I've not come by many people, other than empire23 and myself, that's capable of (or more like INTENTIONALLY) generating more than 200W per second power draw.

You look at most people's usage, they'll probably game.

Gaming for 5 hours? pfftt, that barely loads the CPU and GPU to reach the full power draw of each, to the power draw fluctuates.

To give you an idea, my Core i5-4670K without GPU idles at 40w power draw, on 100% processor load (video encoding) it draws 125w from the wall. Running cards like say the Fury X or Radeon R9 390X on Furmark stress test drains some 360w from the wall. If you add Full CPU load to it it'll probably reach 420w on the wall.

Again that 420w is from extreme circumstances where all items are stressed.

LOL if people think that putting 4 high-end graphic cards and 1200w PSU immediately raises your electricity bill to the roof. It doesn't.

If you see your electricity bill raised - monitor your air cond usage perhaps?

Power usage in my house can be chalked down to a few things. Namely my fridges, storage water heater and aircon.

Mostly computers don't take much up power even while gaming. The heaviest load I've had was actually running ANYSYS 15 FLUENT and MECH using my badly programmed personal pipe mixer benchmark (running all models, on 1024 steps, full parallel), computer topped out at 550-ish watts for an SLI-ed GTX-980 (haven't tested on the TIs) measured via Fluke 43B Power analyzer.

At the highest tariff of 33 sen per kWh. An absurdly specced computer running at 500 watts running for 12 hours a day at full blast will cost 2 ringgit a day. But most gaming computers top out at about 250 watts, so you're looking at 1 ringgit a day realistically.

Correct, your power draw for 2x SLI GTX980 at 550w-ish looks correct (including the processor on load).

Ditto to the estimated monthly cost for the computer too.

bro how to check my pc's power draw is there a sware i can use?

My comp runs 24/7. It doesnt really affect my electricity bill Unless

I am doing a lot of stress testing 10-20 hours a day on my overclocks which sometimes takes up nearly 20-25 days.. then the bill will be up by RM100-150.

I use hardware.

Will get back to you on this one.

on game there minor game performance decrease.. currently tested on Theif/ Tomb raider.. pic available on AMD radeon threads.. hm so Fury X got minor downgrade ? but no worried i am KNOWn to be AMD Radeon FAN!

add-on: where my free game.. ?

So dang cool finally I can have VSR on my R9 280X (aka 7970), previously wasn't supported
Desperately need more work-area on my noob 1080 screen... not the best solution. Convert to 1440 got a little clarity problem on Windows environment, but good enough.
Gaming still looks really sharp, but then I haven't tested in much games, only tried Path of Exile which my card have no problem to drive.

Just noticed my 3d software seems to lost it's AA display option, but guess it's not a biggie...

1080p works just fine.

4k monitor for work, I end up squinting a lot!

usually I do not go whining or frustrated on such thing, but after waiting 7 months for a WHQL + FRTC......

I need 5 hands to facepalm AMD driver team FRTC on 15.7 is only supported DX10+ titles. Not to mention it is forced only on a global setting. u cant specify which game to use it which not to use it.

So either i enable it play DX10 titles & run Dx9 game on vsync or I off it back to use Radeonpro.

*and here i tot I could finally get rid of using Radeonpro.... but nope......I still need it for DX9 games, because AMD thinks DX9 games are minority market share....

80% of the games & software are still DX9
Seriously what the hell they are thinking for supporting DX10 and above only? It is the lower end DX9 games that need fps cap, not the DX10 ones.

Anyone's comment about AMD Llano CPU?
I am using it.

What do you think of it?

OK noted.

Thank you.

Your free game?

And so the FURY is out.

We should see the on Malaysian shores soon too.

Any idea when roughly? I hope they are priced reasonably. Nvidia is currently being aggressive with its pricing.
