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!

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.

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. -
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

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

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

http://deliddedtech.com/2016/02/06/amds-downclocking-issue-explained/ Thoughts? While I appreciate reduced power consumption, temperatures, and fan speeds while running games that don't stress the GPU, the potential stutter and frame drops it causes can be extremely annoying. Do you think AMD needs to adjust this function at all to improve performance? TL;DR:

Hello LTT Forum users, I hope everyone is having a great Friday and preparing for valentines day with their loved ones. I myself was gifted an Asus MG279Q Free-sync monitor for V-Day and I was curious if it was normal for my gaming temps to Increase by 5-10+ Degrees While Gaming at 1440p over 1080p. Nothing else has changed at all in the system as far as hardware or fan speed etc. Just Curious. If anyone could give any input it will be much appreciated, Thanks And Enjoy your Weekend Specs: i7 4790k, 16gb Ram, xfx r9 390 DD, Nzxt h440 black edition, MSI z97 Krait , EK Predator 240, rm850 psu.

i was wondering if an R9 390 would be good enough to run a 4k monitor. Well NOT for gaming but for photo and video editing. I will also be using two other accessory monitors (1080 and 1050) Or is 1440p a better option

My main objective here is to be cheapest possible while getting the most gaming performance out of $820. I haven't used part picker before and I am a avid Amazon user with prime - I generally prefer buying all parts on Amazon for free 2 day shipping. My plan includes buying an Asus M32CD (pre-built) $440, 725w PSU $45, R9 390 $320, and a 92mm fan $15. I know what you're thinking with opting for a prebuilt but my reasoning includes the facts that it comes with decent cpu, hdd, free 2 day shipping and w10 OS. My planned spec-list (All on Amazon): $320 Sapphire 11244-01-20G Radeon Nitro R9 390 8gb GDDR5 $45 Sentey Xplus Power Supply 725 watt $15 Fractal Design Silent Series R2 92mm fan $440 M32CD Desktop (prebuilt): i5-6400 3.3ghz oc 8gb ddr3, 1tb 7200rpm windows 10 Asus case w/ decent layout (upgradable space) Asus H110-I/M32CD4/DP-MB Motherboard TOTAL: $820 + Free 2-Day shipping *Is this a good plan considering that I do not have any real pc building experience, I want to stay with Amazon (for free 2 day shipping), and I want a high performance gaming pc? Will the mobo and or i5-6400 bottleneck my gaming significantly? Games I want to play range from good cinematics like Tomb Raider or Batman to games like Rust and DayZ on high-max settings. In addition to my purchases I have a few old spare parts lying around: i7-870 (quad-core and w/ hyperthreading) Crucial 250gb ssd 2x8gb Kingston HyperX Genesis DDR3 8gb Unfortunately, I am not sure if these spare parts still work, for they were sitting in a cheap ziplock bag, in a box, in our guest room (went through two moves). Another big question is that the Asus Prebuilt is also available in i3-4170 Dual-core 3.7ghz with no indication of a mobo change and for almost $100 less - so should I go with that instead then replace the i3 with my i7 (working presumably)? The problem is that I don't want to be stuck with an i3 if my i7 cpu does not work. I am obviously a noob still so I need all the help I can get before I drop $800+ on a desktop. Thank you in advance for your help!

I am looking at upgrading my graphics card to either a 390 or a gtx 970. Which one should I choose? According to YouTube benchmarks they are about equal or the 390 pulls ahead a little. GPU Boss has some good data on each card and it seems the 390 is the better card but is that true? Should I get a 390 or 970?

I am currently looking at upgrading my graphics card from a R9 270 to a R9 390 or a GTX 970. I have a 500w power supply right now running fine but if I put in a 390 I'm afraid it'll go over the limit and I do not want to upgrade the power supply. If that is the case then I will get a 970 which according to YouTube, is not as good as the 390. Will a 500w power supply be sufficient for gaming on a 390 or do I need more power???

