I'll be using both cards, I have the option of crossfiring them - but in hindsight I should have opted for GTX 1080 maybe two of them. I suppose I'll wait about 6 months until the 1080ti's come out and drop in price. In the meantime I can have some money left over to spend on a cooler more ram and something i'll actually benefit from a really decent gaming keyboard and mouse, looking at ASUS RGB ones to match my build but any suggestions are welcome budget on them is £150. Just a bit wary of the "TRAMP STAMPs" on them.

I never looked at the event viewer, however, the problem has seemed to have resolved itself, someone finally on EA forums suggested turning off Origin In Game, and ending MSI/GPU background processors for RGB lighting. I just disabled them from booting at startup "MSI gaming App" and that fixed everything - I'm getting a solid 60fps at 1080p sometimes drops to minimum 50fps in resource intense areas but I don't notice it. So yes it does seem it was the GPU drivers, the MSI gaming App OC's the card you can have the option of gaming mode etc, "eye rest" and a few other features I don't use. And there really isn't much of a need to overclock the card. I am impressed that a cheap core i5 7600 CPU handles this game so effortlessly. I should not have made the mistake of going with an AMD card, I should have just bought a single GTX 1080 as opposed to one RX 470, and another RX 480 to run in crossfire. Saying that I can't really complain about the RX 470 it's a very cheap end graphics card which can run demanding games in high settings at 1080p my preferred gaming option, i'm not falling for the 4K or VR gimmick just yet at least.

Really will the ram have a big effect, as my RX 480 8GB is coming tomorrow. I already have DDR4 RAM OC to 3600. You reckon I should get more ram?

I have a mid range cpu a core i5 7600, and yes gaming at 1080. I don't see the point of going any higher to be honest. I have GDDR4 8GB of G.Skill 3600 OC ram though, recommended is 16GB DDR3 I think. But tomorrow my RX 480 8GB is coming, so I don't know really if I should upgrade the ram, on the system, since the VRAM is going to double...

Yes I've played it seem my post, the game is bloody awesome, I get a solid 60FPS on high/ultra settings. I've just been having some problems with the game hanging and crashing but that could be an optimise issue or my setup I don't know. It's worth pre-ordering, to be honest if you already have Origin access and you can try it for 10 hours. I have a years subscription to access, but monthly price is like 3 - 4 dollars or something.

I've tried pretty much all of that, I've got it past the cut-scenes, but I'm scared it might crash at any time, I changed the settings in game to windowed borderless and that has seemed to have done the trick, really shocking a tripe A title has such an issue while some folks have no problems running on pretty much toasters i.e laptop gpus. I mentioned I found the forum from the YouTube channel because a lot of the time on forums sometimes the admins want to know where the members are coming from, better ad targeting, I know I did when I used to own a forum way, way back. So what do you think about crossfire I really like the idea of multi GPUs, since I have the RGB models and I am going make it look like a work of art. By the way in a few months I will be giving these GPUs away, going to put one into my wife's desktop and another will be going to my nephew, and I will be definitely buying two 1070TI's I think AMD are just a little to much hassle. But I'm kind of invested in this for at least 6 months since a freesynch monitor is coming to me soon.

Hi there guys, I found this forum through YouTube (Linus' Channel) I am in my mid-30s male and I am completely new to computer building - I specifically made my own computer to play Mass Effect: Andromeda. I posted on EA's forums but you usually don't get a response there I think the audience is younger and sometimes they even give incorrect advice. In any case the issue I was running into with Mass Effect's early access on Origin - I seem to be able to play the game and then all of a sudden 15 - 20 mins into the game the graphics card will hang and the game will crash (no error messages) it will just exit to the desktop, I will post my setup below as I have a few more questions, as I am going to be throwing more money at the problem to fix it, tomorrow I am buying a ASUS RX 480 - 8GB and another 8GB of RAM. My system specs below: MoBo:........: Asus ROG Strix Z270F Kaby Lake ATX Gaming Motherboard Processors: I5 7600 (stock cooler not overclocked) GPU...........: MSI RX 470 4GB RAM...........: G.Skill RipJaw V DDR4 8GB OC 3600mhz SSD............: SAND-DISK extreme over 400MB read/write HDD...........: 1TB 7200 PSU............: Corsair CX 750M 80+ Bronze. I was running the game in high settings at 1080p HD. I was getting solid 60FPS (never below 50FPS) until it just randomly crashed. OS: WIN10 64Bit Pro. It is a clean install. My ambient temperature is 22 degrees C, and in HWMonitor my GPU temp max was 60 degrees C, everything else was in the mid 40s range or below. Will this game scale with multi GPU as I am going to buy the RX 480 to crossfire it with my RX 470 I know I will lose 4GB of VRAM.
