    MSI SUPRIM Graphics Card Wins COMPUTEX 2022 Best Choice Award

    RTX 4080 would indeed be a wise choice, but once next-gen AMD and NVIDIA GPUs hit the market there's going to be a huge shortage cycle all over again due to scalper bots and Crypto-miners. Current-gen GPU scalping/Crypto-mining was just round-two for them (round one was probably in 2017-2018).

    TechPowerUp 4K Gaming Build Guide

    The Thermaltake Core V31 case recommendation is horrible when taking into account the amount of heat 2 x GTX 980 Tis produce while gaming. Even more so when taking into consideration said GPUs coolers' form-factor, which will basically throw all that heat straight at the plastic window...

    MSI R9 280X GAMING 3 GB

    Hello. I've seen the same issue mentioned, but with the GIGABYTE R9 280X OC variant over a thread I've opened regarding its fan noise issue. Until someone that has first-hand BIOS flashing experience with this card comes along, it might be worth checking out the Driver disc that came with your...

    Gigabyte R9 280X OC 3 GB

    A question please, W1zzard: Could you take a look into this reply and share from your experience if that's a BIOS file you've also tried? If so, any ideas why that person isn't able to update his BIOS (maybe the BIOS switch is in the wrong position) ? Regards,

    AMD Radeon R9 290X CrossFire

    Thank you W1zzard, for this review (and the non-CF one). It baffles me why AMD puts its cooling solution's noise output at the 'Absolutely Not A Priority' category yet again. Same case was with its CrossFired HD 7990 card, even though its cooling solution features a triple fan configuration...

    Gigabyte R9 280X OC 3 GB

    Thank you very much, W1zzard for the review! Also, your time spent back and forth with GIGABYTE, in order to try and get them to realize the importance of not only performance - but comfort (i.e: less operating noise when gaming) - is appreciated. Alas, this time around GIGABYTE chose to stand...

    ASUS R9 280X DirectCU II TOP 3 GB

    Dunno if that's the thread to ask for it, but that would be sweet!

    ASUS R9 280X DirectCU II TOP 3 GB

    Sweet. Looking forward to the review. I'm guessing there won't be much chance in seeing another BIOS from there that's even less noisy.. P.S. Sorry about the wrong thread thing, thanks for going with it anyways :)

    ASUS R9 280X DirectCU II TOP 3 GB

    Hello W1zzard, and thank you for the review. Been a long time reader of techPowerUp, glad to be here. I've got a few burning questions if you please, regarding what's quoted above: My new gaming rig (listed in my specs) is missing only its GPUs. I'd love getting myself two GIGABYTE R9 280X...
