Thanks everyone for sharing your experience, and I guess I would have bought it if I did not find a Asus R9 280X for less than 200$ !

Arg sorry, I don't understand what you mean.. Why do you think I'd still have VRAM issue in the future with a 3GB card ? I'm only running a 1080p screen, but even at 1600p it seems to be fine from what I read, isn't it ? Faster ? :hmm:

Okay, thanks for the explanation ^_^

Actually... I discovered only a few ago that dual channel thing and I changed just before my cpu cooling and removed my memory sticks... And.... pluged.. well.. only one of them... (shame on me :\), 8gigs detected by windows, 4 working, so no dual channel. "Problem solved", got a beautiful...

Thanks again for your explanations Burpo.

Used, yep. Got the Asus one 182€ :)

OK thx, will try that I always though that they must be put that way (sorry for that pretty ugly sentence...) and discovered only a few days ago that this wasn't working :X Actually changed my choice, I found an Asus one at 182€ barely used on Amazon :)

Okay okay, thanks Techhog :) So VRAM filled => New R9 280X Toxic 3GB coming :D Should do the trick :P

Yep I know, but on the screenshot that's still far from 1 GB, that's less than 700MB, this is what I find weird :/ But sure, I will get a problem on that side sooner or later if that's not already the case

Did already as written in my first post. FPS increase, so yes, GPU bottleneck But I don't understand why no component show 100% usage. Yeah sure, but I tought it was more common than that :rolleyes: Oh, actually idk in english, but in french the correct term for the actual number of pixels...

Up and another question (Yeah.. again) Do you think my CPU will bottleneck a R9 280x (in most games) ?

I'm still worry about the thermal actually (for me) and also not sure about its integrity if it has been used hard when badly cooled :\

Yeah, if I could get a decent overcooling system I wouldn't care but I can't just yet :hmm: I might consider a better cooled 280X instead.. :sneaky:

Hi, Don't be afraid by that long post ():) I can't run Metro Last Light correctly on my config, but there's nothing you can do about that :cool: The weird thing is that, when I wanted to make sure the CPU was not the bottleneck, I found.. basically nothing, RAM not full, GPU not...

Oookay.. And I bet it has been used for mining so.. (Seller selling also a mining rig with 2 identical card ) Thx Kenmitch
