I think these comments made me lean toward gtx 1070. With it i can play on 1440p every game with respectable FPS. I said to myself I'll treat myself this time around and try out high end gaming for the first time in my life. I spent big buck on this monitor, why cheap out on gpu now. I want that...
That's exactly what i was wondering. How benefitial sync is with 100fps+. I can go from ultra to high settings to remain that 100fps+...
On the other hand, i might get 480, wait a while for vega and then sell it. It's easier to sell 250 card than 450 one... Except if i stay with gtx 1070 and...
After eeading through all your comments I'm still in a very indecisive position. The gpu market is really really unfavorable for me right now with fresync monitor.
My biggest problem is I've never tryied any of these before:
- I've never tryed 1440p gaming
- 144hz (or any high refresh...
Fury costs 600 here in EU. I aint dropping that kind of money.
I think I'll do as suggested by @Eymar, buy one rx 480 for now and another one later on if i am not satisfied with performance and wait for vega.
I don't think going for 1070 is a good idea since i have freesync monitor. I...
Hey good people of anandtech. I once again come to you for advice.
So i just bought asus cg278q a 27" 144hz 1440p monitor. It cost me an arm and a leg but i said the hell, you only live once. I sold my R9 290 a while back in hope of getting vega or good performing polaris. Now that polaris...
I don't think there is a way. But i am not pro so... You could check if someone did it before or open it up yourself. I guess it's not in the warranty anymore since it's probably and old laptop. Plus you might do a clean up like i did and do 2 good deeds in one..

Edit: got it HM65
And here is a list of supposedly compatiblem CPUs... Hmm. A bit confusing. My CPU 2330m lists FCBGA1023 and PPGA988 as sockets ...
I'll take a look at cpu-world, tnx. Atm my laptop is taken apart. Tomorrow im getting thermal compound and I'll reassemble it. Then I'll run aida64 to get all the info about my mobo.
If i get some i5 with some higher clocks from ebay for, under 80$ or so (like that one in the link above) and...

What's up with that?! Is that price so high because they are not sold anymore? I saw some wicked prices on amazon before like r9 290 being sold for 800$ after they...
Hey, i decided to take a look at my old 2012 laptop. It wasn't working as i wanted it to work, so i decided to dive in. First i installed fresh version of windows. That already helped a lot. Then i noticed fan spins a lot and fast and cpu is quite hot under idle. So i decided to open it and...
Hey!
I'm soon gonna get myself a new monitor. I mostly play first person shooters so i am leaning towards 120/144Hz monitor. I've never played on a fast refresh&response monitor before, they say it's awesome. Even better than high resolution..
Till now i've played on a 40 inch Samsung TV. :|...
Anyways, i just wanted to leave this here. This guy does (i think) an amazing job at explaining things. I learned so much from his videos.
If you knew about it cool, if you haven't known, even better. Now you do :)

I think gpu is the bottleneck atm. Like i already said up there, i saw same rig with 4gb variant and 8gb variant of samegpu and there was usually literally no fps difference. Unless you use mods and 4k i think as for memory goes, we are fine. Especially if polaris get ddr5x which has double the...
Ok, im a little sad now. I guess I'll have to buy a "transition card" like r9 380 to wait for vega to launch in 2017 :/

Woow, id be happy with fury class performance for 500 :) it is enough for 1440p gaming...
Right now i see sapphire nitro fury for 580. If polaris and vega weren't on the horizon I'd might even consider going for it... Maaybe
But since we didn't see major upgrade since 2013 (200 series) i...
Hmm, if there is no Polaris worth upgrading to, i might go for R9 380 which retails for 220 atm. By the time Polaris is out i hope that drops a few s... I can wait half a year for vega with that...
Anyways, i hope that trend of AMD continues, that they first release high end cards and...
In April, i'm going abroad to work for 4 months. It means i'll be away from my PC till start of August. As Polaris is rumoured to come out and there are rough estimations for this summer i decided to sell my R9 290. Prices already dropped due to refreshed 200->300 series although, it's pretty...
Just wanted to let you guys know how things ended up after changing thermal compound. I can't believe it can make such difference.

Thanks again all for help! :thumbsup:
Thanks buddy! :thumbsup: :)
It was really exciting! I'll definitely do it again some day. Maybe next time i'll opt up for a more challenging task and put a waterblock in there...
Okay, so i solved my problem. I just opened my GPU and replaced thermal paste. Gpu runs much cooler, thus fans work much slower and quieter.
I made a video of entire process with screen shots of MSI afterburner in the end and aftermath. Very pleased with results!
https://youtu.be/EZ7kIgFXeN4...
Yep, that's what every1 said. I've seen YT vides, that thing is quiet. I've seen tests... That's why i bought the card.
I'll try as .vodka suggested. I'll do a detailed clean and with new thermal paste and try to fixate fans to reduce vibrations although it doesn't sound like it. If that...
Well, i'm not used to anything as i've never done it before. This is my 2nd graphics card ever. Let alone playing with thermal paste. I'll do as you said and report back.
Thank you. I think i'll do what you suggested. Open the card, replace thermal paste and clean the board and if that doesn't do the trick ill' buy Accelero Xtreme IV. I hope that cooling system is good enough. Someone said that it doesn't cool RAM modules good enough...
I tried playing with window open and my GPU temp is good, but fans are spinning and they are loud... I really hope my GPU is fine and i'll be able to resolve this issue with colling replacement.
I really like this card. I can finally play all games at ultra settings. I only hate that noise...
I'm afraid this is not possible. i'll do everything in my power but this is my last resort. I don't have warranty certificate. I bought this card over internet and guy shipped it via post. I'll call the store tomorrow and explain my situation, i do have a receipt but this probably won't work.
Hey, i just bought 2nd hand GPU. I came from Sapp R9 270 and that one was quiet as a mouse in respect to this one... I read Tri-x is a very cool and quiet card. 290 series refference is a failure. Running hot at 90C at load and loud as hell. I understand this GPU can supposedly take higher...
