Hey, I'm doing my first PC Build and I am wondering if I should put a GTX 970, or an R9 390 in it. I keep getting told the R9 390 is better, but I am never getting any solid reasoning behind it. Here is a link to my build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/LF2DWZ Thanks!

Hello, I'm planning on tweaking my graphics card a bit. I want to achieve my card running as quiet and as cool as possible, therefore I thought about lowering the VDDC, therefore undervolting the gpu. Are there any dangers in lowering the VDDC, can I harm my card? I already googled a little bit, most people said there are no dangers, but I think here are competent people. I also want to optimize the fan curve. What do you recommend? Which curves do you use? I'm using Sapphire Trixx. Thanks, Martzel

Hey all, I've been collating a parts list over the past few months to build something with a real leap ahead in performance over my current machine. Not only this, but im trying to balance low cost while being able to future-proof the machine as much as possible with my part choices. My last dilemma comes with choosing a power supply based on the way i want to configure the rig in the future. The parts list for the rig as it currently stands can be found here: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/JFQvJx The problem arises when I look into one of my options for the future. When i can afford it/when I need it i'd like to get another 390 to run in crossfire in the rig. That of course requires alot of additional power, the calculator at outervision.com tells me the load wattage will go from around 500 to 720w and recommends i use an 850 over a 650 for that configuration. If im going to eventually get another 390 i dont want to also have to get another PSU to replace the old one as it just seems a waste. Im also quite aware that in the time it may take for me to need another 390 it may be just as cheap to buy a much newer card at the time, whatever happens to be around in a few years. Cards a few years into the future will probably be alot more efficient in terms of power consumption so i may not even need a PSU of that size. Its all a bit up in the air. Id appreciate any recommendations anyone can make on what route i should take with this as it's really stumping me, thanks Just in case anyone is interested too, my current machine is a 2010 17" MBP. I can't rely on it any longer for heavy workloads as the CPU runs incredibly hot (even for a macbook) between 95-115 Celsius under full load for extended periods and throttles itself so hard i often have to stop what im doing and shut it down for a few hours which does interrupt my workflow somewhat. Its also pretty lacking in terms of raw performance being on 5 year old architecture amongst other things, so i figured it was time to upgrade.

I am looking at the GTX 970 and the R9 380. Which one should I get, or should I get something better. I am going to be playing games like Battlefront, The Witcher 3 and GTA5 and max settings. All help is appreciated, thank you.
-
Is the R9 390 8GB GPU good enough for running games like GTA5 and The Witcher 3 at ultra settings. All help is appreciated, thanks. My build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zBjGCJ

Hi all, I have a quick question that I can't seem to find a proper answer for. I put a Kraken G10 with an Corsair H75 on my MSI 390X and read about VRM temps. VRM Temp 1 in my case gets extremely hot in stresstesting; 110 degrees! The only thing is, where is this VRM 1?? My guess is shown in the picture below, can someone confirm before I order heatsinks that are not needed?

hi everyone, i'm planning to get a r9 390 because my current gpu (hd 7750) is getting a little old. i've already eyeballed the power consumption adn checked with like 5 of those online psu calculators and it seems that my psu can handle it. my parts: 2 sticks of ddr3 ram, 7400rpm and 5400rpm hdd drives, and an i5 3330, oh and also some cheap case fans and minor things; my psu is a corsair cx750. oh btw i don't have anything overclocked nor i plan to do at least for now, and yes, i know the cpu is probably going to bottleneck the gpu, but i have the money for a gpu now so i'm getting the best one i can afford, later on i'll update mobo+cpu PS: i didn't know if this belonged to psu forum or gpu forum, so feel free to move it wherever you want

Hey everyone! My GTX 690 has gone to sh*t lately, so i'm going to upgrade my GPU. But in the process, i might aswell update some of my other parts, and those include: -a new Chassis -New PSU for R9 390 Nitro. -Cooling for OC. Now, for the GPU, i'm looking at the R9 390 Nitro, since the AMD market is a little cheaper than the Nvidia market here in Denmark. As for the new chassis, i've been looking at the Corsair Graphite 760T, since it looks REALLY awesome, and it provides lots of workspace for later on. As for the PSU, i have no idea whether i need to upgrade, since i bought the PC through a company, that custom-builds PCs back in 2012. For the cooling, i have no clue as to what is neccessary, but i've heard that AMD GPUs typically run a lot hotter than Nvidia, and tend to need better cooling all around. I would also like to OC if possible. My current speccs look like this: https://i.imgur.com/wyrWsF9.png And last, but not least, what i expect from the build: I'd like to run GTA V at High/Ultra settings, at around the 60 FPS mark. I'm also wating for Fallout 4 to release, but if it runs GTA at nice speeds, it should be able to do Fallout 4 just fine. My budget is around 700-900€, i'm a little flexible, but would like to stay around the 600-700€ mark. Thank you for reading!

