they dont want you to OC the 295x2 either... i still did it.

 

AMD can say whatever they want. Ill buy their product and do as i please with it afterwards

But if they pulled an Nvidia (eg. locking laptop GPU through a driver update, and preventing my friend from overclocking is GTX 860M to past the performance of a GTC 870M in an MSI laptop that was designed to have the GPU overclocked alongside the 4 core unlocked mobile i7.....

then i would get salty and learn how to mod the bios and GPU driver.

 

if i want to do something, i will acquire the skills the achieve my goals.

Yes it may seem a bit arrogant to say "i have no limits". But i really am blessed with the ability to learn stuff really easily...

I feel obliged to resurrect this topic over the debate me and some other had over the R9 Nano's thermal throttling - it thermal throttles! thanks @LinusTech for his latest video, watercooling a bunch of R9 Nanos:

 

 

my initial observation over the R9 Nano clocks was absolutely correct! the stock air cooling forces the card to thermal throttle; against many others saying, including Ryan Shrout, that it was reaching the power limit

 

#vindicated  ^_^

He also mentioned it's the most efficient card on the market.

I don't this resurrecting an old news thread for the purpose of continuing an old argument because you found more ammunition is really allowed...
