QUOTE(Najmods @ Mar 30 2015, 10:51 PM) Yup 100% agree. I hate those synthetic load especially furmark. It gives strain to the graphics card, crazy amount of strain that no other games put that much load on it. I can't even run furmark more than a few second it's bizarre that people put an hour load on their card. What are people try to achieve?? Unigine Heaven Benchmark is good enough to test a card. If the card works it will pass the benchmark, simple as that. Just play some games and it'll be sufficient. If there is any issue it should pop up in game. For Furmark, it's good for testing out the PSU whether it can handle load. I only use Furmark for 2 purpose 1. Test out the graphic card's cooling system. 2. Load PSU. |

R9 295X2 and GTX 980 with me and yet none of them are running! Really need to get them in place.
Oh and yes, R9 295X2 is plenty powerful these days and at RM 3k+ or so I think it's pretty good, though you can get GTX 970 SLI and probably outperform it. |

QUOTE(Acid_RuleZz @ May 4 2015, 10:47 AM) What PSU you going to use to test the 295x2? Btw did you bought the cards for testing purpose or someone send it to you for review purpose? Didn't buy. I've been running it on 650w / 700w PSU. FSP Aurum models. |

It's not uncommon la, HD 7xxx series to R9 2xx series it was only the R9 290X and R9 290 that are new stuff while R9 280X are previous generations renamed.

We should just wait for benchmarks.
They really have to improve the power consumption aspect of the graphic card though. |

I'm surprised to see that 390X = 290X but with much upgraded speed. It's amazing that a GPU that once had problem standing against a 970 is now contending with the 980.
My take is that the changes are more than just the specs, firmware and all. Some people said their 290X flashed with 390X firmware gets some speed boost. |

QUOTE(terradrive @ Jun 23 2015, 04:26 PM) I don't think that 4GB will pose big problem anyways. Majority of cards is still GTX 980 and below. There's still 2GB cards in the wild. not a big problem, just that more VRAM does give you more performance if the game requires.Here's my review of the R9 390X. http://www.goldfries.com/hardware-reviews/...ic-card-review/ The R9 390X was able to beat the GTX 980 on Shadow of Mordor. Games like GTA V for example, if you set it to 4K reso with AA settings, it could tough 6GB VRAM usage. Single GPU on 4K for GTA V doesn't work well of course but when run multi-card config the VRAM will be good. |

Yes, problematic. It's the type of fault that does not hinder operation in total.
I am able to conduct benchmarks at Full HD, with GTA V being the only one that crashed regardless how I tried to get it to work. It doesn't work at 4K. Getting replacement unit ASAP. |

QUOTE(genjo @ Jun 24 2015, 09:25 AM) @GoldFries , between 980 and r390x which one you recommend? Price to performance ratio is in favor of R9 390X.Tri-X at RM 1.8k+ vs cheapest GTX 980 (GALAX) at RM 2.4k+ Quite a huge gap, with R9 390X on 8GB RAM. Even better on multi-card config. GTX980 if you do folding@home. If you can afford a GTX980, perhaps you should consider top up a bit more for 980Ti. |

R9 390X is impressive in price to performance ratio, and the 8GB VRAM makes it a viable option to run CFX.
Total cost still below RM 4k. Far cheaper than running GTX 980 Ti SLI. GTX 980 Ti SLI is limited to 6GB VRAM. |

QUOTE(terradrive @ Jun 24 2015, 06:13 PM) I think value wise the r9 390 is even better. Just slightly slower than r9 390x but rm400 cheaper. Should be easily overclocked to 1100 to 1150 mhz to match 390x's performance. You can but it's still loses out on the Stream Processor count. Would be like how the 290 vs 290X was. I have 390 with me too. Haven't fire it up. |
