Hi,
I'm think of replacing my Vapor-X cooling system on my Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 Vapor-X with Alpenfoehn Peter 79XX Edition and two 140mm or 120mm fans on a fan controller. Your thoughts would be welcome. Concerns: -
My card is not a reference design,
Not easy to install
A review but on a...
Now we're on the same hymn sheet. My Enermax ETS-T40-TB HSF is a lot bigger. Vapor-X cooling system hasn't really delivered in terms of performance.
My backup for this was situation was Alpenfoehn Peter 79XX Edition with 2 x 120mm Noiseblocker BlackSilent Pro Fan PL2 or 2 x 140mm Prolimatech...
Correcto-mundo input lag is your first priority. http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/panasonic-tx-p50vt20b-tx-p50vt20-20100520694.htm My Panasonic tx-p50vt20 plasmas is about 3 years and has 17ms lag...
I was running Furmark at 1080P and it hit 84C on Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 Vapor-X@1050MHz, the card fans were doing 100% and it downclocked to cool off...No heat issues in Crysis 1 runs at about 66C at 1080P with everything turned to highest setting...
What I found in benchmarking was that running at 1050MHz at +20 makes my GPU temps hit 84C and the GPU start to go into thermal protection mode i.e. throttle down. Whilst playing Crysis 1 I was hit a peak of 70C and median was about 67C. So first things first is that thermals need improvement...
I use HWInfo for all the other temps. Real temp for CPU. I like the GPU-Z VRM temp, GPU temp, utilisation and speed. It's how I found out without the +20 the GPU speed was throttling at 950MHz. In the end I had to change PC case to keep the temps in check at +20%. I'm looking at getting a better...
Of course, if you fail a prime95 15min run you make changes to make your overclock stable i.e. voltage or lower the OC. Once you hit the speed you want to achieve and pass the 15 minute run, you leave it on an overnight run. If you pass that you should be good to go. If it's like a extreme...
I kinda went through the same thing. In fact the games out there were a turn off. I was then introduced to Kickstarter and the passion has comeback with a vengeance: -

Starting a thread here for you to post your suggestions/nominations. Something that is a bit different (in terms of gaming) something a bit more unusual in today's dreary gaming landscape. My nominations: -

Interesting so if the game pushes the GPU enough then it will throttle due to available power. So one eye to the future you could increase to +50 as long as you upgrade the cooling system appropriately. For me I concentrate on the delta between peak frame-rate to minimum frame rate with a...
