Vesuvius because it's going to spit flames and explode.

This.

Two chips at 95C within 3 inches of each other? My God man. Melt the PCB why don't you?

should have been an R9 295X that would make room for an R9 295 non x :P

Console optimisations and how they will effect you | The difference between AMD cores and Intel cores | Memory Bus size and how it effects your VRAM usage |
How much vram do you actually need? | APUs and the future of processing | Projects: SO - here

Intel i7 5820l @ with Corsair H110 | 32GB DDR4 RAM @ 1600Mhz | XFX Radeon R9 290 @ 1.2Ghz | Corsair 600Q | Corsair TX650 | Probably too much corsair but meh should have had a Corsair SSD and RAM | 1.3TB HDD Space | Sennheiser HD598 | Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro | Blue Snowball

Watercooling with 50 rads for this card? Thats gonna be like trying to cool a nuclear reactor with a 80mm 1000rpm fan ^^,

 

Unless you have have molten lava spewing out the back of your pc, i suggest you go get some liquid nitrogen for this one. ;D

Hey AMD,

Fix your goddamn naming.

This should be what... A 8990? Doesn't an actual 8xxx series exist. Or did they just skip over that and get comfy with R5-R9 designations.

The 8XXX series were rebadged 7XXX series GPUs for OEM only things like laptops and such.

why did you guys have to bump this old thread ugh

Real programmers don't document, if it was hard to write, it should be hard to understand.
I've learned that something constructive comes from every defeat.
