I think I may have a problem, /g/.
I just upgraded from an R9 280x to a Fury, and it seems like I'm getting worse framerates in games using the same settings at 1080p. Could /g/ offer any help with this?
I'd like to add that I'm also not getting 100% gpu or cpu usage in a lot of games most of the time, it hovers around 30-40%.
Another note, it's not every single game. It seems like it's only certain games, while other games have a noticeable performance increase over the 280x. Mostly newer games.
AMD has shitty drivers.
You can also look forward to Chrome randomly crashing.
>>51858086
It's the drivers. They have not matured.
>>51858174
Doesn't really explain the fact that I'm getting worse performance than a card basically from 2012.
>>51858086
What drivers do you use currently?
>>51858182
check your temps. Make sure the pump isnt busted
then check the clockspeeds while gaming, make sure they stay constant.
>>51858147
Aahh good ole AMD, get used to it. At least you can play witcher 3 on 4k xD
>>51858197
It's a Fury, not a Fury X, temps are 50-60c while gaming, 40-50 idle.
>>51858195
I'm on catalyst 15.11, I refuse to update to crimson because of that terrible UI.
>>51858214
then enjoy your gimped card, retard
I Think I may not have a problem I upgraded from a Radeon r9 390 to gtx 980ti and see to 60fps plus and it's constant because amd is shit and Nvidia is not.
>>51858214
There ya go champ that's probably why
>>51858214
That why did you buy an AMD card? Send it back and buy a GeForce. Crimson is gonna be how all drivers look going forward.
>>51858222
I was on crimson for a bit but went back to catalyst because I couldn't stand the UI. Performance wasn't any different.
>>51858214
>not using latest drivers that are literally built for that card.
Are you retarded?
>>51858086
Werks on my machine
Also
>terrible ui
Shit tastes aside, how often do you really need to use it, that it warrants not using the latest drivers? Stop being an idiot.
Mine definitely outperforms my old overclocked 290, so the problem is most likely your settings, the game, or you.
Check your AA settings in Catalyst, first. Make sure you've gotten everything set up like it was before.
>>51858241
How was the UI bad? What are you doing to be looking at the drivers so much for it to be a problem. Are you autistic?
>>51858281
It's completely unusable for eyefinity setups, big deal-breaker for me.

Despite evidence showing that to outperform the top air coolers (like the D15 or R1 ultimate) they DO run louder.
Plug your monitor into your gpu.
>>51860307
>to outperform the top air coolers
It's 2015 stop overclocking, you don't need 3 fps on top of your 140

Try using the beta drivers.
>>51860307
I can confirm this is untrue.
The CLC is quiet as your bf during sex.
>>51860354
It's an 8350, so I wouldn't be surprised but since I'm getting 20-30% CPU usage in games it seems like that's not the case.
>>51860372
Implying It's my feels. If that guy is here, I feel bad.
>>51860382
Some games use less cores, the 8350 isn't that bad, but single core performance is lackluster, which games are you playing op?
>>51860360
People are still using pov ray? For what purpose? Also why are you showing a 3rd gen beating your shitty amd chip in a synthetic?

>>51860401
Like I said in OP, it's only certain games. GTAV and most other newer games for example perform as they should, but certain older games do worse. Crysis 3 for example, seemingly runs worse than it did on the old card.

