There is no rule that you have to buy a new card at every new node. If you can show it to me that be great. Maybe company will make money off you every new node, but it doesn't apply to everyone. What does Navi drivers have to do with a 290. Nothing. I don't see how your thread is about people...

I am still on Sapphire Vapor X 290 and EVGA Classified 780. I vaguely remember there was a video issue with hardware accelerator (browser), but it has been resolved or I simply disabled it. I mainly use the 290. No issues what so ever. If AMD can do a better job with their driver issues, then I...

That's fine. I just wanted to get a rough estimate on what an OC can do under water. Thanks

Did you try to max OC under water with the Tri-X? If yes what were the results? Thanks

Win7 Driver Issues? Microsoft, AMD Recommend Uninstalling KB3004394 by Ryan Smith on December 11, 2014 10:00 PM EST Posted in GPUs Software Microsoft AMD Windows 7 Though we don’t normally report on Windows updates, we’ll make an exception on this one. AMD sends word this evening...

Since upgrading to 14.9 (Installed software on top of 14.4, no uninstall) has worked great! It looks like Flash video in IE is working all the time now even though there appears to be a slight delay before the video is rendered. Previously with 14.4 drivers Flash video would only work for a...

These two cards are perhaps the best from camp AMD-290's and camp Nvidia-780's. Maybe MSI 780 Lighting should be in the mix, but I don't have this card. Here are the specs: Sapphire 290 Vapor-X (Hynix) 1030 GPU and 1400 Memory Cost 449.99 newegg Display Eizo Foris FX2431 1920x1200 24"...

This looks like a great card! Safe to say this is a custom PCB? I know this is probably going to be a great air cooled card, but I would love to watercool this card. In general I don't find any water cooling companies making custom GPU blocks for Sapphire products? Is it because Sapphire...

My motherboard is GA EP45-UD3R (new) My PSU is Power PC & Cooling Silencer 750 (new) I have 8 GBs of Corsair 1066 memory (new) My CPU is Q9550 Not sure what the problem is. My 3.3 and 5 rails look good. Values are 3.36 and 4.95. My CPU fan is Thermalright FDB 2000 RPM (3 pin)...

I pulled the trigger last night. I decided to go with Q9550 with DDR2 1066, rather than i7. The difference in price is approximately $900 - $476 = $424. I still have not purchased a motherboard yet, because the the one that I wanted was out. I was looking at GA-EP45-UD3P (Was $99). I am...

Here are two price specs for C2Q and i7 from newegg. C2Q system: A Core 2 Quad Q9550, 8 GB of 1066 Corsair Dominator memory, and MSI P45 motherboard will run you $636 as of 11/24/2008. Memory: 8 GB (4 x 2 GB) Corsair TWIN2x4096-8500C5DF DDR2 1066 $119 - $10 - $40 (MIR) = $69 x 2 =...

Thanks for the advise jellyrole, DSF, and magreen. One of the reason why I would like to go with i7 is so in a couple of years I can just drop a new CPU into my motherboard. Another reason is I have this believe that i7's motherboard would run cooler than C2D. I would like to keep the...

All good points. This is used for some games. I guest I want to future proof my system for three years. I've waited a while to upgrade because I didn't have to time or money. Now that I am much more stable I wanted to treat myself to some nice toys. I am getting the 1000 PSU to cover any...

I am comming from Intel 850E with RDRAM 1066 (No OC). I am finally ready to upgrade. My goal is to OC my CPU to between 3.6 ghz - 4.0 ghz using Air cooling and overclock my GPU by 10%. Here is what I am planning to purchase. CPU: Core i7 920 or 940 Case: Silverstone TJ09 or TJ10...
