  1. I love this style of video. I think it really gives us that dose of "classic" LTT style (handcammed, etc) and kinda gave me that old LTT vibe. You guys should do more of these little videos, they are great.
  2. Nope, different width doesn't bother me at all.
  3. I have some secondary fdell monitors that I use flipped sideways, and am looking for a montitor with a vertical height of 14.5 in. (My ocd won't let me have monitors with different heights Any suggestions or ideas on anything related to this are welcome.
  4. Yeah, it probably is a driver issue. Note, my FX-6300 shouldn't (at least to my knowledge) bottleneck a 270, it also never bottlenecked my 280x (In the games I played). Also, by "normal" usage, I meant the cpu usage was normal, not the gpu. Poorly worded on my part
  5. Yeah, I will. I use a dedicated driver uninstaller whenever I reinstall drivers, but they haven't seemed to make any difference in previous experiences.
  6. Both card and cpu around 50C while running games, and temps did not jump up at any point, I'm going to try the other slot right now, thank you for helping.
  7. Tried with tons of different mixes of graphics settings, did not help at all :\
  8. So, I am using an Asus R9 270x, while my 280x is being RMA'd. When installing it, i noticed slightly lower than expected performance, eg in bf4. I have ntoiced over the past week, the fps has gradually gotton worse and worse, from 50-60 on low now to barely 20 on low. I thought this was definitely thermal throttling, but checked. All my temps are fine, both cpu and gpu wise. Also, my cpu isn't bottlenecking it, and usage on is normal. I did notice, in gpu tweak that my gpu usage was around 20%-30%, I have uninstalled all gpu drivers with a driver uninstaller, and reinstalled new ones, still the same problem.
  9. I am buying two 970's, amd am wondering if my i5 4690k would bottleneck them.
  10. I was actually planning to do exactly this, ith the vrm heatsinks, glad to see a great post informing others on this great option. I actually am buying a Phanteks entho pro soon, and was thinking of doing the exact same color scheme Could I request more pictures of your rig
  11. Not linking two psu's together, but plugging the 450 in, running the 8 and 4 pins to the gpu, and leaving everything else on the 630. It should give plenty of power for one 280x, and let me know whether or not the power supply is the problem. (Kinda hoping it is because that = forcing myself to get a new one )
  12. Huh. I was under the impression that it would only draw ~450w under load, at least based on pcpartpicker, I do have an extra 450w I could try to strap to the 280x and nothing else, and use the 630 for the rest of the system to see if that is the problem.
  13. I know it isn't the best psu, is a problem in itself, and will replace it asap, but is that honestly the source of this problem?
