I've had the same issue with my own Sapphire Tri-X R9 290, though in my case it's good up to 1100MHz on the stock voltage without ever throttling with 14.x drivers (ASIC quality is 79.9%). I posted about it earlier:
I've also seen people say the powertune throttling goes away if you're running...
I've had the same experience as you on my Sapphire 290-loads of temp head room, but as soon as any voltage is added I get clock throttling. It seems to be a bug in the 14.x beta releases, since I don't get the throttling in 13.12s. No matter what, the power limit controls in CCC, Trixx or...
Just to update you guys, I was able to get the files off of the partition yesterday. So Gparted was easily able to bring up what was on the old partition, but it was unresponsive when it came time to copy the data to other partitions. It just kinda froze, although I didn't let it run over night...
Thanks guys.
I did boot into Linux just to see if I could get into the drive with that alone, but I'll give Gparted a try in a bit. I'll take a look at EaseUS too if Gparted doesn't help. Thankfully I checked back in time.
Ah, okay, that's what I was afraid of. I'm glad it was this drive and not another because I didn't have anything important on it, but is any of that software free/trialware? I just tried Recuva earlier but that didn't help. Unless I'm supposed to format the drive first before using it.
I recently picked up a 3TB HDD to replace an older drive I still had in my system, and while installing it, I accidentally didn't push the SATA cable in all the way. So of course disk management in Windows couldn't recognize the drive, but I thought it might have been an issue with the SATA...
I haven't had any DX9 issues with my 7950 either and I pretty much only play DX9 and DX8 games. Actually I'm hoping these drivers will have the DX9 performance improvements they promised were coming at some point. Maybe you guys could try submitting an issue form if the next batch of drivers...
notty was comparing the 660 to the 460, not to the 7870 here.
The 650ti is only mildly faster than the 460, so I wouldn't think it's a great upgrade. If you really want to stay under $200, you should look at some 7850s, or spend a bit more for the 660s/7870s.
Would you mind if I put up Black Mesa benchmarks for comparison later today? I'm interested to see if Tahiti loses a lot more performance than GK-104 for all Source Engine games like the Anandtech results for Portal 2 show, or maybe it's just the case with the newer build Portal 2 uses.
I...
I think it's more likely that it's that dual-Tahiti board with downclocked GPUs they showed a few months back. Wouldn't we have heard some more rumblings about Sea Islands if they already had a FirePro product ready?
Agreed that vendor-specific coolers are the way to go for the quietest system out of the box. Tom's covered a few of these cards for both the 670 and the 7950:

I had two different MSI 7870's with the Twin Frozr 4 coolers and I found them both fairly loud, especially compared to the dual-fan Sapphire 7950 I settled with. That Sapphire 7850 for $165 looks good. I don't know that it would last 4 years, but you can look at it as saving some money now that...
