well, i just hope AMD will still be the best price/performance gpu manufacturer.. even if the price is right, 2nd hand value for current amd gpu will be insanely dropped due to the 70% of performance increase

Change side or buy console. 

Freaking Sony and Microsoft,i like The Last of Us and Forza Horizon,but only for the consoles each..

OMG!!! so we all need Freesync !!!!

seriously... i almost Never see this happen on my Gaming... a small minor screen tearing during game.. but vsync help remove it.. and  i am just afraid next driver update made all my gaming EXP to be  tearing... like the example top just cause they want to sell new tech in LCD... 

below 30fps is not tearing artifact, it is called stuttering.

when the graphics card push above your refresh rate, than it is tearing.

From what I know screen tearing can't be captured through screenshot. And it doesn't look like that either

If any of you feeling brave you can overclock your refresh rate, by using software like cru (custom resolution utility). I got mine to 75Hz, that eliminate screen tearing for me and also improve fast paced gaming

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

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. 

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 ?

why dont buy reference ? to me reference looks better for my taste

BTW, anyone with 290/290X custom coolers running card overclocked while gaming, not just benching?

Reason : Never done properly before. Want to see if I can get better fps with the games I'm playing
Risk : Yes.
Trixx : Installed but no idea head or tail how to use it. 

Most links I found about OC are from intermediate to advance level kind of talk so I don't understand anything. Those that were beginner's level was ages ago and was using different version of software than current ones.

remember, GPU and CPU have different method of application

CPU side, dot is king or line or rice grain

GPU side, youll need to apply more

sand the GPU block to the flattest you can?

not sure if it voids warranty though
