM) If you mean the h264 hardware encoder, it been inside AMD/NVIDIA GPU for age already, same for Intel too. It's just hardly any software using(and usually not free). It's usually much faster than software based, but with sub par quality lol. which is why i said interesting cause its free now  as for quality wise, Nvidia Shadowplay uses the same encoder, i find the quality to be more than adequate

QUOTE(fizzcola @ Jul 2 2014, 04:23 PM) Oh okay, i thought it was gonna explode or something sorry ya newbie here :-). Any solution for cooling it? nah, GPUs are rated to run around 95C and even so, the built in measures will protect your card from overheating or even reaching that temps in the first place any solution? try directing more air flow towards it or download GPU softwares like MSI Afterburner to tweak the fan speed as per your liking

QUOTE(alfiejr @ Jul 15 2014, 02:09 PM) Is the Asus R9-290X Directcuii good? any experience user around here? or should I get the Asus R9-290 directcuii instead.. performance wise, good cooling perf wise, bad the DCU II cooler is designed for Nvidia chips and ASUS didnt bother changing the cooling design the hot AMD chip barely touches most of the heatsink, which resulted in not so efficient cooling perf. there were some reviews on this problem on several websites it could have been changed already, but im not sure

QUOTE(Sentinel92 @ Aug 4 2014, 08:48 PM) My 290X is 60c on idle even under water and hits 80 when i open chrome. It wasn't like this before 14.7 got installed. It was even 90c when i am not doing anything when i switched the DVI cable to the bottom one. My 4770K is cosy at 34c tops idle. Dafuq. 60C on idle, i'd already uninstalled my drivers immediately  even playing anime/movie on MPCHC with Madvr and im reaching 61C concerns me alot

QUOTE(Sentinel92 @ Aug 28 2014, 07:45 PM) Ok, 290X has been running at 1100Mhz Clocks and 1300Mhz memory. 50-51c on BF4 Ultra Settings 4xMSAA. (1440p@60Hz) Any point overclocking it? Never really OCed much before. Need some guidance. just push it to its limits on stock voltage first. then see how it goes if you want more juice for your graphical demands
