So I decided to upgrade my rig and as usual I chosed AMD for my gpu and processor. Been with AMD since the first time I build my on PC. 

Processor- AMD X4 FX 4350.
GPU- Sapphire R9 290x TriX.

Hope it will serves me well. Cant wait to finally play GTA V. 

Don't fiddle with voltage. Stock voltage would always work fine.

If the product isn't stable at stock voltage, please send it in for warranty / replacement.

Artifacts are usually memory chip related, perhaps you have something faulty with you there.

will APU benefit from DX12? I have a a10-7850k i want to see the performance increase on dx12, gaming on 720p is no issue on this chip as long the RAM is fast enough

this does not go well with AMD.. reported crashes happen more often on AMD card than Nvidia..

From your link=
Sapphire R9 Fury X 4GB RM2999 - updated
Sapphire R9 390X 8GB DDR5 RM1899
Sapphire Nitro R9 390 8GB DDR5 RM1439
Sapphire Nitro R9 380 4GB DDR5 RM1039
Sapphire R9 380 2GB DDR5 RM899
Sapphire Nitro R7 370 4GB DDR5 RM799
Sapphire R7 370 2GB DDR5 RM699
Sapphire R7 360 2GB DDR5 RM509

Yeah prices look fixed as in cartel price fixed.

The 360 has a msrp of USD110 should be around RM434 incl gst. 370 (msrp USD150) should be RM591 incl gst.

Well, you can't deny there are people tight on budget will buy them.

“We have actually just taped-out our first couple of FinFET designs,” said Lisa Su, chief executive officer of Advanced Micro Devices, during the company’s earnings conference call with investors and financial analysts.
Ms. Su did not elaborate which of the future designs the company had taped out and when exactly this happened. Nonetheless, two tape-outs mean that the company has managed to successfully design its first products with FinFET transistors. Design of an advanced microprocessor that will be made using a FinFET process technology costs north from $150 million without the cost of photomasks needed for production. Therefore, the tape-out means that the vast majority of investments in these two chips have been made.

Isn't this just beautiful?

on the reason that amd's market share is dropping in Malaysia and this causes a shortaage in stock and also quality. IT seems more RMA are being done for AMD cards.

Just for argument sake, asus makes nvidia as well, do they suffer from simillar OEM QC issues ? I am rather new to this and just want to get your point of view.

I was thinking of getting a sapphire R9 380 4gb, around RM 900+.

That makes sense.

So do you suggest I go with the R9 380 over the the GTX 960 ?

R9 390 for 300 ? I think you mean 1300.  Where did you see that price ?

SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X R9 290 4GB GDDR5 OC(UEFI) = RM1149
SAPPHIRE TRI-X R9 290 4GB GDDR5 OC(UEFI) = RM1179

Im having issues in overclocking my a10 7850k igpu  even pushing the clock speed slider up to 900mhz using msi afterburner it still shows 720mhz on the monitoring data in game.  But on furmark it shows 900mhz.

Jim Keller, former Chief Architect of Microprocessor Cores, will leave the company today to pursue other opportunities.

Well known for his work during AMD's heyday, Keller (pictured) was involved in the creation of the original Athlon architecture, K7, and then served as a lead architect on K8. After playing an instrumental role in developing the world's first native x86-64 bit architecture, Keller later joined Apple and helped develop the company's A4 and A5 SoCs before rejoining AMD in 2012 to spearhead the firm's upcoming Zen architecture.

Speaking to HEXUS, an AMD spokesperson has stated that "Jim was responsible for overseeing the teams defining the roadmaps for AMD’s CPU cores, systems IP, and server and client SoCs. "

Attempting to allay any fears over the impact of Keller's departure, the company adds that "Jim helped establish a strong leadership team that is well positioned for success as we enter the completion phase of the “Zen” core and associated system IP and SoCs."

"Jim’s departure is not expected to impact our public product or technology roadmaps, and we remain on track for “Zen” sampling in 2016 with first full year of revenue in 2017."

Looking ahead, Mark Papermaster, AMD's Chief Technology Officer, will step in as acting leader for Keller's team and will now help oversee one of the most important products in the company's history.

korang tahu x bila cpu amd baru keluar
cpu yang guna diaorg punya zen microarchitecture

Need some help, anybody encounter this kind of artifacts before? any way to fix it?

On the top left of the screen, a minor artifact. it only appear when i walk a near building/rock.

Better that way, the sockets are not only old but they're fragmented. Would be great that future APU and CPU share the same socket.