So Chinese New Year has come and gone and I've got all my red packet money ready to spend on a new graphics card. My budget is around $320US/$444CAD. I have been eyeing up the R9 390 from Sapphire (~$326USD/$451CAD) with the backplate for a long time but in light of all the upcoming Pascal/Polaris in the next quarter or two, I'm re-evaluating whether I should spend a little less and buy something cheaper such as the following: Inno3D 750Ti $114US/$150CAD Sapphire Nitro R9 380 4G ~$211US/$293CAD Sapphire Dual-X 2G R9 380 for ~$178US/$246CAD MSI GTX 960 4G $220US/$305CAD MSI GTX 950 2g $166US/$230CAD My current setup is a i5 6600k with 2x8GB RAM on a 850 Evo 250GB (with 2x2TB hard drives for data storage), all powered by a Cooler Master v650 fully modular PSU. Display is onboard Intel 530 graphics on a 1080p monitor. For me I don't need all ULTRA graphics (but would be nice) but something more that is more than capable of running the games smoothly at 1080p (2k/4k isn't a necessity) with enough eye candy. Games that I do intend to play are: Fallout 4, Project Cars, CoD:BO3, Just Cause 3, MGS5, Mad Max. Also other less graphic intensive games such as Car Mechanic Simulator, Sniper Elite 3 (I'm actually playing that right now with my onboard, albeit slightly laggy, lol), Kerbal Space Program. So it's either: Cheaper graphics card now, wait until the next wave of cards come out then buy the new generation cards. OR Cheaper graphics card now, wait until current cards (980Ti) becomes cheaper and purchase that. OR Buy the R9 390 and use that for next 2-3 years before upgrading. Decisions.

So I have been having a problem with my R9 390 is almost every game, my gpu usage is all over the place, it isnt my CPU because my cpu usage is at 70% all the time during games, I have a FX 8320 overclocked to 4.3 ghz. On a MSI 970 Gaming motherboard and a Corsair RM 1000 power supply . I am currently on windows 10 pro 64 bit. Please help

Hello, all! I'm trying to build an AMD based SFF PC, for VR. (Node 202, Core 500, RVZ01 or RVZ02 were the cases I was looking at) So which High-End AMD cards do you think would work best in this situation? (I remember blower fans work better in small spaces) Thanks!

Asus r9 390 Strix not functioning properly - not posting
LimeCordil posted a topic in Graphics Cards
A hiccup in the upgrade process Yesterday I bought myself a brand new Asus r9 390 Strix edition GPU. I was very excited until my system didn't post. This was bad. Very bad. There's about a 10% chance that the system posts. When it does, everything is fine until you run absolutely anything which has the potential to be graphically intensive like a game or a benchmark. When it doesn't post, I get the following error codes displayed on the motherboard: D6 - No colsole output(s) detected B2 - Legacy option ROM initalization I have taken the card back to the place of purchase (CPL) and they were able to boot several times, as well as run FurMark and the entire 3DMark suite of benchmarks. They came to the conclusion that my motherboard may not be compatible with the new GPU. Because of this, they aren't obliged to replace or refund the GPU. I've done about 20 minutes of research to check the compatibility of my motherboard and the card but have found nothing on the topic. I have also tried updating/resetting the BIOS, using only one stick of RAM, resetting the CMOS, re-seating the card, reinstalling the graphic drivers. My system work perfectly fine when using my other graphics card (HIS 7850). My system specs are: CPU: AMD FX-6300 @ stock (3.5 Ghz, 4.1 Ghz Turbo) CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Nepton 240m Motherboard: Asrock 970 Extreme4 RAM: (2x4gb) Kingston HyperX Fury, (2x8gb) G.skill Ripjaws GPU: Asus R9 390 OC Strix Edition HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1tb PSU: Silverstone Strider Plus 80+ Silver 850w Case: Thermaltake Chaser A31 -
On the EKWB configuration page for the MSI R9 390 Gaming 8G Radeon R9 390 8GB GDDR5 it says a full coverage block is coming soon, what sort of timeline is to be expected here? -
Hey guys I'm building my first computer and need help on debating if it is worth an extra $100 to buy the 390. I can afford either card and what PSU would you recommend. I would be playing on a 1080p or 1440p monitor not sure yet and the games I play aren't the most demanding but would it be worth buying the 390 for future proofing?

hey guys is the R9 1050 Mhz worth the $25 increase from the R9 1015 Mhz version both are XFX.

