    AMD Reports 2015 First Quarter Results

    When the 390X comes out I'm sure it will be a beast. They might waiting for something like new financial year or something else. They will have a much better chance to turn things around with the next gen of products. AMD should give up on CPU only CPu's and concentrate on GPU's and APU's.

    AMD Reports 2015 First Quarter Results

    I'm a bit worried now to upgrade my 2x 290x's for 2x 390x's. If AMD where to go bust which is very likely who is going to update Catalyst, no more driver support... That doesn't sound too good!

    Samsung Mass-Producing SM951 PCIe M.2 SSDs

    Does this stop one adding a nice GPU due to the loss of PCIe lanes as extreme CPU's aren't found in Notebooks or ultrabooks. Is this the trade off?

    How To Use ATIFLASH

    The winnoot98 has drivers for keyboard I believe from memory. Try once Moar's method and use the code I provided. atiflash -p 0 H3.rom It says if your original rom was H5 you can only use the 1-10 series such as H8 or H3 and not H50. If your bios was H55 you could use H51. It says that in...

    How To Use ATIFLASH

    you typed the number 1 in the code meaning the second PCIe slot not the first. The first slot is number 0 such as atiflash -p 0 hv2.rom including the rom file. When you create the disk only put one BIOS with the ATIFLASH.exe file in there I see multiple rom files (BIOS's). I flashed mine with...

    How To Use ATIFLASH

    I have since updated to Catalyst 14.9.1 and been running BF4 on the bios in crossfire brilliantly no issues at all.

    How To Use ATIFLASH

    shouldn't the code be something similar to. A:\Atiflash -p 0 nameofbios.rom I created the CD with bios and ariflash.exe and the USB with Atiflash , Bios and winboot98. I pointed to the CD not the USB think of A as the CD. I followed the steps in the video I posted but instead of pointing to...

    How To Use ATIFLASH

    I have 2 MSI r9 290x gaming cards with different BIOS's and I tried to make them have the same BIOS but should never have used winflash. After sending one back for a slow fan I got sent back a 290x with PCB version 2.0. All is good now and it's using the original BIOS. I tried it because I...

    How To Use ATIFLASH

    I had the same MSC driver error :) but I fixed it! I changed the Sata to IDE and IDE legacy in the BIOS and flashed it from the CD I burned. After changing to IDE the F drive (USB stick) still wasn't showing up but the MSCD001 driver loaded. So I pointed it to the Disc (CD-R) "Drive E" and it...

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 SLI

    What about 1440P 144hz on the ASUS Swift? It's the perfect monitor for high refresh rate gaming. It has Gsync too.

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 SLI

    Test the 290x or 295x2 with Mantle, it runs so much better than DX11 I don't understand these benchmarks. Unless you want to results not to be Nvidia on top. Nobody with 290x or two of them will use DX11 unless they want to record using two GPU's Xplit works with one in borderless mode, just...

    NVIDIA Sacrifices VESA Adaptive Sync Tech to Rake in G-SYNC Royalties

    I read somewhere that you can't use both at the same time. Here are a couple links I just found with those statements. http://www.blurbusters.com/lightboost-sequel-ultra-low-motion-blur-ulmb/ http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1812458 I don't know if they changed that yet though.

    MSI Holding Off on GTX 980 Lightning, in Anticipation of Bigger Chip

    These cards are so big, they should release the Lightning series with EK water blocks. That PCB is the sexy part ;) Most of the lightning owners end up doing that any way.
