    What driver version to download?

    i`m usually going to the latest version but it seems that the latest drivers are not that good or cause some glitches. What is the most recommended version do use?

    New AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition 15.12

    what drivers are the most recommended? I`m usually going with the latest but reading this forum make me feel that that is not the best choice. I was thinking on going to the latest Catalyst (prior crisom) what version that would be? what do you think?

    Which I5 should i get?

    The thing is that the i7 just go way over my budget. Since I have to buy mother+cpu+ram. The 2 sticks is a good idea. They cost the same so.

    Which I5 should i get?

    I havent upgrade my PC since 6 years. Recently i got a r9 280 video card but i think my CPU is holding the thing down. :eek: I was thinking of upgrading to an i5 to replace my Intel core 2 duo, but since i have been out from PC gaming for a LONG time i`m not sure which one i should get...

    How do i find what is my system bottleneck?

    I went ahead and test this on the Benchmark for Rome2. (the game i intended to play) and with my current settings and 1680x1050 i get 26FPS avg. IF i lower to the loest resolution possible keeping the same graphics settings which is 1024x768 i get 51FPS AVG. This means the GPU is holding me...

    How do i find what is my system bottleneck?

    Yep after reading several reviews, i`ll go with the evga version. It`s not that i`m lazy, it just a matter of budget/time and other factors. I can`t ebay a card because i don`t live in US and my country charge me a lot of taxes for international shipping. Also i just want to improve my FPS...

    How do i find what is my system bottleneck?

    I was thinking on Radeon 270x. But I think that will stress my psu. I think I'll settle with the gtx 750 ti. It use less power so the risk is the same that I have now. And it will give me an improvement over the gt8800. I won't replace the psu if is not failing.

    How do i find what is my system bottleneck?

    Ok that make sense. People compare 750 ti with 650 ti BOOST. but i can`t get a 650 Ti Boost version because the Boost used a lot more power (134w full load). And i have a unreliable power supply from what i was told on this forum. So i want to keep it close to 105w, which is what my current...

    How do i find what is my system bottleneck?

    I was looking at the GTX 650 TI and i compared to the GTX 750 TI. GT8800 use 105w at load GTX 750 TI 70w GTX 650 TI 110w at load. The difference between my current V.card is 5w. I don`t think that would be enough to break the PSU. What i found is that many benchmarks shows GTX 650 Ti less...

    How do i find what is my system bottleneck?

    Yes i think i`ll try this video card first. and see how much improvement i can get with only upgrading my videocard. If things are still a mess i`ll go with a whole new upgrade including the Power supply, i5 +mother+ ram, basically all a new PC. Maybe the improvement is good enough for me (i...

    How do i find what is my system bottleneck?
