    **Official THIEF-Incorporating AMD™ Mantle™/True Audio™/Bench mark Thread**

    Them 290s been mining for months ... finally decided to put them to gaming use as the 280s are more cost effective :) Thief still feels a touch choppy with this rig on max settings @ 1600p so looking forward to what mantle brings ...

    ***THE BF4 BENCHMARKS THREAD***

    Haven't played in ages but got my gaming rig sort of back on track by donating a pair of 7950s to the cause to partner the 4930k now off mining duty support ... :D What's the current advice re the drivers and mantle ? Have these installed at the moment [amd_catalyst_13.11_betav9.5] and...

    Project C.A.R.S on 4 Titans and 3 4K screens

    Have this and Xfire is ropey at best! I am now getting to like the feeling of the game after not playing it for months as handling was crap ... Will have to look at assetto now ..

    ***THE BF4 BENCHMARKS THREAD***

    Fired up BF4 ... and it would not go into full screen so I was trying to play with max settings on one half of a 7990 @ 1600p ... not good! I set it to full screen and it blanked for a minute or so and came back as it was - which was borderless mode .. bah! Back to the coins :)

    ** FAO: MINERS - COME ON IF YOU THINK YOU'RE HARD ENOUGH!! **

    Got 8mh/s now and last 10 days excluding cats windfall saw $800 with maybe 3 full days speculative mining on tips/cats and other coins. doge had a part to play there too! Gear is paid for now from mining so only electricity running cost to be considered from here ... I am aiming to accumulate...

    Put the miner off duty for a bit to see what 2x7990 game like @ 1600p :) 4930k @ 4.7 ghz is a Bottleneck .. lol! Fraps failed to record the average for some reason .. but suffice to say is was smooth and lots of high triple digit fps ! GPU usage is below (that drop must have been in a menu...

    *** Official AMD 7990 Owners Thread ***

    Had my second 7990 running since Monday evening (earned me about £40 since then!) so I thought I'd give it a break - I turned the miners off, rebooted to play some games ... Crysis 3 on max settings + 8xSMAA was somewhat laggy .. but with 4xSMAA is was lovely on 1600p - no overclock on the...

    ***THE BF4 BENCHMARKS THREAD***

    Nothing special .. 7990 works well for me @ 1600p ... maybe cpu grunt is required ? Or, maybe mantle! see the AB screenie here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=25359346&postcount=4774

    Worth continuing with my i7 920?

    I gave in and got me a 4930k a few weeks back ... from a 920 @ 4.2ghz. No regrets ... cpu is @ 4.7ghz wich delivers a noticable improvement for my use (VMs and Games). That's me set for another 4 years!

    7990 Custom Bios - Remove Throttling

    I use AB to specify 20% power and set the clocks to 1100/1650 on default 1.2 volts. I see the clocks on the KB LCD panel and they stay fixed at those values. When I run @ stock I see the 950 and lower clocks on occasion .. Just wondering if I am missing something here wrt throttling as I...

    Faulty Ram: passed memtest tests

    On power up one day my 920 (@1600ddr) rig emitted a few more beeps than normal and proceeded to constantly cycle a reboot. On investigation I decided it was one particular stick of ram that caused this (had 6x4GB in it). So, the pc would not boot with that stick of ram installed .. in an amd rig...

    *** Official AMD 7990 Owners Thread ***

    May not be related but I had issues getting AB to save my settings consistently with 7990/7970 (would work sometimes) so I now edit the profiles directly and that works for me, every time. It's like there is an issue with the AB code syncing multiple GPUs via the GUI ...

    ***THE BF4 BENCHMARKS THREAD***

    Yeah - you prompted me to try the 7990 without the 7970 :) GPUs @ 1150/1650 .. Soooooooooooo, this is with the 7990 only (Xfire disabled in CCC) ... tbph, the game played nice on a single 7990 @ 1600p. Got a few tanks in this round and a couple of helis so some nice explosions .. !

    Logged on tonight and got a browser plugin update .. (was playing fine last night). Game was laggy, and could not seem to react to anything on a server I have played a few times .. so rebooted.

    ***THE BF4 BENCHMARKS THREAD***

    Now things seem to be coming together from a stability perspective ... no issues after a few rounds so benched the last one. I can also see that the GPUs are mostly in the 90% range now and often 95%+ which is an improvement. Hainan Resort: 2560x1600 Ultra 4930k @ 4.7 7990/7970 @ 1150/1650...
