If next gen gen consoles arrive with 16GB ram, I think vram usage will shoot through the roof. At that point 8GB might not even be enough. I'm hoping that Vega's HBCC will prove it's worth at that point.

I'm looking to swap my AIB Vega 64 for a reference so itlli fit in my ITX case (thread in the wanted section on MM if anyone's interested). Just wondering what noise levels on the reference are like at idle or watching movies/YouTube?

Hmm, I've only got the one 290 installed, at I got the results above.

Anybody else out there with a Xonar soundcard having issues? Heck, it might be worth someone just running the latencymon on whatever there setup is to see if it makes a difference. I'll see about uninstalling my Xonar and see if the issue goes away.

I take it it's not looking good ?? I started the monitor, played a Youtube video which basically started something was wrong, then I fired up Spotify and Occt and ran them together - running for about 2 minutes.

Using a Asus Xonar DX 7.1 Hope it's not sound card related, not sure if I could take going back to onboard :(.

Hmm, not the best of starts with my R9 290's - doesn't matter which driver I use 14.4, 14.9 or the latest beta, I still have Black screens followed by "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" messages. These black screen's occur at various times, sometimes when on desktop...

Found this link for PCLabs test of nearly 50 CPU !! Although in Polish, I think the bar graphs speak for themselves. Includes both stock and overclocked results. http://pclab.pl/art50000.html

Just had a quick glance at the diagram...I got a feeling this is going to be a APU - possibly the PS4 or Xbox next chip, but most likely an APU.

Fallen God, are those the Silver dbrand backs or the black titanium backs in your pictures?

Well, the title says it all and I haven't got a clue what's causing it. I've got a P2 X2 555 in an Lanparty jr 790GX M2RS and the Vcore will just not stick no matter what I do. As far as I know, the only way to increase vcore on this mobo is by upping the CPU VID Special Add -which I've done...

Out of the 2 I would get the GTX 480 if for nothing else than it has more memory. If you've got access to the members market you can pick a GTX 480 for a bargain price second hand. In fact I'm selling one at the moment - a Gigabyte GTX 480 Super Overclock (about smae speed as a stock GTX 580).

Personally, I would spend £3 more and get this : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-132-MS&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1341 It's fairly similar to the GTX460, but it core clock is higher and it has a full 256bit bus (unlike some GTX 460 with 192bit bus). You also get a...

The "graphicscardbenchmarks" site is a complete waste of time. All it does it compare numbers, ie, rops, shaders, memory, bandwidth. It does not take into account the architecture of the cards it's comparing what-so-ever. As we all know, comparing raw specs is useless. The DaveFran guy just...

Hang about chap, the 550Ti is now where near the level of performance of a HD 6850. I'd cancel that order sharpish and order either a HD6850 : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-174-OK&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1866 or if you want Nvidia, go for a GTX 460 (ignore the...

I'd recommend looking in the Members Market, but I believe you'll need 250 post here and need to have been a member of this forum for 3 months. Have a look for a HD4850 second hand, should be able to find them for around £40 and it'd be quite a step up from a 2900XT (plus use way less power, be...

Your best bet at that price is probably a HD 6850 / 6870. Should be quite a boost from the HD4890. This one is on pre-order for £119.99 : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-143-OK&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1866

I spent £480 ish on my 2 GTX 480 SoC, but that's the most I've ever spent on graphics cards. Plus they really were too good a deal to pass up.

Yep, 2 outputs is for 2 monitors. Can't say for certain what monitor connections your card has, but if it has 2 the same then they are most likely DVI connectors. The standard has been around for quite a while now (you can get VGA to DVI connectors - which sounds like what you have). As for...

I've got 2 GTX 480's SoC on a custom fan profile in afterburner, and they rarely get above 90c, and thats in the hot weather we have at the moment. They idle at 48c for the top, 52c for the bottom card on 30% fan speed (inaudible).