Hi, I've recently upgraded to an MSI R9 390 GPU (from an XFX 6950) and I'm experiencing constant driver crashes with it. Whenever I try to play a game or do something graphics-intensive, the drivers usually crash within seconds. Even when out of game, I sometimes experience the occasional crash. I can't pin down if it's the card, the drivers, or something else with the computer. I recently got it replaced, but sadly the replacement is still having the same problem. I've tried the following since I got the replacement: Fresh install Windows 10 and the drivers - still crashing. Update to the Beta drivers - still crashing. Tried to install older versions of the drivers (back from Win7/Win8) on Win10.. wouldn't install! Worth a shot anyway. Fresh install Windows 7 and tried out different versions there - still crashing. Here are my specs: ASUS P8Z68-V PRO Motherboard Intel Core i5 2500K - Sandy Bridge HyperX Beast 8GB RAM (1600 MHz, DDR3) Corsair CX850M PSU Crucial 256GB SSD WD Blue 500GB, WD Red 1TB This all started to happen after I updated my graphics driver to the latest version. I initially replaced the PSU (initially a 600W) - however that didn't solve the issue. Is there anything else that I could try to fix the crashing? I've very much hit a brick wall with this. The old card works absolutely fine in the computer - so could it be a driver/card problem?

Ok, i really want to buy the LG 29um67 (the freesync version). I know what AMD's FreeSync is but am confused by how the 290x, 290 and so on are more compatible with FreeSync than the r9 390 (the GPU i will be using in my next build). Ive heard that the 290 has access to dynamic refresh rates with FreeSync while the r9 390 doesn't? Can someone explain all this to me?
-
So, out of curiosity I tried out my new 390 on heaven. In OpenCL, this happens: Help? It happens at stock speeds too, and I've used guru3D's driver removal tool to get rid of my old 660's nvidia drivers.

Alright guys, so I dont know if you followed my previous post, but I am keeping my GTX 770 SLI setup for my main gaming rig for now. But now I am trying to decide on which mid grade AMD video card to get for my secondary rig. I wont be gaming much on it, aside from maybe Mobas, and maybe some CS: GO and other casual games. Ill be watching alot of twitch on it and web surfing. Now ive been looking at the r9 290, but that card looks like it MIGHT be on par with my main SLI setup... maybe too powerful of a card? Do you guys have good suggestions on a card that would'nt be overkill for my needs, that would be able to run 2 monitors (maybe an ultra wide)? Since were looking at mid grade cards, price really isn't an issue (maybe it is, $300 or below, lol). Love ya guys, thanks for your input! PS - Ill be running and z97 chipset mobo, 700w power supply, 16gb 1600 ram, and an intel i5 4690k devils canyon

Catalyst 15.7 is still a fail! I looked up on AMDs page and they do not support 15.04 version of Ubuntu, but they do support 14.04 so I will send Penguin Recordings a tip about it tomorrow...

So I have some trouble deciding about my gpu, I already now that I do not want any nvidia card (except 980ti but that's out of my budget lol). I just don't know what to get between the 390, 390x or maybe even extend my budget by a bit and get the Fury (non x), also need help with what brand to buy and such. Been looking at the asus strix card aswell as the MSI cards. My specs: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Ttb3pg Might be getting a second one in the future and if so, would I need a bigger psu? I will be playing: GTAV, BF4, CS:GO and the new NFS which will be releasing soon.. I play at 1080p atm but will probably move up to 1440p/21:9 or even 4k but that won't happen in the next 6 months at least.

