i know why they implemented it, cause 290x is super freaking hot gpu, the stock air coolers wouldn't be able to cool it adequately without it throttling down, with the throttling turned off, slight overclock and no voltage bump this thing runs 60*C on water lol hot hot hot

thanks bros, i found another way by manually editing a ccc profile, i haven't tried either yet , i think there needs to be an option in CCC to disable it, it's ridiculous we have to use 3rd party software or ugly hacks to disable stuff like this! unfreakinbelievable

i already disabled ulps in the registry but the adaptive core clock still works, how do i disable it? here is a screenshot of afterburner core clock, should be an even line at 1100mhz but it's all over the place:

upscaling makes things look better in a higher resolution

good question, out of all the drivers i've used over past few years, i only remember one that actually installed hydravision

thanks for the driver, it's good to see the corps actually working with users to improve, you could do that on the cpu side also, ha ha but anyways, so what is the meaning of OMEGA? omega as in THE END? or what

unfortunately, i agree with you on that one, i'm riding out the win7 wave, once they cut off support for that, ill be using linux, i have openwrt on the router, but it's easier to block everything on the windows side and only allow what i use

not really, that's the temperature you don't even want to get close to, my personal rule is 84*C max for air and 65*C max for water

crossfire in farcry4 was explicitly disabled in the 14.11.2 driver, so if you want to try to enable it go to 14.11.1 or earlier sometimes just renaming the exe file can enable the crossfire, like renaming farcry4.exe to crysis3.exe for example

there are other apps out there claiming to enable crossfire.. ala CrossFire Xtension, but from what i tried, it doesn't work, at least not with the new games

i've seen a few aftermarket apps for controlling the built in windows firewall but haven't got around to trying it out, i can usually do what i need using the available options, but those are very limited and too difficult to work with sometimes, if you're familiar with the aftermarket apps ...

yeah that is the max operating temp, but the lower it gets the better it is for overclocking, i have no experience with 770, im guessing it's a power efficient gpu? still if you put 1.25v+ on it i would guess it would be over 50* at full load

i don't know about your card exactly but you only need to flash other bios if the voltages/clocks are locked low, if you can adjust voltages with msi afterburner then you don't need to flash your bios, more voltage = higher clocks = more heat, and yeah you should not be getting 65* with a...

when i get into heavy foliage with lots of lighting i get 36fps, that's the lowest i've seen, if it was below 30 then i would consider it unplayable myself

frapsed it, average 45fps with AA(SMAA) and enhanced godrays, no HBAO, that's perfectly playable fps considering the quality and resolution, there is an occasional slow down but nothing game breaking

i'm playing farcry4 on ultra 1440p with a single 7970 so that's great performance still, and 7970 crossfire will be much faster than 290x in games that crossfire actually works

looking for stuff, lmk what you got, x79 mobo with good xeon support, 6-8core xeon for x79 mobo, unlocked or unlockable r9 290, bluray burner and blank bluray media, 1100-1200w psu, usb3 external sata enclosure, usb3 multi card reader, headphones with built in quality microphone...

yeah well, from personal experience, i have gotten better quality gaming out of ati cards over the years, so that's what i prefer, even if it's little slower than the "competition", but you're off topic, cause we're talking about the benefits of extra vram

i haven't measured the FPS, but it plays really good, performance is good enough to just enjoy it instead of looking at the fps counter all the time, yup, i know about the extra settings, i did turn on what i was able to, i don't think nvidia godray works on amd cards, does it?

8gb should have been the standard this year, i wish my 5850s had 4gb of ram, they would still provide great performance in new games

if you just let the system run with the air side open the bubbles will disappear in an hour or so, if you have bubbles all the time, something is wrong with your loop setup, i don't think pressurizing the system to 20psi will get rid of bubbles, and i think it's unnecessary, but hey, do it...

with the new amd driver, the game runs good on a single 7970, at 1440p with all graphics options maxed, that is impressive, even more if they get crossfire working, all the headlines were how much amd sucks at farcry4, but nvidia users too are complaining about lag, the game is fun...

maybe you have a bad crossfire bridge...

with a $200, you should be able to get a 290 soon, that would be my pick

there are plenty of review benchmarks out there showing how great crossfire is scaling in arma3, but i can tell you from experience, it just doesn't work, i have many hours into the game and i went through probably 10 amd driver releases/system reinstalls/ and even giving win8 a test, even tho...

ok thanks, so it will show the ram throughput right?

any benchmarks out there that can measure memory controller throughput?

hey, if you have nothing intelligent to say do a character assassination, only works on simple minds though

besides, if the bandwidth is available and affordable, i am positive that people will come out with many fun and creative ways to utilize it

yeah, it's a good example, but i hope that those company's backups are not sensitive.. or they are screwed lol

when i started reading i was like, wow, i like what Chris Beard is saying!, way to go!!! and then he says so we are going to yahoo, and i'm like what? WTF!? if you want to innvoate you could, for example, initiate and sponsor an open source internet search engine project, 100% open...

who wants be in a car that's driven by google and the goobernment, lol, are you kidding me?

and probably most of the infrastructure was paid for with tax money to start with

no he is not, it's a repeat of "640K ought to be enough for anybody". that is fine, that's YOUR preference, it is not my NEED, you are talking about the costs again, but the only way to lower the costs of it is to make more of it available at a lower price, which doesn't happen without...

yes they are limited, because bandwidth is low and expensive, isn't that right?

bring 500Mbps(symmetrical) lines for $30 a month, with unlimited bandwidth, no server hosting restriction, no bundling and all the extra bullshit charges, that's what we need, and Verizon, take your fios routers and stick them up your CEOs ass, i have my own router, thank you

i don't recommend the 14.9 driver, it's buggy, either go back to 14.8 or upgrade to 14.11

except the continuum one was way better

that was beyond stupid, lol, look honey i just traded a house for iphones that will be worthless in 3 years, what a moron

no point upgrading unless he will run apps/games that heavily utilize multiple cores, like battlefield4 or video encoding apps, otherwise there will be little difference in performance
