I got so many AMD parts la. R9 295X2 pun ada.

No give up. GTX 970? Nooooooo it's everything from GTX 950 to GTX 980 Ti.

Of course, I do have R9 Fury around as well so yeah boleh tahan la, still got AMD stuff. No abandon them, I think they have great products but just need to improve on certain areas.

In other countries AMD is doing quite OK, you can see they have no issue recommending AMD parts.

Come Malaysia, all shy away AMD parts, not because they're bad but because of the price.

AMD Zen coming on oct 2016 ?? i can't wait to get new Mobo and AMD ZEN FX CPU !!!

http://www.channelpro.co.uk/advice/9797/am...enge-to-intel-2

AMD IPC improvement of 40% from current Piledriver = 166ipc (Zen)
Intel IPC improvement of 10% from current Skylake = 194ipc (Kaby lake)

Im still excited for AMD though

eh is not yet out... not sure if that is true... but i still going to upgrade my CPU/MOBO/RAM when AMD ZEN out that is for sure... !

Here we over price conscious

Except

Iphone we budu budu willing 2 throw money and reject china phone hahahaha

Hi i got a question, everytime i updated the latest AMD driver Shadow of Mordor keep getting artifact? Now im using 15.12 and there is no artifaction. Can somebody explain why is this happening? I'm using R9 280

I highly doubt it's a driver issue
I've had 280X,380X,390 & 390X, never had artifacts when updating the driver

Try these:
1. Check the temperature. Use HWMonitor. Paste a screenshot of HWMonitor in here so we can help you identify if your graphic card is overheating. State the brand and model of your R9 280 too
2. Try moving the graphic card to a different system using a higher wattage power supply then install the latest Crimson 16.4.1 right away, not Crimson 15.12. If the artifacts is still there, that means the issue is with your graphic card

Okay im gonna try the first method first.

Shadow of Mordor


Firewatch


after the i updated with the latest driver their were no artifact in SoM but there were some in Firewatch.

Your temperatures is fine
So now you need to test your graphic card in a different system, preferably a desktop PC with a higher wattage power supply

The reason why you need to test in a different system is because of these possibilities:
1. The graphic card itself may be faulty
2. The graphic card is not getting enough power from your PSU, depending on how old your PSU is
3. Your motherboard is semi-faulty

Remember to always use DDU to uninstall the old driver before installing the new driver

By the way, what's the brand & model of your graphic card?
And how old is it?

fizzcola what cooler are you using on your i5 4670? It's kinda hot
My i7 4790s is a lot cooler. None of the cores ever exceed 50°C
Though my CPU is cooled by Corsair H110i

And no, my computer is not running in an air-conditioned room

So far I've never the need to use DDU, never had issues.

Also artifacts and power supply wattage are not related.

- Constant artifacts - card issue.
- Non-constant artifacts, can be the software part, not necessarily the driver. It could be the game. Can be the card showing signs of wearing out too.

I'm using MSi R9 280 3GB, been using it a year and a half.
This is not my first GPU, the first one got RMA because it
was making my screen turn yellow/purple.

Im currently on stock cooler, it's 37C in Ipoh, my room gets really hot.

Ya its a non constant thing but im just curious, worried my warranty will end and i don't have time to RMA it.

Can send for RMA now la since it's happening.

I read on some sites that DX12 favors more cores over single threaded performance (running the Ashes of Singularity DX12 benchmark), which means that AMD is going to benefit from this. But I'm wondering how many cores can it benefit from until there are no more performance gains. Does DX12 benefit from Hyper-threading? Can DX12 use 6+ cores? When does Zen get released? Help?

Definitely not kickass. You'll need at least an FX8350 to be current. Truth hurts. Even AMD demo their Radeon on an Intel rig.

It's true. The better FX do have higher IPC and cache, even better when overclock. It's a free space heater too.
AMD beast is the FX9590, yet AMD demoes the Radeon Pro Duo on an Intel X99 platform. There's a need for a better CPU to unleash the Radeon. The FX isn't it.

i totally agree fx is too ancient to compete, FX 8 series cant barely fight an i5, on cfx configurations fx just cant cut it