Hey all, First time posting But I've been really struggling making up my mind on what GPU to upgrade to. Currently, I have a GTX 260... so realistically I know I'm winning either way! My setup will be: - primarily gaming on a 24" 1080p monitor - occasional gaming on 50" 4K TV, via HDMI - as well as Netflix, HTPC usage on the same 4K TV I have narrowed down my choices to the EVGA 970 SSC, or one of the R9 390s. Understanding that the R9 390 does not have HDMI 2.0, I have read that gaming will be subpar at 30hz (since my TV does not have a DP option). However, the 390 will likely be better long term due to the Directx 12, 8GB etc. I've read some promising reports of an 'active' adapter in-the-works for DP to HDMI 2.0 but there will apparently be other issues to worry about. With what I intend to use it for in mind, and the fact that I would not like to replace the card for several years, what do you suggest? In the next 3-5 years will VRAM really become an issue if I go with the HDMI 2.0 ready card (970)? Should I look more long term and hope for a proper adapter to develop- or will I even notice a large difference gaming in 4K at 30hz? Thank you!
-
Hey all, I was originally going to buy the 380, but if I have a little more money available is it worth getting the 390, just to future proof it a little bit and feel the full affect of later games, I am money tightish so I need something to convince me to get the 390.

Hello first of all I am a Linus Tech Tips follower who watched Linus' channel for quite some time and enjoyed their content very much. The time has now come for me to build a PC of my own and I am asking for advice where possible about my future upcoming build and on stuff that can be improved. 1. Budget & Location The location is Germany and my budget is around 1400 Euros with the monitor. 2. Aim This build will be a small form factor build to use for mainly gaming and uni stuff (computer science). I'm looking for some solid 1080p gaming but it should complement the 144Hz monitor that goes with it. The main games will be AAA titles as well as some Diablo 3, Dota 2 and Skyrim which even lower-end cards should handle with little hassle. 3. Monitors In my build I have added a 24" 1080p 144Hz monitor. It will be a single monitor setup and I think the screen size should be enough for my daily needs where the 144Hz will be a new experience for me. 4. Peripherals I might look into a new mechanical keyboard but would not be able to decide from so many switches. What I look to type on is my Macbook Pro which has a nice keyboard and the right amount of force to type. The mouse has already been taken care of - Steelseries Sensei - a investment I don't actually regret but question after two years of use (that useless back display). 5. Why are you upgrading? I am 'upgrading' because I couldn't take my old HAF 912 i5 2500k 6950 1GB with me to Germany and am now seeking to build a SFF PC. Although light gaming is possible on my 13" 2010 MacBook Pro (Geforce 320M, Dota 2 at avg. 30fps (ohgod) I cannot do that for more than one session. Quick copy-pasta I am not sure which vendor of the 390 I should go with and thus want to ask for opinions too regarding the size and cooling of such a big card in a smaller-ish case like this one. main points in choosing the parts CPU: I chose the i5-4460 because I don't think I would overclock it and went with the small Noctua NH-L9i CPU cooler because I thought a little upgrade from the stock cooler wouldn't hurt but see no benefit in going with water-cooling because I don't intend to oc. GPU: A few months ago if you'd ask me which GPU I'd choose I'd say without hesitation a GTX 970 even knowing very well about the 3.5GB VRAM problem because I had a mouse bug with Dota 2 in the past with my 6950 so that playing even for a round can cause this problem which was a huge pain in the ass because it distracted me from my game - which is also the reason I lost a little trust in Team Red but seeing now the price/performance of AMD is much better than Team Green and that drivers are getting better and better (so I've read and saw here) I am giving AMD another chance. Case: It took a long time for me to choose a right mini-ITX case where the point is not to make it as small as possible but just being small overall while looking nice and I think I hit the nail on the head on this one. PSU: Since I am not really into this OC thing and read that 500 Watt should be enough (although maybe not a safe bet) I considered the fully modular SilverStone PSU where I can buy the optional short cables to complement the small case and have less of a mess in general. Monitor: I don't have much knowledge in Monitors but in the same price range there were some 24" 144Hz displays to choose from and I by looks of it the build quality doesn't seem so bad and doesn't look so bad as some 24" 144Hz displays.

