It’s not bad but “biggest gen performance leap ever!”????? Nvidia must have forgotten 7 series to G80. 8800gtx was +40-90% every game @1600x1200, sometimes more than double FPS. I expected almost 2x Perf but it came up WAY short. I’m disappointed based on the false hype Nvidia planted with that...

Based on the specs announced/shown, the RX 5500 is only going to differ in base click but same boost clock???same shader count and memory?? How is this worth buying. They should perform identical if temps are kept in check. Just baffled/confused that those two products are damn near twins

So I know 9/10 bridging a router will cut the speed in half or 3/4th. I've seen both. Anyways tonight I was downloading a game onto a bridged PC network and wondered - Does downloading at half the speed on my bridged computer still use half the home network's speed? in my situation, the at home...

still for sale?

So wish i had my last W2 already, would def buy this. Hope its still around in a few weeks. gl

thanks W1z. and my 2 cents. its rather cool to see that it does make a difference. However, i also see in some of those results, what looks to me like there's no indication that 3.0 isn't already maxed and that more bus bandwidth could improve performance further. I mean there's a decent...

I'm surprised no one else has asked. JC, why? though i've always wanted to have the flagship gpu of each gen(8800 GTX for example) for nostalgia, i'm guessing you have a project in mind?

idk about the buttons, and i know that's what you're asking, but my joy sticks on a 3rd party ps3 controller started sticking after it sat collecting dust for a good 2 yrs. cleaned it with alc and que tips, still sticking. Grabbed some (PB Blaster) and worked it around with que tips and idk if...

I really wish there'd be more round up reviews. Like rx 460/70/80, fury(s), R9 390(X) vs Gtx 1050/ti, 1060 3/6GB, 1070, 1080. Now I said all those but since I have a Rx 470 I mainly just want to see it. Only newish game I own is shadow of mordor. Edit: plus I bought my 470 for 189.99 at best...

ahh well what a relief, i hope joining the red camp this gen won't come to bite me. Very happy with performance in crysis(yep still play it once a year), shadow of mordor. Need to get some newer games now that i'm not stuck on GTX 560

surely they can fix issues if they can reproduce them enough to consider them known issues....so why release it then you could drill out those fixes in 1 or 2 more days? or is that a never ending cycle? and they release hotfixes weekly or something? Sorry new Radeon owner, at least since HD...

Have you tried running it with just one stick of RAM? alternating them? and you're 100% on the fact that it only does this with Football Manager? Do you have a spare GPU you can throw in your pc to see if its GPU related? as 'TechAddiction" said, some games will utilize the gpu and its memory...

@Toothless not everyone is able/willing to solder onto their mobo, nor have the devices required to solder. but yep otherwise it would seem you're SOL OP

Guys, if you google the PSU, its a Cool Power Gaming 980watt PSU, even if that brand isn't great it'll be plenty for any $300 upgrade. @OP, overclocking on the old C2Q/C2D cpu architecture is fairly simple and fun as long as you follow some guides. It also is rewarding bc you gain experience...

I'm surprised it has such a beefy cooler for a low powered card. Should help with budget oriented gamers that like to overclock. Bring it up to or close to GTX 960 speeds.
