yeahh!!! BUMP for V12

Minecrafter, you don't need to quote the whole 1st post!

Well, let's kickstart this thread with this news...

Another leak of the 390X?

This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Jan 6 2015, 01:04 PM

^ i have a hunch that it will still be 28nm.


Btw, any idea how to disable link parsing? Kind screw up the 1st post.

im waiting for the 20nm

hopefully the power consumption is half of 290x.

yay free bumpy bump bump

Hope so..

Oh sry, mistook it as Vengeance/Revengeance.

Nah man.. 14nm in 2016.

hi hehe... wanna ask the owners of sapphire r9 290 tri-x,
what's ur idle and load temperature of the card?

ambient temp 33C no aircon
idle ~46C
load ~77C

http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/monste...k_download.html

check out new Benchmark.. WARNING Favour NVIDIA gpu..

Guys , how's this card? Any issue with this card? If there's any problem do I have to send it back to power color?
HD 6950

I bought HD5830 from ipmart before, no problems with the card and it's running fine.

oo... u running on default setting? hehe
mine is about like that too, load differs from game to game, i wonder why . haha

WOW RM 2.7K for R9 295X2 WHY in Malaysia Seller soo mon moon
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814202108

Hi, wanna ask for opinion,
is it okay to install thermal pads on the back of my r9 290?
i want to install thermal pads between the PCB and my aluminium backplate for my r9 290.. is this okay? if yes, anyone has experience with this?

hm i use that to improve my Notebook cpu/gpu cooling.. but no exp with Desktop gpu.. it should not be a problem as main purpose it to transfer Heat

what type of thermal pad shud i get ah? really no exp at all

here, try checking this video. though its a different card :/

My case example, I'm using EK waterblock together with EK aluminum back plate which come with thermal pad, there are 2 locations to put the thermal pad between the back of PCB and back plate, the backside of GPU core and vrm, these 2 components are generating heat of the graphic card.

wow thanks, i'll watch that


oo, i think i'll only be putting thermal pads on vrm since my core is not covered by the backplate.. thanks for the input


Edit:

hi guys, so this the back of my r9 290 tri-x http://images.hardwarecanucks.com/image//s...-SAPPHIRE-6.jpg
the place where I should put thermal pads is on the back of these vrm right? http://cdn.overclock.net/4/44/900x900px-LL...9172b_cool.jpeg

the vrm looks like those soldered parts on the back?

And do thermal pads size matters? or i can just buy a large pad and cut them using x-acto knife?

How about no 1?

No are vram, usually no much heat, front heatsink is good enough

but its okay to put on the back of it right? hehe i have a feeling i will have a lot extra thermal pads..

No harms to put at back side if u have extra thermal pad

my PowerColor 6950 recently died, lol

anyways, any game we can really test MANTLE and see the difference?

i thought ur using R9 280X ?

x
try Dragon Age Inquisition and Enable built in DebugCommand FPS.. / or Theif both support AMD MAntle and Mantle Crossfire

my post was in response to someone who was asking about 6950

yes im using R9 280x

im testing Sniper Elite3, with Mantle but dont see the difference... Dragon Age?

no 20nm gpu for 2015. Probably ever. They may skip to different node.

New leaked suggested the FIJI will be 300W TDP. If its true, it's so obvious it will be 28nm. The TDP is just

Cili Sos mana?

Update: found it, and it doesn't look like good news for me...

This post has been edited by chocobo7779: Jan 13 2015, 09:37 PM

Maybe they'll wait for the yield to get better. I don't think they'll skip to 16nm like Nvidia did.

Not surprising since I posted in previous thread that AMD taped out 2 GPU chips mid last year. One is 260+mm² and another one is a behemoth >500mm² chip. Tonga is the former and 250w Hawaii is 430mm².

hmm was hoping for 20NM with HBM memory eh.. i guess is too much to ask.. AMD R9 390x...

x
i dun want to believe this rumor... lolx but i can't accept only good rumor, must accept both.

Well,i guess 28nm..But the TDP..

