Serious question though, If im running a R9 290 right now, what options do I really have for an upgrade or 2nd GPU for new Ryzen2 system to see noticeable performance difference for the price paid?
Fury-X level of performance imo, 1070/980 Ti/Vega 56.
Hi guys, digged out an old rig recently and it has a HD4850 inside, but when I reformatted the pc to win10 and the default driver doesn't support 1920x1080, then I googled a bit and there is actually some workaround to make 1080p available on win10.
Tried but failed, now stick on 1440x900, the pixels are terrible
So did anyone successfully use 1920x1080 for their old ati card on win10 since ati had dropped support on older cards such as HD4000 and before.
Anyone knows why my fan speed is stuck at 36%? I tried increasing it in Wattman but nothing seems to change. The fan speed is still at 36% even when temperature reach 90 degree Using Sapphire R9 290 Tri-x
I tried changing the fan speed percentage at msi afterburner but the rpm still the same
[attachmentid=10007631]
Hmm.. try some of these.
1. reset Wattman/Afterburner. 2. reinstall driver. 3. create/shrink a small partition and install new window. 4. edit BIOS.
I downclock my GPU, if I just play game, the speed is correct. But if I play youtube video at the background, the speed ramp up back to default. Why? >,>
iinm radeon hardware/video acceleration use different clock state. if you don't like that just disable hardware acceleration in browser.

If this is true then it's utterly dissapointing Was hoping for the next AMD GPU to be able to beat RTX 2080 Ti. Or at least beat the crap out of GTX 1080 Ti
You put too much faith into RTG, they don't even have enough man power to enable system wide primitive shaders and dsbr in Vega. That card basically crippled unless game dev bothers about it and I've yet to see any game that was advertised to use those features in Vega except rapid packed math in FC5.
I'll be happy to see 1080 Ti-ish performance with better efficiency at lower price points but that already pushing it imo.
Hard to say... Navi is still GCN although it's the last Gen.
May be the incoming "Arcturis" might has a chance defeating NV Pascal.
Still have no idea what Navi is gonna be, hopefully Turing with RT and Tensor cores didn't choke them too much. They need to at least get on par with Pascal with Navi, if they can't can gulung tikar edi.
There's rumor few months back that Navi will bring 1080 performance to the mainstream ($200-$300) They also claim that Navi is not high end GPU which is quite worrying if it's true.
With 2070 price around $500, new mainstream price is probably around $300-$400. Also if we somewhat affected by the new US import tariff, expect +$50 to the price imo.
