Unfortunately, very few 4K TVs support Displayport, and there is no DP->HDMI2.0 adapter on the market yet. I'm in this boat myself. I have 2 Hawaii GPUs and can only do 4k30 on my TV with them. It's a good thing for me that new cards aren't going to be in my budget for a month or two...

CS:GO uses a DX9 renderer. Unfortunately, AMD still hasn't implemented DX9 frame pacing, and I can't imagine it's high on their priority list anymore :/ All you can do is disable crossfire for the game or use radeonpro's dynamic framerate control feature.

This item has been up since January of 2014 according to the purchase history; I wouldn't put much faith in it. A real DP 1.2->HDMI 2.0 adapter will almost certainly be an active adapter and cost quite a bit more than this.

It's going to be entirely up to developers. Unlike current multi-GPU setups where data is automatically copied to both cards and that's that, developers will have to manually allocate resources depending on what they need to do. If cards A and B both need a particular asset for what they're...

Agreed. The shield is ultimately not going to be any more useful for the vast majority of the market than any other Android TV box. From a tech nerd perspective, I look at it and think "That's kinda neat" and not much else. It's almost certainly the most powerful Android TV box, but android tv...

It uses PWM fans and comes with a Y-adapter that is also PWM. Plug fans into CPU header so they aren't running 100% all the time and plug the pump into a regular fan header. Not sure why this wasn't reviewed that way. It's obnoxiously loud at 100% but there's not really any reason for it to...

I have to agree. They may be the same engine, but DA:I is a much more demanding game than BF4/Hardline.

I have a 290x+290 and game at 1080p/60hz. I don't regret it a bit. Sure, the 290 series doesn't stretch its legs until you get up into higher resolutions, but they're still great performers and at their current price it's hard to say no. I can max out every game I have, and can use VSR in...

This is not an issue with the 980, only the 970. To keep it very simple, the 970 is a cut-down 980, and the issue is caused by one of the disabled parts.

When I can get a 24-27" 4K display with an IPS panel and freesync for around $500-600, I'll bite.

Either of those will be more than adequate for games like LoL, Dota2, etc. There's an MSI 750ti on newegg for $99 after rebate, and a couple evga 750ti's for 109 after rebate as well. The 660 is a bit faster but the cheapest one of those looks to be $129 after rebate. My HTPC has a 750...

I considered that as a possibility, but it'd take some pretty hefty, extended throttling to create a 150W gap.

Were there any oddities with the 290 (non-X) cards during testing? They're usually right on the heels of the 290x in terms of performance and power consumption, but performance is significantly worse here and power consumption is 150W lower than the 290X cards. The power consumption is really...

Waaaaaoooooooow (Hi, I'm the referenced friend) My numbers were at 1080p and I only had time to run one test this morning. I'll update with more numbers when I get a chance. I have a 290 on the way to crossfire with the 290x, but I imagine there will be plenty of benchmarks from others by...
