    Sapphire RX 480 FanIssues

    Try using Display Driver Uninstaller. If don't work i suggest RMA the card with Sapphire, it looks like is a thing that at maximum a BIOS flash can solve.

    nVIDIA, AMD, what are the pros and cons of each side?

    AMD have TressFX, but it don't have all the features Physx haves. I personally don't see Physx as a determinant factor to buy a card, i personally don't care about little extra detail. Buy cards based on performance/price, is better.

    nVIDIA, AMD, what are the pros and cons of each side?

    1- Silence - Buy custom cards to care less about it, but Nvidia is sightly better on this. It may not affect your brand decision; 2- Good performances - Nvidia optimizes their games faster on their drivers, but the paradigm is changing on the last years. AMD is doing a better job with their...

    No 'target GPU temperature' in CCC R9-290 Tri-x

    Depends of the clocking of the cards. Generally it needs a ~1050Mhz 290x to tie a stock GTX780Ti, but we don't know the clocking of the 780Ti card. Perfect temperature conditions may make GTX 780Ti averages the 1020Mhz it can go, but most times(in most review sites and users reviews) 780Ti is...

    PowerColor R9 290X PCS+ 4 GB

    Hey Wizzard, do any AIB plans to send you a custom r9 290?? I wanna see the power consumption difference in the Tri-X(or another custom) card. I'm asking it because I remember the GTX 480 effect. http://tpucdn.com/reviews/Zotac/GeForce_GTX_480_Amp_Edition/images/power_average.gif

    Non ref R9 290 vs GTX 780ti, New build

    Overclocking on air by HWBOT: 290/290x: ~1150 Mhz 780Ti/780: ~1190Mhz Nothing enough to make me buy a 780Ti. If you will go water, pick 780Ti. This is a lie. This is call deserving.