>>51860468

15.11.1 Catalyst drivers are from november.
>>51860448
He has yet to confirm if he actually plugged the monitor to his card or not.
Also, did you even read the thread? This guy is complaining his card isn't performing well, while not wanting to update drivers. He's fucking retarded,
>>51860451
Definitely seems like a bottleneck, but I'm not 100% sure... Actually it seems like a driver problem, definitely. Definitely try updating, and if that doesn't work, Use beta drivers, and if that doesn't work, then I don't know m8e
>>51860485
So the old drivers work, the new drivers work and you are running drivers that don't. A++ would listen to you talk about nothing again.
>>51860486
Mobo doesn't even have integrated graphics.
>>51860502
Stop buying amd, quicksync alone is a good enough reason to have integrated graphics on your chip.
>>51860486
Why would he need to confirm that isn't a thing. He bought a fucking $3-500 video card.
Should've bought an NVidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti, it just werks™.
>>51860545
my 390 just werks. Though I dunno if my power supply is/was big enough for it. I only had a 6 pin and 2 molexes left on my power supply but I needed a 6 pin and an 8 pin for my 390.
So I did this. House fire soon?
>>51860564
I'm amazed that works at all, I suggest you replace that fucker ASAP.
>>51860564
This, what's your wattage op?
>>51860564
My cousin tried that on a meh-tier 450W PSU with a 660Ti. The fucker blew up, I'm surprised it didn't take the motherboard, HDD or GPU with it.
In short: Replace immediately, you absolute madman.
>>51859538
ebic driver downgrade meme XD
>>51860587
>>51860601
I was kinda surprised as well. the 390 was brand new and I was going to buy a new power supply if it didn't work.
It's a no name 430ish with 2 rails. I think the molex are one rail and the 6 pin is the other.
I did some furmark burn in testing and it worked great for bf4 etc.
Also holy fuck are modern video cards fast.
>>51860629
Also the adapter is like 8-12 inches long it's crazy going from 2 molex to an 8 pin.
I think this is how you get a house fire.
Get a 600-650 psu?
>>51860629
>no name 430ish
Oh christ, be careful. I fear for your house, anon.
>>51860660
I don't really. The your powersupply explodes and burns down your house/takes out your powersupply is a meme at this point. It's not a powersupply from 2000. It will simply turn off. I've replaced 20+ powersupplies that have burned out at multiple businesses. The only time I can remeber a powersupply taking anything out was when some guy got electrocuted in the shower and it was somehow related to the computer...
...
Now I kinda want to hear that story again. He was taking a shower and the steam...
hardrive failed... powersupply....
What the fuck was that story again, I kinda feel like there was even a lightening strike in it.
Maybe he jizzed on his powersupply and just didn't want to say that's what happened. I don't remember it smelling though.
>>51860629
Get a better psu, anon. Even if it is another no-name psu, at least get one with all the connections and sufficient wattage.
>>51858086
I had similar issues, re-installing windows fixes it.
>>51860376
How does that picture even work!? The Fury X radiator on the cpu? Truly there is no god.
>>51860704
You need to go read Jonnyguru's death of a gutless wonder articles. I'll give you a heads up: when he tests shit tier units he used testing gear he can replace/fix because psus can (and do) take other components with them.
>>51860725
Wattage doesn't mean shit if the psu can't supply it. A lot of cheap high wattage units only supply a fraction of their wattage on the 12v rail, and huge amounts (which aren't needed) on 5v rails. A quality unit will supply its rated wattage on the 12v rail alone.
>>51858152
>>51859377
works for me
>>51860725
I think I'm transitioning right now, so it doesn't make sense to buy a new one right now. I think I'm going to put the 390 in a ml08b I kind a want to buy the dual 390.
Picture of new case, requires sff picture of GPU inc.
>You need to go read Jonnyguru's death of a gutless wonder articles. I'll give you a heads up: when he tests shit tier units he used testing gear he can replace/fix because psus can (and do) take other components with them.
went out of his way to blow them up. A++
>>51860781
The 390 is a 3 slot while the case only supports a 2 slot gpu. I've been looking at WC but it doesn't look like there is a water block for it. maybe a custom air cooled heatsink.
I want to 4k meme.
>>51860794
That Devil13 card is truly demonic. It's fucking witchcraft to me how they managed to make it work.
>>51860794
I believe it's just the powercolor cooler, other 390s are 2 slots wide.
>>51860813
yea, my 390 is 2 slots, I'm not going to be able to 4k with a single 390.
I'm pretty hung over right now.
>>51860811
Sadly it isn't the same layout as a 295x2 or what ever so you can't get a block for it.
>>51860813
The MSI 390 is 2.5 slots wide and so is the Sapphire, iirc. The Powercolor PCS+ is 3 slots.
The Asus Strix is 2 slots but not all of its heatpipes youch the GPU core, and the Gigabyte cards are 2 slots but they're voltage locked and quite loud.
>>51860829
Dx12/vulcan can run any two (or more) video cards in tandem.

