ALPHA17 Posted December 10, 2013 Report Share Posted December 10, 2013 Alpha are there any r9 290's released with discrete coolers? All cards come with discrete coolers, unless mentioned on packaging that they are using a passive solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALPHA17 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Thanks Zodak. Before i buy d GFX card, wish to ask a question (Dropped idea of 780 ti as its compute is no so good plus its not much performance rise for the price i have to pay) - If you want to do any form of COMPUTE oriented task (sans CUDA based solutions) the only option that is in your hand, AMD. Short of purchasing a GTX TITAN you really don't have any options because nVidia Forceware drivers castrate the COMPUTE performance on all GeForce gaming cards. CUDA being proprietary is not affected. GTX780 is also too expensive and pitiful performance in COMPUTE oriented tasks to warrant a look vis-á-vis R9-280X / R9-290. I would suggest you wait till ASUS, Sapphire and MSi show up with their custom revisions of the R9-290 / R9-290X. This is expected around early January time-frame, as far as I know the latter has not even landed in the retail channel of India. Expected pricing ~35000/- -->39000/- on street.

varundbest Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 I'll be using iray or mental ray (3ds max)which are made by nvidia, and since I'm making a game, I'll need a gaming card to run it and stuff... Can't find any benchmarks on that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPU render quality is not great, CPU is what you will be using unless you plan to get a Quadro. There are plugins for both AMD and nVidia graphic cards to improve their output and rendering capabilities. Google before purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALPHA17 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 by when will r9 280x Toxic release here? No idea and the estimated price is also a bit on the higher side of things considering that a stock R9-290 can be had for ~1000/- -->2500/- more.

ALPHA17 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 ^^ Will you stop spamming news which is aeons old. We already knew that price, add a ~1300/- -->2500/- shipping charge to it as well. Seriously you will get a ASUS / MSi custom revision of the card locally for similar or cheaper price.

HarishProGamer Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 ^^ AMD Phenom IIx4 965 Black Edition ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO G.Skill RIPJAWS 2GB x3 1600MHz MSi HD5770 1GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 320GB x2 + Western Digital 1TB Green Edition Seasonic S12II 520W F**K, Alphy.. I had the same config. as yours. AMD Phenom IIX4 955BE ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO XFX HD5770 1GB Cooler Master 500Watts SMPS The Rest all stuffs like HDD/RAM etc. are common, no point in stating those.. Btw, Built in SP Market. Sad thing, I sold my Desktop with HD 7770 2 GB Card, But i still have my XFX 5770 1 GB Card lying with me. Well, Going on.. The Reason I sold that because I am on travel lots of time, and had to get a Gaming Laptop... So here comes the Next Topic:- Are you suggesting a separate thread for notebooks? Feel free to refer that site to anyone in need. Sent from my ST27i using Tapatalk Nope, I want to merge Notebooks also in this thread, I mean high-End Gaming Notebooks. Here is the GPU Comparison Chart for Notebooks, This is the Best site period for benchmarks. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Comparison-of-Laptop-Graphics-Cards.130.0.html And to compare any two GPU's whether Desktop or Notebook, You can use this site :- http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=481&gid2=389&compare=geforce-gt-555m-vs-geforce-gtx-460 I love these stuffs about PCs and Notebooks, Just don't get time to discuss..... Btw, Any suggestions on Asus G75VX ROG Overclocking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 So I OCed my card to 965 core clock and 1185 memory clock, not a single fps increase in games. Seems like my CPU is the real bottleneck. Cant think of anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to develop games for PC you are better off buying multiple cards in different performance brackets so that you can test your future game and its performance on them. Makes better sense than buying an expensive card that only 1% of your prospective gamers will have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, Any suggestions on Asus G75VX ROG Overclocking... I think that is possible, I already refer to Notebookcheck.net whenever a demand for gaming 'laptop' comes up. I am not the OP on this thread so we would need to contact a MOD / ADMIN to do the needful, although I cater to the notebook crowd on an ad-hoc basis. About over-clocking your laptop, I really don't support the idea but if you want to go ahead, suggest you check up overclock.net for help / Google is your friend. Hope this helps, Cheerio!