300W ? pff nothing i can put 3 of that in my rig... too bad not enough space for Tri-crossfire...

x
http://hexus.net/tech/news/graphics/79489-...mation-emerges/

thats how real man should run their card!! i want lambo not prius.. bigger number more powarrrrr!!
btw its only 10w greater than 290x.. easy pizzy mizzy

300w is nothing. The most important thing is they are able to cool it down.

I Oced my 290 and it can pull over 300w also no problem running all day also.
Even OCed GTX 980 can pull alot of watts too. In gaming GTX 980 uses less power, but in CUDA apps even stock third party cards can be near 300w too


In gaming the GTX 980 only uses around 180w.


In CUDA or OPENCL, the power consumption of the third party card is 280w! Reference GTX 980 has lower wattage limit and it ran at 180 watt. Still both higher than the 165w TDP claimed by Nvidia.

Source http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia...ll,3941-12.html


This is reference GTX 980 which has lower wattage limit. Under Nvidia's own 25% OC pushing the core to 1377Mhz, mem to 1466Mhz, max boost to 1515Mhz under the same voltage. The GTX 980 uses slightly more power than reference R9 290X. Now 25% more for 165w of the GTX 980 should be 206w, but why does a 206w card now uses more power than R9 290X which is claimed to be 250w - 300w TDP card? The card here is for the reference card, third party GTX 980 will be chugging power just like r9 290 series once you try to overclock them.
Nvidia's TDP figures is questionable while AMD's TDP figures is exaggerated.
Source http://www.anandtech.com/show/8526/nvidia-...x-980-review/22

For those people who think they can run GTX 980 and GTX 970 with small PSU, they better be careful lol, especially if they get curious and try to overclock the card. They will face problems too if they try to run CUDA apps with small PSU.

The bottom line is, 300w is nothing.

am i in Nvidia threads ? lolx... feel a bit green..

wondering on AnandTech site Gpu2014 benchmark.. WHAT model R9 290/290X they using ?
x
http://www.anandtech.com/bench/GPU14/852

Usually reference unless stated.

watercool ? cause on MetroLL 1080p Very High R9 290X on bench Anandatech got 76 FPS(i wonder is it on Max or Average?).. i manage get 55+Average... and is on VaporX but Temp under 60C..

Nope, reference. Maybe AA turn off, not sure since i don't have MetroLL to test.

i think the issue is what cooling solution will AMD employ to cool it

R9 290X reference cooler is horrible. unless they make the jump to something like R9 295X or those ASUS,Giga, MSI etc coolers, 300W is pretty massive hurdle to maintain best clock performance

So they are taking the 'go big, or go home' strategy?

If my PSU cannot take the power, can I install another PSU with different wattage and power the GPU?

can but very troublesome since you need to power the gpu's psu first with another added switch or pin and then only can turn on the other psu...

Ok, that can be done.

I want to ask. If let's say a R7 240. It is 50W GPU without the need of 6 pin PSU connector.

I have A68N-5000 board with AMD A4-5000. The TDP also around 30W.

Total power tdp = 50W + 30W = 80W.

Will it work with 150W PSU running at 78% efficiency?

I saw 4 PIN connector on the board which I assume is powering the PCI-E 4X lane?

I believe its quite dangerous because TDP above does not assume MAX TDP when both CPU and GPU is 100% loaded.

So my question is, will it be more safe to run a GPU like AMD R9 280X with 2nd PSU 6 pin power?

Please help me choose:-

1) A68N-5000 + R7 240 with 150W PSU
2) A68N-5000 + R9 280X with 150W PSU + 2nd 400W PSU (R9 280X is just example. I will use lower end GPU of course lol)

Quality PSU can put out the rated wattage without regard to which rail.
For example my Seasonic X-850 can put out 850 watts just on the 12V rails. 150W PSU with 78% efficiency doesn't mean it can only put out 117W power, but means they can put out 150W to computer's components but pulls 192W from the wall socket.
If I have to choose better run one PSU only. Good 450-550W PSU is cheap now.

Cheap PSU are rated differently and usually combined wattage of 3.3V, 5V and 12V. The 12 V rails is probably alot less wattage than rated.

