Hi all. Want to ask owner that use R9 series card.. I was doing burn in test in furmark, and the temp max go to 86C in within 5 mins, and stay that long in next 10mins. Fan 80%. Is it still safe?

Thinking to get Arctic Acelerror 7970 Extreme, but if 86C is normal/safe temp, might saving the moneh.

I see. Thanks for the info. Err. Im not sure about the VRM. Is it important as well?

I also notice that the review by our sifu goldfries for Asus DCUII R9 280x and furmark 15 test, temp is 86C while owikh Sapphire R9 280X Toxic and furmark 15 test, temp is 82C.

Guess i'll skip the Arctic Accelero then.

Oh. Ok. Haha. I will test via heaven benchmark 4.0, and some gpu intensive gaming like Tomb Raider and Batman Arkham Origin, and monitor the VRM temp.

Thanks bro.

Guys, is there any other software to check VRM temp? As my GPU-Z not showing the VRM. Change the dpi setting also no go.

Bro, you got 1440p monitor?

Ask you something. 1440p med/high set vs 1080p high/ultra set, which one more gooding?

I see. Coz i not yet see the 1440p in real life yet. Thanks for the explantion bro.

I think Watchdogs quite boring eh. Dark Souls II better. Purchased the game bcoz all of its hype. Bad move. Lol

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.

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.

Yah. Same like when Watch Dogs release. Got issue with AMD card. But the fix come later. So i believe in should be the same with Unity.
Ah! Can't wait my copy this Friday. The review look awesome with graphic and lovely world.

Hey man. Yah that time after finish build, i go play game senyap2. Now open back this hardware section got so much news and the new release Nvidia card. Like come out from cave. Lolz.

Ok, so i receive my Dragon Age Inquisition on Friday. Just begin to install and play yesterday.
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.

I agree on this. Price wise, AMD always better since ATI era. Can't wait for next R9 3xx series on Feb. Look very promising.
Crap, my 280x only last with me for a year if i upgrade to 3 series. Time to max out.

No, my term is wrong. Lol. I was mean the Tessellation to Med. Anyway my setting now as per below. Slightly tweak the Ultra setting with MSAA turn off. Getting 4x-5x fps, with average about 49fps. Good enough for me.

Wait, i thought R9 380x pawn current R9 290x / gtx 980. If so, then its a quite good upgrade provide the price less than 2k hopefully.
Edit: or i mess up with R9 390x benchmark. Lolz.