Literally wat?
He's using the rad fan on the rear exhaust, the tubes are directed over the Fury, what's not to get?
>>51860847
The case I'm talking about is a 2slot... also wat? The 390x2 is a crossfire card.
>>51860863
>390
U wot I'm running in house fire mode and I can't hear the fan.
>>51860564
The 3 slot gpu is for a dual 390.
>>51860863
My 390 idles at 40ºC and runs full load at 72ºC tops, at 40-50% fans, which is barely audible. Only goes full jet engine at 80ºC, but it never gets there anyway.
>>51860841
Wtf what is going on with MSI design?
Why would they even put pipes there then.
Also, does anyone else have a STRIX card? Does it tend to stay hot and not let the fans kick in?
>>51860911
I meant ASUS design
>>51860911
The MSI cards are some of the best for the 300 series. They're very well designed, eveything is there for a reason.
No one uses STRIX or Asus cards for AMD, and for good reason. The coolers are the exact same as the ones they use for Nvidia, because they cheaped ou. Needless to say, they fucking suck ass, run loud, don't cool properly, and you won't be able to OC at all. If you have an Asus AMD card, replace it if you still can, as soon as possible. They fucking suck.
>>51860911
>>51860934
The Asus cards just use the cooler from their NVidia cards, so it's optimized for those. They just slap it onto the AMD GPUs without any changes, so it's pretty inefficient on those.
>>51860911
>STRIX
390 guy here, I returned a 960 strix because it was shit about 3 weeks ago.
It was 100% silent until the fans kicked in. fans only kicked in when you did actual demanding 3d stuff or over time if you were doing low demand stuff aka emulation / league(I didn't test league, but I assume it's in that work load)
>>51860910
Ever tried running furmark for 10 minutes, I promise your case won't catch fire. My 970 came out at 68°C, less noise than my shitty stock cpu cooler.
>>51860956
Talks up the 3.5gb, has his CPU throttling under load.
for what purpose? If your fan is making that much noise you are throttling m8.
>>51860956
I didn't run any synthetic benchmark on my GPU, only ever tested it in real scenarios (games).
The only game that made it get really hot (>78ºC) was Witcher 3 with everything cranked up to Ultra, with only the Gameworks features toned down to medium, and it still ran fine at over 55FPS anywhere, very rare drops.
Though that was before I realized that running games in Windowed Fullscreen made the card get a bit hotter and performance worse. Also before I started fiddling with fan profiles, so the fans were shut down before 60ºC.
I should run Furmark though, I'm actually curious how well it would do, and how hot it would get.
1080p, by the way.
>>51860973
Naah mate, the intel stock cooler is always audible. I got an i5-6500 (memelake), even under 25°C it's clearly audible.
>>51860875
that is nice case
>>51861053
It's the updated steambox.
>>51861002
I'm getting 60fps with 2xmsaa and everything else ultra (not hitting 3.5 vram btw), or I can set msaa to 4x and tone some other settings down, but I like seeing everything at the highest, msaa is a meme.
>>51861030
>even under 25°C it's clearly audible.
Are you sure your cooler isn't broken? Unless your fan is sitting next to your ear you shouldn't be able to hear it at minimum rpm.
Maybe you plugged it into the wrong fan header so it's running at full throttle all the time?
>>51861069
I only turn up the AA if I'm getting stable framerates of at least 60 FPS. If not, I also turn it down to 4x or 2x.
AA is a meme after a certain point, and not worth the performance hit.
>>51861069
House fire here, 390 runs hot apparently. Also this room is cold.
>>51861084
I don't know tbqh. I think it's plugged in cpu fan 1 or something. I'm going to check it though.
>>51861104
kek, running furmark without msaa, everything should be maxed m8.
>>51861106
odd, if you plugged it into cpu 1 unless you changed the bios setting to not auto controlled you shouldn't hear shit at 25c.
>>51861104
75C isn't that bad for furry donut, honestly.
>>51861123
yea, that ram will really toast the card.
>>51861104
75ºC is perfectly fine for a 390. That chip is made to be able to work flawlessly during 4 or 5 years at 95ºC. 75ºC is a joke for that chip, only reason you don't want it higher is because it also increases the temps of all your other components.
Anything under 80ºC, and you're just fine, don't worry. Over 80ºC, you probably should look into it, and figure out how to decrease it a bit.
Also, what cooler?
>>51858152
You don't deserve your trip, faggot
>>51861145
I have a 7950 in my girlfriends computer. It actually runs hot.
This is an xfx bestbuy edition, can return in january if new stuff comes out or if i pull the trigger on a 390x or two.
The 7950 I have is also an xfx dual dissipation etc etc. It sucks, doesn't even do it's stock clock at standard voltage.
>>51861123
Yea, runs cooler with it at 8x.
>>51861124
Well it's in cpu fan 1, and as you can see my case fans are off, cpu fan still audible. Case is on desk btw, so that might be a reason too.
>>51859604

