[QUOTE=Makol;50665324]Got any links to those benchmarks? Haven't seen that anywhere.[/QUOTE] I'm looking into it now and finding contradictory results. Some reviewers find the 480 beating the 980, some find it not.

[QUOTE=Makol;50664954]Do you mean the GTX 850M? Because the GT 840M is slower than the GT 750M[/QUOTE] Yea. According to 3D Mark I'm not getting nearly that high performance. [QUOTE=paul simon;50664975]Is your power setting set to high performance?[/QUOTE] Yep. I wonder if it's just constantly throttling from high temps? I dunno. Never seems to break 60°C.
Damn, my secondary monitor is dead. We tried opening her up but the fuse was fine and there were no visibly blown capacitors. We have no idea what the problem is so we're not gonna bother screwing around with it any more.

Never seems to break 60°C.[/QUOTE] I came across this issue on a desktop PC once, the GPU was for some reason performing almost exactly 50% of what it was supposed to. It had been like that for months. We took the thing apart to see if we could spot anything wrong physically, but we could not. After we put it back together, it mysteriously started performing 100% again.
Well. My GTX 670 is toast again. First one died a few weeks ago and I managed to get a replacement, but now this "new" one hits 80C when playing pretty much any game and then craps out. Don't feel like upgrading since the PC it's in uses a 955BE. Maybe once I get my replacement board from MSI I'll get a Skylake i5 to put in my main desktop along with a 480 or 1060 and put my 380X in the back up PC. What's a good i5 if don't plan on over locking and all I really play is stuff like Overwatch and WoW? My i3 seems to being ok with both. Do I just get another i3 6100 to save a few bucks instead?

Talking about DDR4 being cheap, my friend mentioned that he'd like to upgrade from 4GB of RAM to 8 or more after seeing how cheap DDR4 is. I mentioned that he runs on DDR3 and he didn't understand how he also has to upgrade his motherboard and CPU for the upgrade.
Got a few watchers on the listing. I imagine all of them are from here though :v:

I installed the driver from a fresh Windows 7 install which I later upgraded to 10. I'll uninstall and reinstall it and see if that helps, though. It's also worth noting that I use legacy BIOS instead of typical UEFI, but I don't remember taking a performance hit from it. Another thing possibly worth noting - people were reporting over clocking the card by +135Mhz core and +450Mhz memory clock was stable, so I tried it, but I could only see the memory clock change in CPU-Z. I thought maybe it was just misreporting it, but now I'm kinda doubting things. 3D Mark also only reported a very marginal benefit after over clock (probably within margin of error), whereas people on forums were noting a significant FPS boost (15 to 30 more frames per second) in various games.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/J3x5CMi.png[/img] can't wait to return this and get a 1060, the software is so fucking bad
But with NVCP you have to wait about 6 months for it to open.
[QUOTE=Shadaez;50667283] can't wait to return this and get a 1060, the software is so fucking bad[/QUOTE] Give it a chance. How often does that happen for you?
If switched GPUs every time I had an issue with the software I'd get a new GPU at least twice a month.

[QUOTE=Zombiespeed;50667370]Give it a chance.

They put out new drivers today I think, did you try em?

Also you could ask in /r/AMD maybe, but they'll probably tell you you're using the software wrong and not to insult their God.
So I finally sat down and tried to fix my issue where windows wouldn't recognize my cpu model or ram, even though it would use both. tried sfc /scannow and it kept failing. Tried to use Dism, but after trying several different solutions, I could never get it to find the source files (even after creating a windows 10 usb and pointing it there). It came down to having to re-install windows 10. Even though the windows 10 reboot/recovery tools remove programs and such, when you "upgrade" to windows 10, it keeps all of your programs and files. So I just used the windows 10 usb I had created to "upgrade" windows 10 to windows 10, and now everything works perfectly and I didn't lose anything. Microsoft inadvertently did something right......

[QUOTE=Brt5470;50667583]They put out new drivers today I think, did you try em?[/QUOTE] Hm, used their autodetect thing cause I'm lazy and I guess it gave me an old version. Trying them now.
The new driver also seems to have fixed the power draw issue. They moved power pull from the PCIe slot to the 6pin connector which seems much safer. TDP still is probably high, but it's on the cable designed to deliver it. [url]http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/Radeon-Software-Crimson-Edition-16.7.1-Release-Notes.aspx[/url]
