  1. Running two r9 270s in crossfire 16x + 4x (PCI-E 2.0). Windows 10 completely hangs a minute in to any DirectX game. OpenGL games fun fine. I've tried Windows 7 and a fresh install of 10. Games run perfectly on Windows 7.
  2. This may be a stupid question but im asking anyway. Is there any way to use the first tv psu pictured to replace the second. Cheers
  3. Overwatch is what he'd mostly play.
  4. I have a system with a Phenom 9850 running at 2.9ghz that I'd like to set up for my younger brother to play games. Wondering if anybody could suggest a GPU that would pair well with it, something I could pick up pre-owned that would be minimally bottlenecked by the old phenom. Thanks.
  5. So it would be great if anyone knows of a hack to get rid of the TDP limit. For Science!!, don't mind breaking my laptop in the process.
  6. A real shame. This thing would have to potential to be dope on AC power otherwise.
  7. Yeah as I said in the OP, it must be that 15w target that causes this. Probably not at all enough to run the thing at its rated speed. For comparison; The rx 460 has 896 shader cores at 1090mhz - 75w TDP My iGPU has 512 shader cores and wants to run at 758mhz - aand a quad core Excavator CPU @ 2.7ghz base. only 15w
  8. This processor is unsupported in overdrive, really wish it was.
  9. I've got a rig that's just fine at home, traveling with this over the holidays though. On paper overwatch should be a breeze. My brother's i3 6100u handles it better
  10. My laptop is equipped with a bristol ridge apu; FX-9800p. (Hp Envy x360 m6-ar004dx) Due to it's 15w TDP im assuming, the cpu frequency drops drastically as the gpu frequency goes up. The cpu freq. hovers around .7, to 1.7ghz when playing Overwatch, which just absolutely slaughters the framerate and makes for a super choppy experience as the cpu and igpu fight over who gets the juice. The igpu never gets above 60c. Outside of games, my cpu boosts around 3ghz. If anyone has any advice to make my experience better, that would be great. Unlocked TDP is the dream though I know it won't happen.
  11. Well yes I'm well aware of that. Wondering if someone actually gotten their ram the advertised speed on this model, and how I can do the same.
  12. Main Issue: My laptop's ddr4 seems to only clock at 1866mhz (reading 933mhz in resource monitor). The advertised speed is 2133. Seems like a lot of people are having this issue with this particular laptop, but I haven't found a solution. Hoping maybe someone on the forum might have a clue for me. I'm running the latest bios from HP's site. There's almost no system configuration settings enabled in the bios, which is understandable for a notebook, but as a power user, I reaaally want those settings. Definately wondering if there's an unlocked bios out there. It'd be great to allow another 512mb of ram for the igpu to use. Exact Model: m6-ar004dx. May not really be related to the ram speed per se, but I've noticed that performance in 3d applications i/e Overwatch is traaaash in comparison to my brother's i3 6100u equipped laptop. I'm quite unsure why. Running Overwatch I'm getting 15-35 frames on the lowest in game settings and 50% resolution scaling at 720p. The i3 and hd graphics 520 can do three times that, which doesn't seem right to me. Skylake may have better ipc than this AMD chip, but it's the i3's 2.3ghz vs the 9800p's steady 3ghz turbo throughout game play, and four physical cores. The gpu (R7 Bristol Ridge), has 512 3rd gen gcn cores running at 758mhz. Shouldn't be worse than hd graphics 520 should it? The gpu is apparantly made up of 8 modules, and they show up as four separate gpu's in afterburner. All four performance monitor charts seem to hover around 60%-90ish when playing Overwatch. Cpu usage hovers around 80%. Would single channel ddr4 wreck the gpu's performance? as sadly this thing only came packed with a single 8gig dimm, and no expansion. Kinda a shame, as the i7 version of this laptop has dual channel... and seems to run at its rated ram speed. AMD gets the shaft as seems to be the case nowadays. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
