What games can Intel HD Graphics 4400 Run?
hardforsteven replied to Josue9988's topic in Graphics Cards
I played GTA V at 768p, on low and in windowed mode at 30 fps. Minecraft runs pretty good as well. -
for a laptop: i5-4200U vs AMD A8-7410

The I5 laptop is the better computer. -
Is your processor Overclocked at all? What cooler do you have on it?
-
I had that same problem when I ran an FX-6100 with my 290. As soon as I switched to an I5, the temps would not go past 71c. It could be something to do with that.
-
I have that 390, and it is pretty quiet and cool. It runs about 57-60c on Battlefield 4 and similarly intensive games. I would recommend it.
-
I have the XFX 390, and I had the XFX 290 as well, I think they are pretty nice. My 390's temperature maxes out at 61c with a 100mhz overclock on Battlefield 4, and on GTA V it maxes at around 53c. It is decently quiet as well, my stock H80i cooler fans were louder than the fans on this GPU are.
-
I have the XFX 390 non x, and it is 10-13 Celsius cooler than my XFX 290 non x, if that helps any. It runs at about 61C on Battlefield 4 with a 100mhz overclock.
-
I just bought the XFX 390, it is a nice cooler, and while not a very large overclock, I have an extra 100mhz on it without increase voltage. It runs pretty cool as well, in BF4 I don't pass 61c in intense moments. *EDIT* Misread and thought this was about a 390. Although i'm assuming if the cooler works good on the 390, it will work at least as well on the 380.

I just purchased an XFX r9 390 after selling my XFX r9 290. It runs cooler with a much higher clock(1100mhz at 60c-61c), comes with a sweet backplate, and the extra vram is always nice.
-
If a game will run on the 980m, it will run on the 960m as well. Now, how well the 960m will run games in the future is another question. I think for the long run, you should buy the laptop with the 980m.

I'm looking for a Micro ATX motherboard with 2 PCI Express 3.0 x16 that supports Crossfire/SLI. It would be great if the price was under $200. Thank you! *EDIT* I forgot to include that the socket is LGA 1150. And I guess not necessarily 2 PCIE 3.0 x 16, but at least two slots that will run at Duel x8/x8.

Online is surprisingly not bad right off the bat. I was able to get on on release day without any problems. I recommend buying a smartcar(panto?) then upgrading the hell out of it.

Try to increase your fan speed. 40% might keep the noise down, but raising that speed to 50-60% couldn't hurt.

Backplate for XFX R9 290 Double Dissaption
hardforsteven replied to Pony080905's topic in Graphics Cards
I actually emailed XFX about the PCB, and the tech I talked to told me that it was the reference designed PCB. -
I would check out the XFX R9 290 Double Dissipation version if I were you. I own it, and it stays under 66c under full load, and it is very quiet even with the fans at 70%. I also think it looks awesome.
