AMD R9 Fury reviews!

I'm amazed at those Fury results. I wanted to get the Fury X for its amazing power and silence (after the pump fix) but for 100 less and not much a perf drop, the Sapphire Fury manages to be more silent than the Fury X. If I get this card it will be to game in 1440p, which is totally...

AMD Catalyst 15.7 Driver is now available!

AMD are finally doing something good with their drivers. W10 beta drivers have been rock solid, but this one is a real gem. Worthy of the WHQL tag so far.

Is it safe to game on a 280X at 80-85º?

It's similar to what I use, but with the default fans. If you had to recommend Noctua fans to replace the default CM fans, which would you recommend? Noctua has multiple 140mm and 120mm models, and I don't know which to pick.

Is it safe to game on a 280X at 80-85º?

Yes fans are a good investment if they are good ones, but I never felt the need for them, but I'm getting quite pissed of with the noise my case does, and since temperatures are very high this year I guess I finally got pushed enough. Thanks guys, I'll buy a few fans, de-dust my case, apply...

I was thinking of upgrading my fans to Noctua fans. I'm still using my default ones of the case. At least last time I investigated the market they were one of the best in price/performance

Is it safe to game on a 280X at 80-85º?

I was surprised with the CPU as well, but it's overclocked to 4.4 Ghz which I forgot to add in the OP. I wonder if my Noctua is dusty or the thermal paste is gone. I saw the stats and the GPU never went above 85º. My room has the sun shining throughout the whole day, it's an attic. Inside...

Any good monitor calibrators in the $100 range?

If you do color sensitive work, yes.

Downsides of OpenGL [Blogpost]

What we need is OpenGL to stop being such a mess. Valve is parte of Khronus, I wonder if they will try to save it, similar to what they are trying to do with Linux.

amd CCC 14.4 beta's gone live

Drivers working perfectly. It also seemed to fix the Firefox bug I had where it usually flickered due the memory clock changing (280X here)

DirectX and OpenGL to get low level access according to leaked statements (GDC 2014)

But will this require tailored architectures and future graphic cards? Because Mantle works GCN which exists RIGHT NOW.

Geometry and Graphics corruption (R9 280X) - RMA?

I have managed to do a quick swap of the card for a new one with my vendor. Since it was only 1 week old they promptly traded it. 1. Better performance noticed right away in GW2 2. Fans are at a consistent speed while ingame or under load. It didnt happen before. 3. No artifacts so far. (3...

Geometry and Graphics corruption (R9 280X) - RMA?

My PSU is a AX750 from Corsair My previous GTX275 was working flawlessly and with OC. I'll try another PSU. Drivers did nothing to solve the problem. Last step will be the voltages increase.

Geometry and Graphics corruption (R9 280X) - RMA?

1) I have Corsair AX750 2) Will try the Driver again (With driver cleaner correct?) 3) & 4) I shouldn't have to do them. If that solves it I should still ask for an RMA correct?

Geometry and Graphics corruption (R9 280X) - RMA?

Hi everyone I bought a Gigabyte R9 280X last week (Windforce 3x) and I've been getting corruption inside my games at random (Sometimes after a while. Sometimes I get nothing). I have tried both the WHQL drivers and the Mantle Beta drivers and I get the same results. Sometimes, changing from...
