Just thought I'd share a build I recently pieced together. I'm thinking of going Dual R9 295x2 and bump up the power supply but am not sure if the dual rad config I am using can support the heat load. Anyhow.. cards both run at 1,200MHz without any throttling whatsoever. System is nearly...

My experience with Windforce cards is that the fans they use, on those coolers, are cheap sleeve bearing fans that have a hard time running reliable for more than 6 months under slightly higher than average use. The fans will literally come off their bearings and stop spinning. It has...

You can get the driver, in question, HERE A direct link is available HERE.

And that doesn't even matter one bit :) Especially not when you factor in real world compute throughput (if you're into using GPGPU functionalities). I mean unless you're concerned over Power Draw, which ironically AMD and nVIDIA fans only happen to concern themselves with Power Draw the moment...

Well, according to YouTube videos, the 290x demolishes the 780 Ti when Mantle is used in terms of raw frames per second as well as frame times. Crossfire Scaling is also very healthy at over 90% (vs 78% in DX11). Any such review would simply make 780 Ti owners feel a tad more annoyed... I...

You either didn't do a proper driver install (meaning you had nVIDIA drivers on the system (or older drivers) and simply installed the new Catalysts on top) or you're being disingenuous.

My list: ATi Radeon 9700 Pro 128MB (2-3 years) 3DFX Voodoo 2 12MB SLI (I had that setup for 3 years) GeForce 8800 Ultra 768MB SLI (2 years) AMD Radeon HD 7970 3GB Crossfire (2 years)

^ Yep.

Err... wha???? :confused:

Funny/Odd Considering I spent last night playing Battlefield 4 using Mantle and two Radeon R9 290x's in Crossfire without a hitch.

What features specifically? Could you elaborate and specify which features ATi GPUs lack (aside from those I mentioned) which would make all that performance "moot"?

Correlation does not imply causation. I've written extensively as to the cause(s). The two main factors were ATi hardware's inability to access threads in protected memory. This is used to buffer preliminary results into system memory (this has been rectified with the 5x00 series). You...

I just wanted to reply to this claim you're making. You're stating that AMD hardware is slow compared to NV hardware. Might I ask what evidence you're using to draw up such a conclusion? On the GPGPU front, current AMD hardware (even RV770) is over 2x or more faster than GT200 under most...
