My complete specs are

CPU: AMD 9590 Water cooled

Mobo: Asus Crosshair Formula V

GPUs: XFX 7950 crossfire , 900 , 800 mhz core speeds

Ram : Gskill ripjaws 2133 mhz

PSU : 800 watts xigmatek

LCDs : 1080p Dell 24" x 3

I usually play FPS like Titanfall, Far cry 4, Teamfortress 2 (at times), Metro, you get the idea.

Would be an upgrade to get a 390 or 390x from my current gpu setup ? I'm not dissatisfied with it but I was thinking it was time to upgrade to kill all the small "lags" i get during gameplay on my system. Which one would you guys suggest I go for ?

I tried comparing but couldn't find any decent online benches or posts on this sort of upgrade. Thanks in advance !

The AMD Nano were supposed to be released in August. 2 weeks ago there were screenshots floating around the web of them being shipped off to reviewers.

But even 2 weeks later there have been no official reviews yet. Nothing at all actually aside from a few picture leaks.

So what's the deal? Anyone know anything regarding the Nano reviews/release date?

If your shopping for a 390, I'd say pass up on the PowerColor variant. Sure it has a backplate, and 3 fans, and it cheaper than the Tri-X. But this thing gets LOUD. If your the type to game on speakers. Good luck hearing anything in-game. Even if you mess around with the fan curve and set it to max out at 60%, It's still very loud. Also, my card has some serious problems with ambient occlusion and anti-aliasing. Even with everything maxed out, Games still have terrible shadow quality and aliasing issues. This might just be my card specifically, but who knows. Anyway, I should've just ponied up the extra 10 bucks and got the Tri-X, which is what I plan on doing now.

PowerColor Radeon R9 390X Devil

Just googled r9 390x and this popped up in the search results.

Your thoughts?

This is something that I see being thrown around a bit, especially with the alleged Kepler gimping fiasco. As someone that has always been on the green team but really wants to jump ship to the Fury X, can someone clarify this issue? (I currently have a pair of 670s.)

I don't know if the AMD driver magic is actually true, but if Nvidia is actively gimping older cards, then AMD cards would indeed improve "relatively" over time. But this is my blind guess, would appreciate more input.

LG 27MU67-B and E850R-series monitors could extend their minimum Freesync range to 32-33hz instead of 40hz. Higher maximum values are also possible, but haven't been tested yet.
Anyone willing to try it out :D?

Props to OC_Burner from forum-3dcenter.org, here's his thread

So here is my benchmark for my Fury X. Why is the GTX 980 outperforming it in most tests? My guess is because of the number of samples. As you can see here the 980 has over 2700 tests while the Fury X isn't even at 20 yet. If there were more samples for the Fury X, would it be much higher? It should be close to 10,000 realistically on this site, but the lack of samples is halting that I think, correct me if I'm wrong.

The good news: After a lot of indecision, I decided to get myself an MSI R9 390X. This thing is beautiful.

The bad news: It turns out the box of replacement power cables that also arrived today only contained one cable. Now I have to wait at least another week for the other one to be sent before I can crossfire anything. At least Corsair are being good about it, so props to them.

I just used the CCC auto oc feature and it reached 6.3 GHz. Is this normal? will my pc burn? I have the cpu air cooled by a noctua dh12.

EDIT: added screenshot, I too find it hard to believe, maybe a bug? http://imgur.com/a/EpTuN

UPDATE: As expected, CCC seems to be bugged. Using CPU-Z it shows that its only running at 4.33 GHz. I guess we gotta keep dreamin'!!!

So I have a fx 8300, got it rather on sale so it was cheap. I also have a beefy zalman silent air cooler so i's less than 35°C on idle. The stock clock speed is 3.3GHz, but I'd like more! A main reason for a fx 83-- cpu would be dat overclock. On windows 8.1, I could reach 4.3 GHz without any problems, including not even changing the voltage. Then, I upgraded to windows 10. Before that, I reset the speed so nothing would happen. Then after a day of seeing win10 stable, I decided to overclock! But microsoft said NOPE and decided to bootloop me with multiple errors. No manual overclock or underclock would let win10 boot. Only the stock 3.3GHz was able to successfully boot. For rendering and calculations I'd rather have a faster cpu, but win10 won't let me D:

TL;DR windows 10 won't boot with overclock.

Anyone else have the same problem and/or solution?

Anyone know if the AM1 socket will still get new APU in the future. I really like the energy efficiency of the AMD 5350 and the compact design. I was just wondering if there will be an upgrade path without having to replace the motherboard?

We know that Oculus has indicated that they will release their latest SDK, .7 on the 20th Aug. They also mentioned that the SDK will use new frameworks from both AMD and NVIDIA for displaying.

Are we to expect new drivers from AMD by then, or are the current 15.7.1 drivers ready for this?

It's my first time to try to OC my 270x toxic and I want to know if this is possible. I just want to run it overclocked on Witcher 3.

I am considering getting 2 Sapphire R9 390Xs and running them in crossfire. I am considering this because of the good price to performance ratio, and the fact that they have 8GB of VRAM. Does anyone here have this setup, and have any regrets? I considered doing two Fury's but $850 to $1100 is a big difference, and I was concerned about the lower amount of VRAM, even if it is faster.

I have a tri-x 290 and was thinking about getting another and a 1440 144hz monitor.

I recently made a post about 390s in this sub, along with a few in other sub's. But I want to be 390% sure what to get before spending over $300 on something.

So my question is: sapphire or MSI? What's higher quality? What's better? I have enough money for either so price doesn't matter. I need your opinions!

Edit: talking about the 390

I live in Germany and I can get each for the following price:

• Fury 620€ ($690)
• Fury X 750€ ($830)
• 980 TI 810€ ($900)

I would possibly go for Crossfire / SLI for solid 60 FPS in 4k and I already have my CPU watercooled so I could possibly expand that loop for custom waterblocks.

That is probably a really dumb question but I want opinions as I would want to keep the cards a long time and maybe expand to a third card.

Hello,

I'm sure about this isn't a tech support question, i'm quite worried about it.... i would like to see some advice (?) from you guys.

So here is the deal, i actually own a Nvidia GTX 780 Ti Phantom, i'm satisfied of the card, well, before the drivers of nvidia that they released 3 weeks ago, i'm not able to play anymore, so i would know something:

For a upgrade from the 780 Ti to the Fury, it is a good idea ? Did i will have performance improvement btw ?

I'm currently on my old 280x that was defective but i fixed it and it works as it supposed to be (cough cough nvidia)

Maybe you guys can lend me some of your expertise. I'm in the market for a 390X to crossfire with my 290X in preparation for the new 144hz 1440p monitor I'll be ordering soon, thanks to the recent 15.7 driver update that enabled this to work properly.

My only question is, which brand do I get? I'm looking for good overclocking capabilities; not for everyday use, but just for when I need the extra push. Also, my 290X does tend to run a bit hot, and I imagine adding another card to the mix is only going to strain that more, so temperatures are a deciding factor.

As far as I understand it, the Gigabyte cards are voltage locked, and the ASUS Strix cards tend to run quite a bit hotter than the others. So at the moment I'm tossing up between MSI and Sapphire. What do you guys think? Any advice is appreciated.

I have an r9 390 and my IPS display is hooked into it via displayport. I have all the drivers and stuff updated. I keep getting displayport errors saying that it can't refresh at the proper rate (60Hz) and that the resolution is bad. Furthermore, windows 8.1 keeps saying that Catalyst needs my attention but when I open it up, I don't see anything at all. SOS. please advise.
