    OMEGA super sampling/DSR: does it work at the desktop level or just in games

    I do financial work and the more resolution the better for graphs and charts. I currently have 2560*1440 monitors. Will this allow me to have a desktop to display my Charts and graphs at 3200*1800 resolution on my R9 290's? Thanks

    What is best? A few cards in many machines or a lot of cards in a few machines.

    Considering I am planing on mining 1 coin only, Litecoin, will one scenario be better over the other? So much I do NOT know. Does a higher hash rate in a single machine give you more over all mining power? I currently have 2-2GB HD5870's, 2-290's, 1-570Ti & will probably be getting another...

    Does each machine have to go through the Syncing process?

    Just setting up same machines. It takes a long time for the syncing process and I was wondering it you could just copy and past fiems & Subdirectories from on computer to another? Or do you have to sync each computer? Thanks

    Why do theR9 290(X) reference and custom cooler cards have the same video outpts

    In the past the custom cooler cards came with more than just the coolers as the upgrade. The 280's are re-badged 7900 cards. As such they have different outputs. The 280 Matrix from ASUS has 4 DP ports. the 290 Matrix has the standard dual DVI, single DP and single HDMI. Is there something...

    What kind of memory do you have on your 290X card?

    I have Elpida memory on my ASUS DCU2 OC R9 290X cards and Hynix memory on my reference Gigabyte R9 290 card. I can probably easily overclock my reference card to match my factory overclocked 290X. It would seem they would relegate Elpida memory for the 290 and put Hynix memory in the better...

    I dropped by Cointerra today-How do people plan to make $$ with video cards.

    The best way I can describe these machines is that they are like bulldozers and video cards are like spoons. 2,000,000 MH/s vs 850 MH/s or times 2 on about the same power usage. You can break even pretty quickly with one of these dedicated machines but the video card route seems to take...

    I want a 290/290X cards with multiple DP ports, any on the horizon?

    Any inside scoop on if ASUS may release a 290/290X in a Matrix form factor? Or if a tier 1 manufacturer has plans to make a 290/290X with 4 or more DP ports? I love my Eyefinity6 cards, just looking for the same but stronger.

    Which AMD partner has the can produce the most cards for the North American market?

    The major partners being ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, Sapphire, XFX, & Powercolor imho. The question is based on trying to get a 290 or 290X at MSRP or close. I have 2 ASUS Graphics Cards R9290X-DC2OC-4GD5 ordered from Amazon that are slated to come in about 3-4 weeks @ $580/each. I really would...

    In mixing a 290 and a 290x in crossfire still cause throttling.

    How would this work with a 290 reference card(which I currently have), and an ASUS 290X DC2 in crossfire. It would seem that sharing the load would not force a throttle situation. I will be gaming in 4K which at the moment will be capped at 30fps. I also will be gaming (at least trying to) in...

    I am coming off of having 2 ASUS 2GB 5870 cards in crossfire. I got the R9 290 before the rush and I because of the bluescreen issues it took about a month for me to insure it was a card problem and then ask for an RMA. I current have the new Gigabyte card and it works perfectly. I now wish...

    Now What should I do Since there will be no new AMD cards for a while?

    I was anticipating getting a shiny new 8970 to play Crysis 3 with. As you can see in my sig I have 5870's in CFX which I have been happy with because the console ports (Which most PC games are now)do not really tax these cards. Crysis 3 has been stated that it will melt PC's (like Crysis 1...

    Field of View(FOV) in 2560*1440 VS 1920*1080/1200 gaming

    How does this work? When you go to a higher resolution screen does the field of view always change, or just on games designed for a higher resolution? I had a few minutes to tryout Halflife2 in 2560*1440 and it seemed that my FOV was the same as it was in 1920*1200 but just a bit crisper. I...

    Considering getting a new card - Will my CPU still be strong enough!!

    I am current running an i7-860. My video cards are 2GB 5870's crossfired. On a list I saw it is the 13th best video setup available and a 7970 is the 9th. While there would be no bottleneck in my opinion in getting a single 7970, Would 2 of them present a problem. I am just planning on...

    Frames per Second "VS" Style of Play

    A lot of talk is about high frames per second and it has become the 'HOLY GRAIL' of gaming. The greatest reason for this is because many players seem to prefer a run & gun style(that would also include racing games). For those players that prefer a more stealthy type of game it would seem that...