So I've been looking at graphics cards a lot lately for friends who are building PCs. One thing I've noticed is that... the sexy reference cooler AMD designed for the R9 3xx re-badges is NOWHERE to be found. sure there are the one off ones made by AMD themselves, but why are reference cards by companies like XFX still using the old design? (Pictures related)

Ok, so I have new computer build: GPU: AMD R9 390 CPU: Intel skylake 6600K PSU: XFX 550W MOTHERBOARD: MSI Gaming M5 RAM: Corsair vengeance 2133Mhz 8GB. When i play Battlefield 3 on ULTRA settings my fps is pretty low and i cant play it. I need to put my settings to high and disable all settings like AA and then i can barely play it(still lags) or when i play Fallout 4 and go inside house my fps drops a lot(This happens in any settings but in low settings its not so much) And when i go to the "Institute" my fps is around 30-40 inside the institute. Fps is stable 60 when im in wasteland but in city it drops 30-40. And when I play smite i have horrible performance I just cant play smite with this setup. And yeah i tried crysis 2 ULTRA it worked better than SMITE. When i play games I need to enable Vsync because if i limit my fps with Dxtory the game stutters A LOT. I can play games only with Vsync ON. In GtaV i get stuttering all the time with ultra and high settings. Please help! AfterBurner Gpu usage when i play Battlefield 3 and stopped playing Battlefield 3: https://gyazo.com/8ce69221acfe740af9c084e25f6a88d9 <- Look that Gpu usage And yeah I enabled unified GPU usage monitoring. Yes and i reinstalled GPU drivers 2 times. Help pls Update - Here is AB when i play Fallout4 near diamond city Vsync ON. https://gyazo.com/46f805abe25aa0cfc0025a32a046f723

I have a question to you guys. I want to buy a R9 390x card and I was going for a Sapphire card. But I live in Europe where the difference between a 390 and a 390x is about 130€. And I was wondering if the price difference is worth the product. Or should I just stick to the 390 and save my money?

Hey there! So I just recently updated my graphics drivers to the new Radeon Crimson software, and I'm noticing that my performance with my dual R9 390 rig is not as good as it should be. I'm wondering if others who have crossfire setups are noticing the same? My 3D Mark score is still as high as I would expect it, but my in-game performance is right around where I would get with a single R9 390. I'm assuming this is simply due to the nature of the brand new software, but I'm interested to find out if this is a common issue.

Hi everybody, I'm building my first serious Desktop PC and I would like to know you opinions about some of the items. 1. Budget & Location My budget is around $1400, my location is Europe, Hungary. 2. Aim My aim is to build a good all around PC, which can be used for gaming (e.g. Witcher 3, Shadow of Mordor or the newest games at the time), browsing, watching movies, rendering RAW files in Photoshop, etc. 3. Monitors Currently I'm on a single monitor with 1920x1080 resolution, it's possible that I'll be using dual monitors in the future. 4. Peripherals I'm all set 5. Why are you upgrading? I'm using a Lenovo Y580, and it's time to migrate to a Desktop PC CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 CPU cooler: CRYORIG H7 Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-B150-HD3P RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-RAM 16GB PC4-19200 Kit SSD: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB WD10EZEX VGA: MSI GeForce GTX 970 GAMING 4G 4GB or Sapphire Radeon R9 390 Nitro 8GB PCIe Case: NZXT Source 530 ATX Full Tower Case PSU: Seasonic SSR-550RM or EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GS 650W Thermal Compound: Arctic Cooling MX-4 Coolers: 2x Corsair AF140 (CO-9050009-WW) Total: ~$1170 I've looked into deeply all of the items in this list and now I'm indecisive about some of them, party because the reviews are so mixed. Lets start with the CPU, I'm not planning to do any overclocking (I don't have much experience in it, and I kinda wants stuff to perform out of the box, I'm too much used to BMW I guess), so that's why I chose a non "K" version, but I'm not sure if this is strong enough for this build. About the motherboard, same story, no OC, but still might need a little better. One of the areas where I'm the most confused at is the VGA department... should I chose between the R9 390 and the GTX 970 or save up for a 390X or even GTX980? Power supply, well what I'm looking for is a quality 550-650W semi or preferably fully modular PSU for a reasonable price. I've already ordered the CRYORIG H7 CPU Cooler because it's hard to get in Hungary and I have to wait a month to get it.