It's better to get higher wattage PSU because PSU degrades over time. Also the components that are rated as 30W, 50W is the average power consumption, the power consumption is actually goes up and down very fast in miliseconds. The peak power usage may go over the amount and the PSU may not be able to handle it.
I faced the same problem when I was using my old Cooler Master Extreme 2 625, it can only supply ATX rated power until 480W, and after 1 year of usage my computer always crashes even when the GPU was idling. Then I switched to Seasonic and very stable now.
I put the Cooler Master PSU on AMD II X4 635 + HD5830 and it's running fine.

Thanks for explaning the rating.

Actually my problem is I'm running HTPC and I have Flex PSU by FSP installed. I think FSP is ok brand.

Since it is HTPC, I can't really install SFX PSU with 450W rating. I can probably get a 200W Flex PSU but it is still not enough. Or maybe I can get a 200W Pico PSU running together with my Flex 150W PSU with total 350W.

with that setting i got same average fps when i set Tesselation Very high... suspicious? yes it is... ONLY time i get 62 Fps when i set Tesselation OFF then i get Average FPS improve.. but far off from their score.. how hell they able to get 76.6 FPS on reference.. is mystery.. they should show their Metro LL setting...

so this what r9 390/ 390X looks...

http://videocardz.com/amd/radeon-rx-300/radeon-r9-390x

I hope that is not the real specifications.

Just take that with a huge grain of salt...

I think they got the specs somewhere from random sites.

dont feed the rumours yoh

eh so check my bank got bonus... end this week got pay.. and 9th feb get pay... (early cause of china new year) ... so... AMD R9 3XX WHERE ARE YOU!!!!

boss worth selling gtx 970 and get AMD R9 3xx series instead ?

Guys, help meeee
i got BSoD, and i saw 'atikmpag.sys'
seems like GPU related, help me

eh.. you want me to answer you with my AMD R9 Fan brain or Fair/logic brain.. ? lolx
x
you just buy your Gpu.. GTX 970 is best bang Money/Performance Faster than GTX 780/R9 290 and make no sense to go R9 3XX when is not yet out the performance data not yet clear.. bett be happy with what you got..

are u having issues going to window ? what win ? when this happen what your doing e.g. game or watching youtube ? what version AMD CCC driver ?

i able to go into windows, mine windows 7 64bit
it usually occur during gaming, sometimes browsing.
i'm using the latest OMEGA driver.

p/s: no OC on mboard, neither GPU.

This post has been edited by matni01: Jan 18 2015, 04:04 PM

download latest DDU use recommended setting, (remove driver in safe mode) downloand new from internet Omega driver install again . i suspect a driver corruption.. good luck

whats your gpu?

my GPU is Sapphire R9 270x Dual-X 2GB

Another day, another leak?

http://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-r9-300-gpu-...chmarks-leaked/


Note: may be fake - the score is pretty much unheard of for a single GPU..

Though Chiphell can be pretty accurate in terms of rumors...

Anyone interested on a RM1200 290X Lightning?

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3341641&hl=

I take that with truckload of salt. Remember the leaked X7000+ 3DMark11 score for GTX Titan before it release?

Can't believe the price change so much after 10 months :|
Last time I bought the card for RM1.5k and it was considered a good deal for me already.

It looks kinda ugly imo
And what's with the two holes at the side?

This post has been edited by Yagami5159: Jan 19 2015, 10:25 AM

I just hope it will light up like the 295x2.
That's for the AIO tube.

how dare you call my future gpu uglY! by the way is know to be RED BEAST! not cute kitten...

http://wccftech.com/amd-radeon-r9-300-gpu-...chmarks-leaked/

here is the follow up of the unconfirm rumours...

http://www.chiphell.com/thread-1222269-1-1.html

the score is : 8907...
That card is an engineering sample of MSI AMD 8GB video card.

more details on post #14.

so does that means its a fake benchmark?

No idea... sorry.

eh i dun read chin chau chin chau please show me what it say ?

update : i just use google translate.. i still no clue what up ? so is a false result(obviously) r9 290 crX ? hmm but why low. eh