>>51861420
Oh I'm blind as fuck I was reading it as 2x 980's in sli.
Though tri crossfire has that frame delivery inconstancy issue from what I've read.
I'm interested in going dual or quad crossfire though.
I just got the MSI r9 380 4GB,
Am I safe /g/?
>>51861202
Mate, I don't know how you're getting such shitty fps. But here is 970 after 2 minutes. I had to run it twice btw, that's why min temp is so high, seems like printscreen doesn't work properly in furmark (it takes a pic of 00:00:00).
>>51861497
I swear I included pic.
>>51861445
Afaik it's better now that it works througth PCIe instead of a bridge. It still need profiles in driver tho.
ITT people forget that Nvidia and AMD have different levels of throttling in the likes of furmark and other well known heat stressers. Nvidia throttles extremely aggressively where AMD doesn't as much.
Said throttling is written into the driver as furmark and whatnot can - and will - kill cards due to the insane load they put on your card (not all of which is on the core - the vrms get fucking HOT but few cards have sensors on them).
>>51861496
Its a damn fine card for 1080p anon, damn fine.
>>51861845
Ca... Can I crank my settings up....?
I've only had Integrated Graphics before
>>51861906
You should be able to max quite a few games, maybe stay away from too much AA but other than that you're good.
>>51861906
The 380 is for starting every setting on high and adjusting up or down from there, as >>51861934 says some settings - most commonly msaa - kill performance for very little visual quality improvement.
Hell a decently overclocked 4gb 380 gives a good stab at 1440p gaming.
>>51859538
>780ti cards are on par with 960 now
That's not true. It has always been on par with the 970.
>>51858214
fucking retard.
>>51861999
Maybe a new driver "optimization" fixed it
>>51861934
>>51861962
I have a large 720p monitor, so if I'm playing on 720 with AA all the way up, it should look beautiful right?
>>51862074
nah
>>51862043
If anyone can give me any source at all that can support this claim I will believe it. All I'm willing to believe is that the newer 970 receives more optimization than the 780Ti, therefore the 970 may perform relatively better, making the 780Ti look worse in comparison. However, even on recent benchmarks I've still seen them perform similarly. And I'm interested in those charts, as I'm running a 780Ti myself.
>>51862074
depend of your ppi, should look ok on 13"
>>51858214
>why are the drivers from before the card even existed not working :ccc
Ebin
>>51858152
>implying nvidia doesn't also have shitty drivers
>>51862127
A driver update killed the perf on 780, making it run worse than before, the same happening again would not surprise me
>>51862074
If you use the VSR feature in crimson you could probably (I forget the support resolutions off the top of my head) downsample from 1080p to 720p to help reduce the need for stupid levels of AA.
I'd certainly think about upgrading your monitor as 720p is below console resolution these days and that card wants to be unleashed.
>>51862198
>>51862085
Will upgrade monitor soon.
I love having a massive screen though, are 1080p TVs any good for PC screens?
>>51862127
One hard part is finding sites that still test the 780ti - it mostly got forgotten rougly when the titan x released.
Still, this is only at 1080p - at 1440p the gap widens.
>>51862189
>still no sources
I'm inclined to believe you, but has that been confirmed to have been on purpose or just a bug?
>>51862258
Unless you are "herp derp need ma 1ms latency" a TV will suffice. Most current TVs have a game-mode or some sort of equivalent which cuts down on the extra shit they do to improve latency.
>>51862163

Woah.
>>51862372
The problem with AMD cards is that start out with shitty drivers and only after a year or so people finally figure out how to make their cards not perform like shit.
Remember how disappointingly the Fury X performed at launch, even though it was really fast on paper? In this image you already see it beating Nvidia cards.

