Nah, the 280 use less than 200w when gaming. Usually around 150-180, depend on the core clock.

You still using 14.2?

8mhz higher in that review.

From TH's old 7950 review. Though these card clocked at 900mhz highest but i doubt +50mhz will increase the power consumption significantly without increasing the voltage.


and GPGPU. Notice the 7970 consumed much more power?

They didn't touch the voltage though.

Some 7950/280 had voltage locked at 1.25v thus will get higher power consumption. My card 2nd boost BIOS had a voltage locked @1.25v and it's not stable, i undervolt it and work like a charm.



I limit my frame to 200fps systemwide with RTSS, like you said.. better safe than sorry.

If you guys using single GPU and playing GTA5, the modded March 11 driver by Asder00 will give you slightly better performance over the newly release 15.4 beta imo.

Ya mang, the graphic is decent for 2015 title imo.

you need to disable driver signature before installing, don't forget to use DDU.

In before PClab.pl bullshit benchmark.

Are they all using built in benchmark?
Other benchmark looks quite normal to me.

They are like the "semiaccurate" of nvidia. pun intended.

The benchmark kinda glitch out on me.
My friend's 970 also dropped frame rates while driving so it's not really AMD exclusive though his minimum is slightly higher than mine.

On what setting? My 7950 still in box.

I'm planning to change my casing to CM Haf XB Evo. Any complaint or better alternative at similar price point?

Any comparison between i3 + 960 and i3 + 285?

Or i3 + 750 ti and i3 + 270?

What is the problem?

If i'm not mistaken, FX-7500 is not an APU. You can check the GPU RAM capacity thru CCC>Information>Hardware or just run GPU-Z.

Have u try disable MSAA? Will check once i get back.

Oh, my bad. I forgot it's a Kaveri. When i see FX i instantly though it doesn't have integrated gpu.

Didn't happened to me.


Tried beside the garage and it didn't happen too. Is your CCC D3D setting on default?

You can pause the video around 0:10 for my ingame settings. I didn't enable advanced setting and CCC on default.
Maybe you can try restore CCC to default, sometime it bugged out when u upgrade driver.

Never.
14nm in 2016/2017. lel

Yup, that is slightly better than normal i think. Overclocked?

Glad i stop right after i started the hobby.

if he want your BIOS then he don't want mine.

1. Run Gpu-Z and click that button in red square.


2. Save it somewhere, zip it, upload it, give the link to him.

First world problem, most people want Vulcan but don't want to give Linux a try.

Yeah but the leaked Win10 driver give better CPU performance for me.

Vulkan took good stuff in Mantle and keep the bad stuff away, similar to DX12.

Yup, known issue for Catalyst 15.4 with GCN1.0 card.
