Mine only OC'ed to 70Hz, it does slightly improve input lag.

Twisted like how?

Garbled image centered in the middle and big black borders. Fuzzy image too.

Upon further testing, the new driver is another keeper for me.

I had trouble with AC:Unity after switching to 290x where the GPU usage won't go over 90% and average FPS only around 40s which is similar to my old 7950.
I did a clean driver install twice and that didn't fix it but this 15.3 driver almost fix the problem. Now my GPU usage is >90% most of the times and average FPS improve to 60-ish(50-ish on super crowded area).



Another noticeable improvement is for Project Cars. Now GPU usage also >90% where previously hover around 45%-60%.


I thought that only happen to CRT monitor.

What's your CPU?
My CPU usage always hovers at 90+% when I played it last time

I'm using a Xeon E3-1230v2. Normally the game only use 50% across all physical cores for me.

they're coming.

Haha nice

don't look attractive also. boycott amd.

Rebrand ain't something new what...

Now what's left is proper segmentation in terms of price and specs, corresponding to Nvidia, then it will be good.

oh okay so RE used/re brand Gpu chip.. with a minor improvement.. if price remain low(or same) and performance a bit improve i don't see the problem... it made sense.. R9 390(x) is not re brand +new memory tech eh i dunno if Titan X wouldn't be challenge

eh i wonder if bios flash work to turn R9 290x into R9 380X

so bila nak bagi jadi CFX ?

wanna ask Sapphire Radeon R9 290 OC Tri-X 4G at rm 780 left 1 year warranty worth to buy ?? anyone try unlock to 290x ?

Holy shiet so cheap now. So worth it. Imagine it is only slightly slower than GTX 970 but performs better at 1440p and 4K.

Mine can't unlock.

Totally worth it. No you can't unlock to 290x.

Better ask for additional personal warranty though for a week or 2 in case something wrong with the hardware but hard to detect on 1st test.

Modded driver that enable VSR and Framelimiter, use at your own risk. Some claimed VSR kinda worked on older card (GCN1.0).
You need to disable Driver Signature before installing or use Test mode.

You need to check it yourself. Go to this link:290>290x
Lots of info in the thread on how to check and unlock your 290.

Boss just want to ask how to get project cars? U running beta version ? Steam only says pre order, want to take out my g27 again hope its still working retired from racing a long time already

if i take sapphire reference card can it be unlock ??

is not necessarily.. need to check first whether it can be unlock or not.. refer to the previous post for more info.
my advise is don't take the reference model.. even if it can be unlock, the heat and noise will still bugging you like crazy..
just take the 290 trix.. at that price, its a steal! the performance different is like 3-6% between 290 and 290x. overclock it a bit and you'll get 290x performance.

Help funding the project, but SlightlyMad already reached their goal so you can't help fund the project anymore. Right now either you wait for full release or **** ****** *****.

You can't unlock 290 to 290x anymore and never buy reference unless you planning to watercool it.
