So...you rather live with the faulty gpu than getting a properly functional gpu?

Logically, if you spend RM900+ for gpu, better get the most out of it even if it means paying extra for RMA.

anyone here have actually used freesync ? Is it worth jumping from nvidia just to use it

just got myself a freesync monitor LEL

like ur siggy, just noticed rani kulop in between

Haha. I only tasted amd 4 times. After that jump wagon again.

X1950PRO - dont have 7950GT in stocks
3870 - not convincing jump and dissapointed
4870 - very big jump that i buy on day 2 launching
5850 - GTX470 suck arse that i stay amd another 4 years

siggy you have GTX 980 Ti.. but you buy Freesync lcd ... or this for your second Rig.. ?

2003 - Radeon 9000
2004 - Radeon 9800 Pro (Doom 3 time, graphics so geng that time)

lol soon you shall see [WTS/WTT] 980ti to fury x in garage sale

Erm its actually my 3rd choice monitor after XB270hu or X280hk both out of stock and waiting time 4 weeks
Honestly I wont mind jumping to fury x since this 980ti ref card is damn loud

Guys, been wondering to ask, does the Radeon R9 200 series support DX12? Or is it upgrading time for all of us?

Just make sure you aware of the VRR window limitation. What is the model?

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.

you mean the 35-90hz for mg279q ?

Yeah done my research on that but I think even if switch to fury x it wont be hitting above 90hz unless talking about older games

Are we gonna miss some features from a full DX12 hardwares?

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.

guys need some insight here, just got a 2nd r9 290 for my cfx configuration, seems asus direct cu 2 cooling is worst than my tri x. any tips to improve it?

Do try swap the top and bottom configurations between the two cards. Aim for the one with less discrepancy between two cards.

i dont get it bro what u mean less discrepancy between two cards?

Put a better cooled card as primary as it usually the first card that loads more than second card. It also depends on your case airflow.

Get a waterblock.
