"I post on experience. Experience of using an AMD R9 290X, and unable to satisfactorily run 4K without serious repercussion on its lifespan and/or power requirement/heat generation from the rig."

Yeah, we weren't talking about that but performance.

Pure performance, yes. But air-con kena sejuk la bang. I had to wear my jacket just to run that AMD rig of mine without feeling like I'm sitting next to a stove. Even with my rig being liquid-cooled. Even that also still cant run 4K adequately across all my games. Haih..............

I'm calm. BTW, forum doesn't convey tones properly. If you think I'm not calm then you're seriously misunderstand there. Like I said, read & understand properly.

About the swapping textures & graphics when VRAM maxed out, the card won't be able to do it smoothly, hence the stuttering. Then again it depends on the games codes but generally, it's not smooth.
Again, please read carefully. Let me try this again. "It's probably astonishing to AMD users here ..." <-- This basically inflaming people. If you worded differently, only contains "since neither of their previous flagship cards are able to do so before the arrival of Fury", I wouldn't call you troll.

Please keep in topic. If you look back, we're talking about DA: Inquisition, not any other games. We're not talking about your experience with other games.

Ahh! I'm done. It's time for me to prepare sahur for my family.

That's the thing, you yourself admit that forum doesn't convey tones properly. Perhaps "tone down" on the assumptions a bit? Helps on character building during the puasa month. icon_rolleyes.gif I probably need to use a more descriptive word than "probably astonishing" just so that egos doesn't get bruised around here. Probably.

Although I think I felt the sting harsher than any ego bruised around here, I had to spend that much on an AMD CrossFire rig just to find out that it's not viable for 4K across all games. Let's see, spent monies versus bruised pride and ego. *makes weighing motion*

Back to topic, DA:I runs with "feels like 60+fps" on a 5K 30Hz settings, at Medium. I reckon if anyone can be satisfied buying a RM2800-2900 card to run it at those settings, it's a go for Fury X for them. Not for me though. To each his own.

Now......about that CrossFire support on DA:I though, anyone ran CF on that game on recent AMD Catalyst drivers? Wonder if things are even gonna change at all with Fury X when it comes to drivers optimization. hmm.gif

Nah, I don't make assumption. All of my reply to your posts based on the words & sentences you used, not tones. No ego involved either. I'm also not fanboy. If I do, I probably get in fight with a lot of people that doesn't pro AMD here. I have been back and forth between nvidia & ati before. The fact that I have one over the other in my rig doesn't mean I'm pro to any camp.

-snip-

When you said & I quote "The point to take here, it is normal to get 30-60fps at 4K and above running DA:I on Medium on flagship cards. It's probably astonishing to AMD users here since neither of their previous flagship cards are able to do so before the arrival of Fury. But it has been that way with its competitor's card, so nothing really much to shout about really. *shrugs*" From the very beginning I tried to highlight "AMD users here" but you always missed that. I don't mind if you're saying previous flagships cards before Fury unable to play DA: Inquisition at "felt like 60FPS" compare to their competitor cards from nvidia. Not really bother at all with that claim. If AMD that bad, no argument from me. What bother me is "AMD users here". If you read the sentences, it feels like you're accusing all AMD users here don't know any better. That is to me is inflammatory message hence why I accused you being a troll. Even after a couple of times trying to explained why I accused you trolling, you still failed to get it. I hope you understand now. Probably next time tone down any kind of inflammatory message?  icon_rolleyes.gif

Good morning, puasa ek hari ni?

Notice also I added "probably"? My way of saying that it may be this something new to the AMD camp, it may be not, I dont hang around these parts of the forum to know the general nuances on how folks here feel what is normal to get at 4K at Medium settings. I love that you're being the white knight around here saving the "AMD users here" from ceding to my supposed veiled attempt at allegedly trolling them. It feels like a breath of fresh air for someone to come to their rescue. But from the way everyone else here posted (I hope), and the lack of responses from others here (gasp!) about my post, I'd like to think (bersangka baik) that they get what I meant about the astonishment post, but only you who got hung up over it, while the rest shrugged it off as a passing observation based on past experience. I wonder why. hmm.gif

I can say the same here as well, I tried to explain to you what I meant and yet you cant take that explanation as face value as my observation and experience as a previous AMD flagship GPU card owner and user, and took it as trolling. I know sometimes, with the AMD being in the dumps and being subject to derision and contempt from the other camp, that it is easy to come to the conclusion that it's trolling. I dont know how to assure you that I am not: perhaps I should build another AMD flagship rig to prove that I am on the same side as you? That's a very expensive way of proving someone you're with them and love the same thing they do, even I dont spend that much on my past girlfriends.

Haihhh......... perhaps tone done a bit on the estrogen level of yours lah, being overly sensitive is a bit feminine liao. We need more testosterone level around here to keep up the manly excitement level for the Fury. icon_rolleyes.gif

Thumbs up, pros and cons, detractors and defenders. In the end it's your hard earn cash and what you chose. RM2800 is a lot of money to part with to not consider running it at the highest end of your display capability. Even if that means 4K at Medium. To each his own, some can stomach Medium, I personally can't.

Typing this on a smartphone so paragraphing phrases and text against white knights on a small screen keyboard isn't my cup of tea. Tea soothes the tea too they say. Make full use of your Fury folks, I hate to see it go to waste when a flagship held in reign at only running Medium. It's like driving a Ferrari in KL traffic jam, it'll look nice and all, but ultimately a waste of its potential.

Gotta go, setting up the Nvidia Shield Pro Android TV console Mr. Postman just delivered. Just in time for Batman Arkham Knight release to Gamestream over to the living room. icon_rolleyes.gif
