okay done some testing on the powercolor 280x turbo duo, no rattling fan which is good, but the coil whine omg, its so terrible doh.gif doh.gif doh.gif any advise?
*
coil whine issue will go away after some time (or doesnt)

so far i dont think there is any solutions for it

last time my PSU had coil whine, it went away after couple of weeks

give it some time and see how it goes

you may try RMA if you like, its possible

Deciding on the 750Ti or R7 265..but looking at the benchmarks,R7 265 is better on most of the games. hmm.gif 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. flex.gif

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

this is actually interesting if paired with Mantle hmm.gif

imagine all the headroom from CPU due to Mantle being utilised efficiently to record in-game footage

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 tongue.gif

as for quality wise, Nvidia Shadowplay uses the same encoder, i find the quality to be more than adequate

Guys is it normal for a MSi R9 280 to go 77c when playing on Ultra?
*
why not? my GPU runs at 80C on high end graphics games as well

77C is considered acceptable

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

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

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 shocking.gif

even playing anime/movie on MPCHC with Madvr and im reaching 61C concerns me alot

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
