hi, new user here
previously all desktop and laptop run nvidia GC
new rig finally give AMD a chance, so far so good for my r9 280

How much did you bought it?

Which 280? Can run GPU-Z and run built-in render test and check the core clock?

no idea as I bought the whole rig, and bargain with the staff
so the price was discounted, before discount is RM 749

sapphire r9 280 dual x
where to run built in render test ?
I can't find it
as for GPU-Z and core clock, refer attachment

Welcome ! ! awh men! you should get Tonga or R9 285 ! or R9 290 serires.. but i think MR Terra asking the total price you pay for RIG

Whats wrong with getting the 280 man? It still give good price/performance and that extra 1GB Vram definitely gonna help in recent games.

Just press the ? Button. Nvm i just want to check the base clock.
Any problem with the card?



Somehow i cant multiquote when using hp even in desktop mode.

The R9 280 is still a good card for 1080p,personally,i'd go with R9 280 over R9 285,mainly because of the extra vRAM which might help in playing games which eats a lot of vRAM and price. RM140 difference just for lower power consumption and tiny bit better performance isn't worth it IMHO.

Hands itching already to know the specs and performance?

new tech in Tonga or R9 285 process four primitives per clock cycle and has roughly 2 – 4x the tessellation performance of the R9 280 AND There’s a new pre-scaler that improves the quality of high ratio downscaled media and the chip can upscale / downscale to 4K in real time.. or oh only 2GB vram.. Tongo don't have 4GB version ? oh Than should get R9 290 Series.. 4Gb is 4GB lolx

I haven't seen an R9 285 with 4GB of vRAM.

R9 290X Lightning..

just read reviews of the Lightning... gosh that card is humongous and weights heftly!!!!!
and it also eats 3x slots

i think the Sapphire Vapour X or Tri X is more "moderate" when comparing price and size

hahaha is okay, my budget is limited, can't afford r9 285
spend too much before CNY

so far no issue
as for multiquote, my phone able to do it even in mobile version

hi guys, new sapphire 7970 reference (i like reference design) owner here, any comment on this GPU ? My expectation it would able to run unity high settings no problem =X

Take my mo- HAND NOW!

AC Unity?I don't think the HD7970 will have much problems. The game is badly optimized..

Also,your APU will cause bottleneck,so high settings is a no-no.

emh the sapphire update the Tri-X card again ...... this time 290x and 290

upgraded to Two 8-pin power connectors

More OC capable???

You confirm it's new?
Pretty playable in Unity but not 60fps playable.

hi guys, i mean new owner @.@ not new GPU, that gpu is quite old already @.@ now the successor is R9 280 wasnt it no ? anyway i mean what do i expect to get from my rig settings for Unity and Bf 4 ? Thanks =3

HD 7970 = R9 280X
