I installed the new Beta drivers and all games work perfectly! Thanks, guys!

Ok, I'll dial back the overclock. And also I have an AMD FX-8350 overclocked to 4.3GHz.

I checked and I do have the latest drivers. But I downloaded the new Crimson one, so could I Catalyst?

Hi, everyone. So the story goes is that I bought a new MSI R9 390 and it works well except that in some games it has these texture issues all over the game - Just Cause 3 for example: http://imgur.com/a/A6lpx I checked MSI Afterburner and it showed that the GPU usage randomly jumped from 100%-50%-75% in an almost constant loop. On top of that, the core clock (1040 is base, overclocked it to 1100) only stayed at 900-950MHz. Temps are good, hovering around 60+ in-game and 32 when idle. So what is going on? Is it normal to be like that without the glitches? Feedback is greatly appreciated.

OK, thanks guys. So what I'm reading is that my old-as-dirt graphics card will bottleneck an i5 4690k if I upgrade that. That makes a lot of sense and frankly, I can always upgrade to Intel later. And I like the PSU idea too - this one is really sketchy because I had only $600 to work with a year ago when I build this; I got the 560ti from a friend BTW.
-
OK, my FX-8350 is pretty decent anyway. And I did consider the GTX 970, but the MSI R9 390 beats it any day.
-
Yes, I would sell it.

Hi! I have a $350 (US) budget. I want to upgrade something, but I need your guys' awesome input - would a new CPU or graphics card influence my performance more? Here is my current build - http://pcpartpicker.com/p/PGKc8d I've wanted to move from and AMD chip to an Intel chip and board, and I have the opportunity now, and also the chance to upgrade the graphics card too but I can't afford both. So it's either - http://pcpartpicker.com/p/YN6BhM or - http://pcpartpicker.com/p/cwyy23 Which would yield more performance for my money?? Feedback is very appreciated

The 750ti isnt enough. I recommend the R9 390X or two R9 390s in crossfire. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-video-card-r9390xgaming8g or http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvr939xg1gaming8gd

How does this one stack up? http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-z97progamer

And yes, AdamIsaacLang I won't probably won't OC the 4790K because it's already at 4 GHz.
-
ECC ram would be nice but it's a bit more expensive for me. And the workstation stuff, I think, isn't so important for ECC ram. And as for X99 or Skylake, it would be nice but again it's kinda expensive. I'd rather stay with Z97 because I'm planing to get the 4790K

Hi LTT forums: Is this a good/reliable motherboard for gaming and some workstation stuff? It basically has everything I need. http://pcpartpicker.com/part/msi-motherboard-z97sslikraitedition Thanks for your info!
-
Cool cool. R9 390 seems the best. But how about the r9 380 at 1080?
-
Hello LTT forums! I still have a very out-dated EVGA 560TI. I really need an update, but with a small budget I wanted to get your opinions on which graphics card would work best. First of all I have a budget of about $200-$350. I would like to get a Gigabyte G1 Gaming 970, but it's a bit too much. I also considered an MSI R9 290X but that is too high as well. My sweet-spot seems to be the GTX 960 which I can thankfully get it with 4 GB of VRAM because I'm running two 1080p monitors. I need the extra VRAM for the monitors and for animation rendering. I just need some help because I don't know how the GTX 960 can handle two monitors (it probably can but i throw a lot at them) but I would feel more comfortable with two 960s in SLI. So there a lot of options. Anyway, thanks for your info!
