For anyone who may have the same problem, check your motherboard manufactuer's website. Mine only offered askylake VGA driver but somehow, it worked.

If anyone anywhere may ever stumble upon the same problem, apparantly MSI's EZ Debug Led just like to stay red on the RAM modules for a couple of seconds on boot. I ran a memtest and both my sticks are fine.

right I forgot about that, I was wrong there kiddo

Im on level 69, it is better than you imagine.

You say Europe in your profile in which case indeed, you won't find these screws easily in regular stores, as they're not EU standard.
Go to any local store that builds computers for customers who order parts from there , they'll have screws left from computer cases they build. Just ask them nicely for a couple of screws and they'll probably give you. You could have a look at used PC / monitors stores around your area, sometimes they have beaten up computers that they just throw away as they're too difficult to repair or not worth the money so you could harvest a bunch of screws from those.
 
The screw is standard,UNC 6-32  (from 32 threads per inch, US standard) .. the optical drives and some select components use the M3 screw (thinner, metric standard, 3 means 3 mm diameter, 0.5 mm between threads )

I didn't really intend on this turning into an argument, but eh, I must say back when I had an i5 4460 I did find my self bottlenecked in a lot of the newer titles.
 
I think I'll just suck it up and go the i7-1080 path anyway.
 
I know about the new CPU lines coming but from what I've seen the improvements are too small for it to be worth the wait.

The 480x is on par with the 970/390x while the 1070 is on par and sometimes faster than a 980ti.
 
While it would be a waste of the freesync to go with an nvidia card, there's no way the 480x is going to pull decent frames at 4k.

No, I read the post. There just wasn't anything else worth commenting on.

this is like reddit-tier thinking up of things to get mad over

yeah thats what I was afraid for, but the cheapest over here in yurop is 40 euros, I could spend that money on getting a semi decent proper hdmi monitor so that's not gonna happen.

I think something will happen someday with some value of power

fx 6300 is your issue. I had low fps in skyrim with a stock 8320 and a r9 280x until I upgraded the cpu. Especially fps drops like you mentioned because the single core performance of that cpu is just garbage.

so it's either empty your life savings for nvidia or wait 19 years for amd's vega
 
how great

They released good proper speed ssd's and then downgraded the components after getting good reviews. They perform very slow for an ssd.

It won't do anything to buy a new pc.

That video is a perfect example. It's as if the game has been upscaled from 800x600, even at 1080p with max AA. That's the best way to explain this issue, as if everything is being upscaled and AA suddenly stops working at all. Even SGSSAA didn't do anything on my 750 ti, except for sht on my fps. The funny thing is, it happened in steps to me. First, everything works perfectly fine, then everything looks bad unless you enable AA, then even AA stops working then even obscure methods of AA through nvidiainspector stop working. It happened exactly the same way to the 960 I had and the 750 ti I bought after that, and a laptop I bought with a 630m in it.
 
Edit: Aha, I see that video is running at a low resolution, which is why it displayed the issue so well. Now imagine my games looked exactly like that but at 1080p resolution with supersampling turned on. Even downsampling did nothing but reduce its visibility marginally. 
 
Right now on my 5750 everythings working pretty damn fine. I'm starting to think whether it's completely random and has no relation to GPU type. Although I've still had the worst experiences with nvidia. It all started there for me anyway.

For those who may still be following this thread..
 
One additional thing I noticed is that supersampling works properly on this hd 5750. I had an r7 260x before, and that was the only other card who could do supersampling properly. As soon as I had upgraded to an r9 280x, supersampling just stopped working and looked just as bad as MSAA, while still drawing tons of FPS. Supersampling never worked on nvidia (except for those first two weeks etc. etc.).
 
I recorded some gameplay with 4x anti aliasing@1650x1050 resolution. Check it out:
how can this 5750 render it so perfectly with these settings, while my 750 ti couldn't do it nearly as pretty @1440p with 8x anti aliasing on still baffles me. I have no fucking clue what causes it and it just frustrates me. If my previous cards could render this game as smoothly looking as this 5750 did it, I wouldn't even have made this thread.
 
Now I am stuck to this 5750, out of fear that everything will look ugly again if I upgrade. 
 
I seriously hope they made some progress on this with the upcoming Polaris. All these issues are so inconsistent and illogical I can not make any fucking thing out of it and its making us look crazy as well. All we can do is hope that they do something about it. Figuring this out is king-crimson level shit. Just compiling info is all we can do.
