Just bought my first ever PCIE card

[LittleLizard]

Here is what i notice so far with this card, temps go from 50-71c, when playing a game, but then drops back down to 47c or 50c on idle. Is this bad or good?
Its also kinda warm in my house

it is a well known fact that almost all cards on the 4xxx series using a stock cooler will heat a lot. i remember when the 4850 came out that all people complained about high temps. the rv7xx are made to work at high temps, so its just fine.

 

[RadeonProVega]

Yea it does cool down quick, which is nice. Thanks for all the help. Gaming is amazing with both cards.
Peace

its normal. Try upping the fan speed in CCC? That could help alot

if its the card from the photo then no as it has a 2 pin fan. its not adjustable

 

[RadeonProVega]

I had to unlock it, but how do i locked it back, or just uncheck when i don't want to use it?

 

[kurosagi01]

by pressing the lock pad

 

[RadeonProVega]

I did, nothing happen. Seems to be unlocked for good, but i guess its fine as along as i don't check mark it.
Question, if i upped the fan a bit, this is not like OC, so i am safe right?

In other news, amazing i can get up to 100fps in crysis at 1280x1024 AAX2, all high to medium settings( with only post and volumetric on medium ). 40-100fps. So it seems i get about a 20% 30% performance increase over my 9500GT, which is pretty cool.

no sh1t? was that max FPS? or avg? cmon you're not serious right? or is that a typo? you meant 4-10fps?

 

[kurosagi01]

yeah i think its a typo error,no way you could of gotten that type of FPS with his desktop :S
I can barely get 30-50 with just medium high settings with no AA on 1280x1024 with my desktop
My average on my desktop on medium to high setting is around 26-40 and max is 50

 

[RadeonProVega]

Be right back.

 

[RadeonX2]

he looks like he's dreaming coz as far as I remember when I still had my 9600GT it avg around 25 on high don't mind very high its below 20 fps . I guess on medium it could be around 30-40 fps. 40-100 fps on high/mid settings on that machine? no way! wtf?

 

[RadeonProVega]

100 only looking at the skies haha , anyways, here are 2, at 40-60 at these settings:

settings



2 benchmarks



Overall this game moves fast

 

[T3kl0rd]

u2k has always stretched his Crysis benches and pisses everyone off in the process. HD 4670 is the best or close to the best that you can do without using a power connector, so you should be happy with that for now.(9800GT is a little better if you can find a low power model) Your CPU is bottlenecking the card BTW.

If you don't like your core and memory clock speeds downscaling for 2D mode, then you could use RBE (Radeon Bios Editor) from TechPowerUp and flash the BIOS to have constant 3D mode default speeds like I did. That probably isn't the type of thing you would embrace though.

 

[shevanel]

he's def not picky. I wish I could play games @ 1280x1024 on medium and be content. I might have more money than I do.

 

[MatTheCat]

HOLY CRAP, I am playing L4D at 1280x1024 AFX16, AAX2, Very high to High to low settings and getting a solid 40-60 fps, it never drops below 40. Now i see what i have been missing out all these years. OH MAN THIS IS AMAZING.

LOL.

No your not.

U couldnt play Street Fighter on the SNES emulator at a solid 40-60FPS with that card. And as for your Crysis benches. I dont believe you and nobody else seems to believe u either. The reason for this is that we are all very aware of how badly Crysis runs on machines several orders of magnitude more powerful than the pop-tart toaster set-up that you claim to be running those benches on.

Why dont you find something better to do with your time than posting reams and reams of total misinformation on the internet?

 

[T3kl0rd]

Lol, I know you are being sarcastic, but you can play SNES emulators with onboard graphics at 60 FPS. I know because I used to do that.

Of course.

But honestly, the guy is running a low-end pos gfx card with an Athlon 2000 and a 250 PSU, and coming on the internet and telling everyone a big lot of crap about how his pop-tart-toaster set-up has L4D, Crysis running superslick, all high settings with 2FSAA etc etc.

I dont why, but that inherently pisses me off and I actually feel strong disdain for the opening poster.

hey Mat the cat its the internet?? people can say whatever they want but yeah i'm not going get involve with his benches or system anymore.
Let him waste his money

 

[Zubasa]

For everyone that is picking on the OP's Crysis performance.
Do any of you realized that he is running Crysis in DX9?

You aren't the first, believe me.

This all we can do in reality without debasing ourselves. Although reading his posts makes you want to do this at times. ->

Haven't seen comparison benches, but DX9 shouldn't be dramatically better than DX10 IMO, especially on u2k's rig.

I know time-wasters like him in real life. And until you recognise them as total time-wasters, guess what happens?

Thats right, they waste your time with their absolute bull$hit account of things which they swear is straight up etc etc.

But yeah, its the internet and people can say what they like. So I can say the guys a twat.

Crysis DX9 on all/mostly high settings with 2FSAA would bring my system too its knees. I played through Crysis DX9 with everything on High with FSAA disabled (present rig displayed) and I was running it usually around 30-40FPS, but sometimes much lower. When the action heated up, I would drop to around 20 FPS sometimes. As soon as you turn on FSAA in Crysis the frames come screeching to a grinding halt and the game becomes a slide show. Yet this clown is trying to convince everyone that he has the game flying on a £45 gfx card and PC parts you could probably salvage from your local municipal skip.

Crysis is a very memory intensive game.
At 1680x1050 your HD 4870 512MB is running out of frame buffer,
on the other hand that guy is running 1280x1024, and there is no way he is running out of frame buffer @DX9.
DX9 texture sizes are much much smaller than DX10 textures.

When a card runs out of memory it take a massive performance hit.
A HD 4670 is around half as powerful as a 4870 and it manages 22 FPS in Cryss DX9 @1280x1024 with 2xAA all set to High

unklonline must have gotten the only optimized copy of crysis available.

 

[Zubasa]

Nah, he is just taking screenshot at some camera angle where the FPS is actually playable.
Those screenshots really does not prove anything.

is there such thing?
