WTFBEES posted:Has anyone gotten AMD's VSR to work with a 2560x1440 monitor? I can get it to work on my 1920x1200 one but the option is nowhere to be found on the one I actually want to make prettier. I just tried this I get 3200 x 1800 scaled to 2560x1440 and just found out that my most played game UI now supports higher resolutions.

Has there ever been a card which could max out every single game that came out when it came out because I keep expecting that to happen and it obviously won't.

cisco privilege posted:I'd believe that for a 6800 Ultra maybe (although IIRC they could struggle in DOOM3 with uncompressed textures), but the 5-series was such a mess I'd be surprised if that applied across the board to DX9 titles. Yeah, the 6800 / X800 series hit just as a lot of high requirement games did. I was figuring that the inferior 5900 Ultra might have fared better just because it didn't have to fight HL2 / Doom 3 / Painkiller like the 6800 did.

The IR camera is also looking at the back of the card though, the VRMs on the front side- e: Oh nevermind, they're on both sides of the card. Derp. Odd that the front side ones have heatsink contact but the ones on the back are just left open like that?

Last night I drove one hour out to the farmlands of Enumclaw, WA to pick up two GTX 970s /w Batman for $480. My glorious haul was stopped in its tracks by the traffic of a Steely Dan concert. loving Steely Dan. My motherboard cant even support two cards. Probably gonna flip one on Ebay and end up with one really cheap 970.

And let's face it, that's not why any of us go to Fry's. We go there because we need it now, we need it today, it's an emergency, and even next-day shipping from Amazon won't suffice. But they will price match off Amazon and Best Buy, so, I *guess* you could try hitting up some of the South Bay Fry's and try to get that price on the 980?

 that 980 price. I'm going to be refreshing like mad. I wasn't planning on SLI'ing my but I will at that price loledit: I just called micro center and was told they arent carrying that model anymore, which is why its on such a steep sale, and once their gone their gone (which I can only imagine they are gone pretty much everywhere). Edit again, I checked, they are out of stock in every store. You can try and pull a price match on that but I doubt it'd go through. Man I'm pissed I missed this Also whats up with the air cooling beating the factory water cooling for the fury vs furyx? That's insane. Even the cheapest AIO + cheap rear end bracket absolutely shreds any and all air cooling in general. Did they gently caress it up somehow? 1gnoirents fucked around with this message at 23:55 on Jul 10, 2015 |

BurritoJustice posted:Even if it does, gains from overvolting on stock BIOS's have been incredibly minor on every GPU in recent memory, so I doubt it will provide a significant boost to compare to Maxwell overclocking. That limitation doesn't seem to have gone away with newer cards, but then the process and design haven't fundamentally changed much either so there wasn't much reason to expect it to. I think they just need to reduce the prices some and they'd have a lineup that offered good bang for the buck vs NV which would still let them sell plenty of cards. At the moment it seems there are enough AMD enthusiasts, and supplies on Fiji are low enough, where they can sell them out at current prices which IMO isn't very good from a business standpoint. To me it strongly suggests that Fiji will just be a super low volume 'halo' product throughout its life and won't really be practical to buy for most people. Maybe its because HBM isn't quite ready for wide spread use or maybe AMD just doesn't have the engineering resources. I don't know really, just speculating. Perhaps they'll surprise me and get enough production with a reasonable price reduction to make Fiji more practical from a bang vs buck stand point, but that is a optimistic view which hasn't been panning out for a while now when it comes to AMD's stuff.

IMO it really depends on how the Nano is priced. Fiji seems to scale downwards pretty well at lower clocks and shader counts, so if Nano is an even more cut down card that's cheap in comparison to the full-voltage Furies it could be definite value at $400.

There isn't any specific answer but i mean, you can basically assume they are stepups and refurbs and returns. Dont know how quickly more will get on there though. They probably need to hold stock for real rma's for a bit.

I would assume it would depend on their stock levels. I'd imagine that step-up trade ins get reconditioned and mixed into the same pool as repaired RMA'd cards that are then sold as B-stock and/or shipped off as RMA replacement cards.
