    MSI R9 390X GAMING 8G Video Card Review @ [H]

    Wouldn't the most logical explanation for 390X's Hairworks performance be that AMD has put an effective tessellation factor limit in the 15.15 driver, perhaps in the Witcher 3 profile? U know, as in the well-known end-user trick to get Hairworks to run better on AMD than with nVidia.

    390X coming soon few weeks

    I've read that too, but not seen any actual proof so it might be, might not. What I haven't even read is anything that makes me think these 390/390X chips are made by GloFo. I hope I'm wrong and the optimists are right because a new process is exactly what the GPU business needs right about now.

    390X coming soon few weeks

    Yes, and what do the 1080-1100MHz factory overclocked 290X's indicate? Think it through, no rush.

    390X coming soon few weeks

    Really? Which story is that and how do the 1080-1100MHz factory overclocked Hawaii cards that we have had around for ages fit into that story? I mean, yeah I'm hoping for something more than a straight up name change for the chip but the truth is nothing at the moment is pointing in that direction.

    Grand Theft Auto V Single GPU Performance Review Part 1

    The first part has been pointed out in this thread twice already, still not corrected. Meanwhile at least two less important errors have been corrected based on feedback in this thread. So it seems pretty obvious that the conclusion text is not considered to be an error although based on the...

    XFX Radeon R9 290 Double Dissipation Edition Review @ [H]

    Once again I must ask: why, oh why no OC for Nvidia? It's not unheard of for [H] to do OC vs OC, so it always leaves me questioning for motives when you choose not to.

    MSI GeForce GTX 970 GAMING 4G Video Card Review @ [H]

    Brent, I appreciate your work and the brilliant articles that you make, but please: give me some credit. I could write a book on the issue of GPU Boost 2.0 induced throttling, and the first sentence would be: whatever frequency you think your GPU is running at, it's not until confirmed by...

    MSI GeForce GTX 970 GAMING 4G Video Card Review @ [H]

    So yes, you verified the clock rates for the GTX 780 but no, you don't want to talk about it or tell us what they were? Okay, well that's... interesting :)

    MSI GeForce GTX 970 GAMING 4G Video Card Review @ [H]

    Well then the obvious question would be: did you verify the actual clock rates during the power draw testing? The reference 780 throttles both the voltage and the clock rate when it reaches 80 degrees. If it throttled significantly, then that could perhaps be the key to making sense of those...

    ASUS ROG GTX 780 Ti MATRIX Platinum Video Card Review @ [H]

    I appreciate the answer and your work, this is a nice review no matter if it's a little late for the contemporary competitive landscape. I know the [H] way of analyzing things starts with the actual gameplay which is IMHO actually the very best way of grading video cards. I was just curious...

    ASUS ROG GTX 780 Ti MATRIX Platinum Video Card Review @ [H]

    This. [H] was pushing their conclusion of VRAM being the main factor in Watch Dogs very aggressively until now. I actually tried to point out earlier that the stuttering while driving was there for Nvidia users even when the game wasn't hitting the VRAM limit. And now, after the game and the...

    ASUS ROG R9 290X MATRIX Platinum Video Card Review @ [H]

    Good piece, thank you. I appreciate the additional overclocked part that I've been asking for a while between GK110 and Hawaii.

    Watch Dogs Performance and Image Quality Review @ [H]

    Okay, I've taken a better look at the article regarding the whole VRAM vs. stuttering issue that I pointed out earlier. Since that post didn't even get a reply, I'm going to try once more. Your conclusion is that the 780Ti has problems with ultra textures because of lack of VRAM. I have a...

    Watch Dogs Performance and Image Quality Review @ [H]

    Thank you very, very much for this. The timing was right and your conclusion on Ubisoft's merits or lack thereof in this game is spot on. But I can't find it in me to agree with your conclusions on the stuttering being a direct consequence of VRAM bottleneck. I have played and tested the game...

    SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X R9 290X TRI-X OC Video Card Review @ [H]

    So this really got ridiculous enough that I'm once more, with minute detail, going to express my feedback. This was a test of a factory overclocked 290X. It was also overclocked further manually. It was compared to a 780Ti Gaming, which was running its stock clocks. Now some of you guys seem...
