If you buy that card, i hope you enjoy some of it's features like the latest one below.

QUOTE(sai86 @ Mar 17 2016, 03:42 PM) Vega yes, 290/290X is still good to handle high settings for now even for me at 1440p. i think it can last another year until Vega announced. unless Polaris performance increase compare to Fury is significant and cheap at the same time. Hopefully polaris 10 will be $329. Because AMD had been hinting about this minimum entry price for vr for quite a while now. $329 fury x performance and cool and quiet, tergugat hati oh

Fury-X performance with better overclockability and thermal at below RM2k.

To the R9 Nano users out there, does your Nano ever experience thermal throttling? How's the fan noise to maintain max performance (without thermal throttling) in our hot weather? After reading hardocp review 1 & review 2 , I'm disappointed. QUOTE Do note, even with the cooler temperatures the video card still cannot maintain a flat line of 1000MHz due to power limits. The TDP is the limiting factor, not temperature. This is what we have learned from this. This post has been edited by Skylinestar: Mar 19 2016, 08:59 PM

Stock Power Limit & TDP can cause throttling even if temp is low. Just increase power limit.

QUOTE(kizwan @ Mar 20 2016, 01:01 AM) Stock Power Limit & TDP can cause throttling even if temp is low. Just increase power limit. Yeah because i saw few reviews show that by simply raising the power limit to +50 can hold the clock or even a slight overclock pretty well.   QUOTE If you plan on doing any overclocking, you will have to increase the card's power limit or the card will always run below 1000 MHz. All our OC testing is done with a power limit setting of +50%, the maximum, to avoid the way in which AMD's card limits power draw.
Maximum overclock of our sample is 1060 MHz on the GPU, a 6% overclock; GPU overclocking potential is quite slim. Memory doesn't overclock much better, reaching 565 MHz, a 13% increase. The biggest performance gain is achieved by increasing the power limit as additional clock increases only yield small performance improvements.

http://www.hardocp.com/article/2015/12/01/.../2#.Vu3_BVIpqwYLooks like the Nano can only achieve the rated clock speed at 100% fan & +50 power boost. This post has been edited by Skylinestar: Mar 20 2016, 09:45 AM

I thought the card should automatically ramp up the fan to 100% to keep the 75c temperature limit similar to Hawaii 95c? QUOTE(pjsplayez @ Mar 20 2016, 11:46 AM) how ur nfs fps performance with new 16.3.1 ? Didn't notice any significant performance different, i'm starting to think my CPU kinda bottlenecking it. No plan to upgrade to Skylake with current pricing, hopefully with Zen the price will drop.

I'm also waiting for zen, sometimes i really wanted to get second gpu but my mobo does not support it.
Sigh when i bought that time low on money, then the next month i got like extra 9k rolling in zzz. If not mmg i7 and z87 liao

Mine is technically an i7 bro, slightly slower than i7-3770 but without iGPU. Problem is that many games didn't benefit from HT. http://ark.intel.com/compare/65732,65719
