Okay, this is interesting.
Since editing Hawaii is BIOS possible now, i volt mod an MSI R9-390x Gaming BIOS to have higher min voltage which previously i have problem with random blackscreen on IDLE because the min voltage is too low for my chip too handle.

I ran Firestrike 3 times for each BIOS.

MSI 290x Gaming BIOS modded to have lower minimum voltage | Slight overclock to 1070/1375
Gpu Score=12855 | 68c Max temp | 1.2v Max voltage | 59c VRM1

 
MSI 390x Gaming BIOS modded to have higher minimum voltage | Slight overclock to 1070/1375
GPU Score=13190 | 65c Max temp | 1.25v Max voltage | 61c VRM1


Can anyone with 290x run Firestrike with 1070/1375 clock speed and post your GPU Score?
I can't seem to install 15.7 when using 390x BIOS, don't know if AMD silently blocked it so i use 15.200.40 beta driver.

The 390 series seem to have bigger voltage range compare to 290 series. 

p/s: ignore my VRM2 temperature, it have a dud sensor.

Thanks, maybe Win10 boosted my score a little.

I can't seem to tame this MSI 390x BIOS which is a shame because the memory timing is really good, the voltage spike up to 1.25v no matter what max voltage i put in DPM7.
Always get TDR when the clock fluctuates between IDLE-UVD or maybe this beta driver is the culprit or both.

How to edit the fan curve?

Yup, already tried that last week but the BIOS didn't work for me. GPU-Z show nothing and i can't install any driver. Similar thing happened when i tried XFX BIOS.

He specifically state that the BIOS is for Hawaii XT A0 (ASIC Rev. C9x) MLU Bios for MBA C67101xx board designs and have this logo near PCI-E connector.


Didn't bother to check mine.

Your link for the fan editor is broken btw but already got the file after a quick workaround. Thanks.

Fury Nano will be release next month, hopefully Fury production is in top gear already.



Hopefully Goldfries can test this.

It's for cards with reference board right? Not reference card because i saw guys with Gigabyte Windforce and XFX DD successfully flashed their card although the latter is not stable.

Ah, i see. No wonder it doesn't work for me although 290x Gaming review show ref. board design.

Yes, but not recommended to do so and AMD might lock modded BIOS again.

Just send your card to me, i'll take care of it really good.

It's better to use your own BIOS and mod it to have lower voltage but like Najmods posted, you better find your card limit first using software like MSI Afterburner.

Using leaked 15.200.1055 driver DLLs from the DLLs Database + Latest Intel Chipset, my system finally managed to broke 1M DrawCalls/Secs.




The best i could get previously was 950ST/900MT. Coming from Catalyst Omega 14.12 which i only get 650k for both ST & MT, the improvement is coming slowly... painfully slow.

Indeed, i can see the gold SSC.

Hope your PSU can handle it bro, nice card. Previous 290 PCS+ was a great card with a great cooler, shame early batches was plague with black screen issue which need a vBIOS update.

Did you use DDU?

How your pCars bro? Still broken?
Saw a couple of guys complaining, one guy posted turning off detailed grass fixed the problem.

Bro, RMA it and ask for a different card.

All GCN support DX12.

GCN 1.0 support DX12 with feature level 11_1 and GCN 1.1/1.2 support DX12 with feature level 12_0.

Yeah, you gonna miss Raster Order View (ROV) and Conservative Rasterization from feature level 12_1.



Not that big deal btw since only a very small percentage of DX12 cards support that feature, even current gen consoles didn't support it.

I can do that tonight with 8.1 vs 10, but i don't have many games installed.

Only in synthetics benchmark bro, many games i played don't even utilize over 3 cores.
If you can try disable half of the modules if you board allow and overclock the hell out of the CPU.

Tried pCars, Win10 advantage is still there and quite significant.

R9-290x | 1080/1350 | Catalyst 15.7
Bathurst | 14:00 | Clear | 20 Cars | Settings
Win 8.1
Win 10
Btw other games is nothing like this, they either marginally slower or marginally faster.

>150w extra.

Yeah, +96mv at 1200mhz looks great. Now what Fury X need is a proper driver.

It's TPU, they always use BF3 to measure overclocking performance.

Window 10 | Window 8.1




Intel Xeon E3-1230V2@3.5Ghz and it's not too fast.

380 based on latest GCN 1.2, newer than 390 which support 4K H264 recording and 4K VSR including improved tessellation and memory compression implementation.
