Freesync is not going to be call Adaptive-sync.

Freesync require Adapative-Sync to work. If you read the Q&A, you'll know.

Freesync will not work if VESA did not push the adaptive-sync standard into DP 1.2a specification. AMD approach VESA to add the eDP variable refresh rate features into DP1.2a. Thus, the name Adaptive-Sync.

Anyway, i am so excited with this news. It takes only few months for VESA to approved AMD proposals. Probably the underlying tech is already existed inside eDP. Now, they need to push display manufacturer to add 1.2a into their monitor.

$2,999 Price of GeForce GTX TITAN-Z Not Justifyable: Review

http://www.techpowerup.com/200758/2-999-pr...ble-review.html

The Titan has fallen before launch... (Insert bad Titanfall joke here)

maybe it come with DisplayPort 1.2 but non (a) like my Samsung U590 come with displayPort 1.2 (sadly no a at back)

this is proof we all need AMD to put Nvidia honest.. lolz soo when u gonna built your dream Rig? come on get ur self R9 295X 2 !!

Honesty is for Red!Pricey is for Green!

When i'm rich and still alive. You'll never know when will you die.

Someone was smoking to much GREEN stuff during development of Titan-Z. Talk about overpriced garbage.

Whoa dude long time no see.

Hahahah they deserved that slap in the face. They panicked 24/7 after the R200 series got launched. Lol.

Busy playing some backlogged stuff . There's no new games recently to put my 290 to work, its getting underutilized. Console transition period, slow year for good games.

Yeah true. But you can always get a 1440p screen, turn up to 16xMSAA, and stand your 290 rip. Haha.

Hi, wanna ask regarding R9 290.

Yesterday i bought a Sapphire Tri-X R9 290, from GPU-Z (0.7.8), i saw my boost core clock/mem clock is at 957Mhz and 1250Mhz.

I search internet, i found the clock speed and naming is rather confusing. Reference 290 is 947/1250, Tri-X have 2 version, Tri-X and Tri-X OC, both cooler are same and OC version is OC out of factory 1000/1300. However i never see someone who have Tri-X with same clock speed as me, which is 957/1250. Actually what's the different between both of it? Is OC version equipped with better binned chip?

Where did you buy your Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 from?
I don't think I've seen the non-OC SKU sold in Malaysia.. but that's just me. All the SKUs I've seen are the Sapphire Tri-X R9 290 OC ones.

Can screenshot your gpu-z?

coolkwc is right. There are actually 2 versions of the R9 290 Tri-X in our market currently. OC version is 1000MHz / 1300 MHz, non-OC version is 957MHz/1250MHz.

I have noticed this in my retail shops even in Penang. It is not easily noticeable, for the OC version, there is an "OC" logo on the bottom right of the box (beside the 4GB logo).

The non-OC version does not have the "OC" logo. Photo a bit small, quoted from hikari85 FB.

At Jayacom, JB.

I'm sure mine was non-OC Tri-X, GPU-Z default clock as i said, 957/1250. Will post screenshot tonight. So far i'm happy with the card, just the core OC is not that good. OC to 1080 adi need 50mV increase. But memory can OC to 1500. Stable during Furmark burn in test.

try tomb raider benchmark with everything maxed out and fxaa.

better still if u can downsample it.

Bro, you clear my doubt...i search internet can't even found non-OC Tri-X at all.

Yup, compare to the box as shown on internet, my box is without 'OC' sticker.