Hey guys, So I have just bought a brand new XFX r9 390 (non x) gpu. I have installed it along with an ssd in an attempt to upgrade my system a wee bit. I seem to have a severe throttling issue with the GPU though, it will fluctuate from 0%-100% every few seconds or more, but it is constantly doing it during games and benchmarks. When I have ran the default FireStrike in 3DMark, during the first two graphics tests, I get 100% usage all the time, but; during the combined test I get the crazy fluctuation with the GPU usage, CPU only reaches about 60% but does not fluctuate too much. I also only seem to be able to reach mid 50fps average in the first graphics test and 40ish for the second, which I thought was quite low for the standard 1080p test? So far I have uninstalled and reinstated the latest drivers from AMD about 3 times, updated my mobo BIOS and removed any overclocks on my CPU, just incase. I am at a loss why this is happening as everything is now stock, all temps are fine, <68C for GPU, CPU temps are also good (cooling with NH-D14) This happens in games also, I have tried ARMA, war thunder, GTA5 & World of Warships. I also have a fresh install of windows 8.1 on my ssd. Here is a screen shot of the GPU usage during the combined test, sometimes its worse sometimes its the same as below, but its constantly doing it, even in games. Be great if you guys could give me some tips on solving the issue, my specs are listed below. FX- 8350, XFX r9 390, ASRock 990fx extreme4 mobo 750W corsair HX750i power supply 16gb corsair vengance RAM, Samsung 850 evo SSD 2tb HD Fractal Design R5 Case. Best Regards xJaffaCake

Hello, I'm thinking about buying a R9 390, but I'm not sure which manufacturer I should choose. I'm tending to Asus or MSI, but they're the most expensive ones, are they the extra cost? Thank you, Martzel

Hi, my friend wants a $1200 Gaming PC. Performance and bang-for-the-buck come first, but looks are also important to him with this build. He's interested in maxing out games in 1080p. My question is: do you think this hits a nice balance? The s340 is certainly a nice case for cable management, so no worries there, but I think the price could be brought down with a cheaper motherboard. What are your opinions?

Will an i5 4460 Bottleneck an AMD R9 390?
tcolecruz posted a topic in CPUs, Motherboards, and Memory
My friend wants to build a new gaming rig, and I think that it would be a good combination. Do you know if one will bottleneck the other? if so, what would be an alternative? -
Hi guys! I'm about to buy the ASUS R9 390 in a couple of weeks as part of a step by step upgrade to my computer (cause i don't have that instacash) but my PC only has 6gb of RAM, it stated on the site that it needs at least 8gb to run, is this true? Won't I be able to use the card at all? PC specs: Phenom II x4 955 Gigabyte 880gm-ud2h 6 gb RAM 1600mhz (3*2gb) Radeon HD 5670 In case you are wondering: I'm picking that card because I want to play WoW on Ultra at 90+ fps in 1440p, and... well that's all. 970 is not an option, I don't want that card, really, besides I'm buying a Free-sync display (XG270HU). Also I'm picking ASUS because it uses the same PCB as the DCUII 290x so its the only one with waterblock available, I'm planning to watercool the whole PC once it is finished. I want the GPU now because my present one stopped working 6 days ago :'(. Damn 5 year old computer. u.u Thanks for your help!

My main gaming rig is a main AMD rig. I own an 8350 with 16gb of Ram and an old 7970. I've got the money now to upgrade some stuff and turn my PC from a 1080p machine to a 1440p machine and i want to max out every game i throw at it. I was going to buy the Sapphire Tri-X Fury but then i started looking about and thought if I get 2 390's and Crossfire them, its going to cost around $100 more and get possibly better performance. I know SLI/CF are still in its infancy and its not the best to try but I feel in most games I play that don't support the 1 390 can handle it. I feel that the only reason to stop me at this point to not get the 2 390's is either its a ripoff or my processor is going to bottleneck. I know the 2 390's makes it closer to the Fury X price range but I don't want to buy a water cooled graphics card and I don't want to be strapped down to only 4gb. Is this a good idea or am I just stupid and should go for the Fury/FuryX?

Hey there! So originally I was going to go with this build for my new little mini gaming rig. I was all set to go with it, until someone mentioned that I might want to go with this graphics card instead of this one. To me, they look pretty much the same, and forking over an extra $25 for a 0.03GHz clock speed increase didn't make much sense, but I told him I'd think about it and I thought I would ask you kind people over here what you thought about it, because hey, I'm new and maybe I missed something. But then, when I came to this section of the site, I saw this post, which basically makes it sound like I'm a stupid idiot for choosing a GTX 970 over an R9 390 and now I'm all confused. :wacko: My rig will be used for medium gaming at 1080p (and maybe later 1440p, but not in the near future). What should I get? A 970? A 390? Something else? :blink: This is where I'm at so far, build-wise. Stealthy edit: After about 30 seconds of double-checking, it turns out the card I have in my build is 280mm, when the support page for the case says it can only support up to 279mm. So, I guess if I'm going with a 970, I'm going with the one my friend recommended, because it's 11mm shorter.