Between PR and reality...
It has been fixed, but as >>51862372 said, it' s evident that nvidia just dont give a fuck about his last gen, specially when a 7970 compete with a 780.
After some googling, https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/comments/36namy/psa_nvidia_tanking_witcher_3_performance_on/

Don't even go that far, get a 390 and enjoy it not being gimped when pascal drops.
>>51862546
What the hell is up with that post?
The guy accuses Nvidia for the fact that a 970 performs better at 1080p than the 780Ti does at 1440p. What kind of comparison is that?
>>51862649
2nd, 3rd and 4th link, if you' re into reading you should have understand what they' re talking about.

Looks like I made the right purchase.

Not sure if I could go AMD again desu.
I'm using a 680 lightning which runs faster than the 770 clocks.
I'm waiting for Jan sales to take the upgrade jump. Was looking at a 980 or a used Titan for an upgrade.
Either that or I'll pick up a cheap as fuck 680 lightning of the bay and have fun at 1440p.
Last AMD card I had was the ATI HD4890 Toxic which while was rapid as fuck it idled at 45-50 in a HAF X. That and it NEVER felt as refined/ smooth as the Gtx 260 216 core it replaced.

That you did anon, that you did.
>>51862505
No driver [spoiler]never ever[/spoiler] yet for linux.
Okay /g/, so I updated to latest crimson beta driver, and guess what? No change. I have noticed though, monitoring with Afterburner that the core clock doesn't go up to high power mode, but rather hovers around 400-500MHz.
>>51862881
Sadly we cant enjoy AMD as much in europe
With that TDP you might just buy the next tier of Nvidia cards
>>51863840
Dutchfag here, actually. The difference with a 970 is maybe a few € a year.
>>51863602
Metro: Last Light running 10-20 FPS in 4k all ultra no AA. Afterburner says gpu clock at around 500 and game is super choppy. GTAV almost everything max 4k no AA runs 40-50 FPS and 100% gpu usage throughout. Help me the fuck out /g/.
>>51863893
60W more is not "a few € a year"
>>51863954
The most bizarre fucking thing is happening in Metro LL. When I pause the game, the GPU clock goes back up to the stock 1010MHz of my card and when I unpause the game actually runs at a reasonable framerate for a moment. Then the clock quickly goes back down to 500 and I experience shitty framerates again. Could be faulty hardware or maybe the card just needs reseated in the PCIe slot? I've not got my PC in a place where it's very easy to mess with so I would like to get everything sorted out on the software end before I go poking around in there.
>>51863995
That's assuming they're running full blast all day every day. In idle they use about the same power.
>>51863995
nevermind, 152W is alot more than "a few € a year"
>>51864118
Again, you're assuming they're both under 100% load all the time. Their idle power consumption is about the same.
>>51864167
Not even idle, regular use load temps don't get anywhere nearr 152w.
>>51864098
Alright, I figured out that Metro's framerate issues were caused by PhysX, however PhysX never tanked my framerate THIS much when I was using the 280x. I think some of the other games I've been having issues with are also PhysX games, which means my problems have something to do with that. Fucking thanks, nshittia.
>>51864289
What? The R9 290/390 and GTX 970 use about the same amount of power in idle/low load situations. Only when you start putting some 3D load on them is when you'll see a significant difference, and that 150W difference only happens under 100% load, which isn't going to happen often unless you like to run Furmark in the background all the time for some weird reason.
>>51864376
Shit like this is why people need to stop supporting Nvidia's bullshit and buying more AMD products.
>>51858086
Did you use DDU before installing the new driver?
>>51858152
Why do you shill for nVidia? You may want to turn off your trip, because I don't remember you making a single useful, helpful post on here since your trip first appeared, just constant shilling for nVidia in AMD related threads, and butthurt in shitposts making fun of nVidia.
