    XFX R9 280x, Do VRM temps settle overtime?

    Changed my case to a CM Scout2 with 2 extra side fans and two exhausts on top.. all Bitfenix Spectres.. and the results are below!! This is after running heaven and valley simultaneously. The temps just capped out at these values after 10 minutes. And after playing crysis 3 for 30 mins:

    XFX R9 280x, Do VRM temps settle overtime?

    TroyX that's phenomenal considering that you only added those heatsinks on the rear strip! Did you also do something for the VRM2? Since those are sitting at 55C.. I am also upgrading to a scout 2 cabinet (with 4 extra fans), because, I have to admit, I do have a very cramped case which may be...

    XFX R9 280x, Do VRM temps settle overtime?

    Hi all, So i bought an XFX r9 280x DD a month back; the VRM1 temp once reached 114C after half an hour of Dirt3 while the GPU would be at around 85C (The GPU frequency was not being throttled at any point during this time). I was somewhat alarmed but continued to test it instead of going for...

    4770 worth it over 5670?

    i guess so :)... and the comparison here http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-5770,2446-8.html, makes me think it might equal a 5750 with some oc!

    4770 worth it over 5670?

    Valset, 4850 is extremely hard to find here...and i don't think the psu will handle it comfortably... the 5750 is at $170, and the 5770 at 200$, the cheapest around! Omegas, i guess u'r right it should walk all over the 5670, haven't oc'd my system tho, the proc is an e8400, with a WD 500gb...

    4770 worth it over 5670?

    What's intriguing is the stats for crysis for 4770 and 5670, here http://www.hardocp.com/article/2009/10/12/amd_ati_radeon_hd_5770_5750_review/6 and here http://www.hardocp.com/article/2010/01/14/amds_ati_radeon_hd_5670_review/4, although can't say the same for other games, even in NFS shift...

    4770 worth it over 5670?

    well 450, its a 400w, exact model i don't remember.. so i don't think it'd be fit for a 4870 and the card anyways is beyond my budget. Thanks for the quick re.. Just having a hard time weighing the price to performance ratio between the two.

    4770 worth it over 5670?

    Hi all.. new here. The 4770 is available at $126, the 5670 is at $105 (both 512mb)... i am a light gamer at 1440 screen res, who wishes to play games like HAWX and NFS Shift, and some FPS games like Mass Effect 2 maxed out. From some newer games it seems the 5670 is quite near to the...
