Need Advice - R9 290x or R9 290

^ Didn't you see the "nvidia" logo and hear the "nvidiaaaaaaaaa" sound in the beginning? It means that the game is optimised for Nvidia chips. This might be a vague answer though.

All GPU reviews are done on Intel chips. And you're using FX-8150 which although is a good chip, but not comparable to Intels for gaming. It was regressive when compared to Phenom II. Piledriver/FX-8350 is okay though.

Your peformance won't be same as that in reviews.

Hm, Then I think I should move on to Intel now else I wont be getting desired and legit performance.

Alright.

And Also a Curious Question to ask-

How come Nvidia out-Performing AMD cards in 2 most fascinated games - Far Cry 3 and Crysis 3 ?

Even EVGA 780 sc is performing better than both 290 cards. I need a SOLID on this question as this is crippling my mind from last 2 weeks :-x

780 ghz edition is faster than R9 290.

which Crysis 3 version has "nvidaaaa" ? :lol: i have the one with "gaming evolved"

Thanks Top. I would go either with Asus or Dell.

Now, CRYSIS 3- ALL MAX Out with 2x SMAA - AVG Frame-50 --- DO you think its fine? I think the card should be giving 60 but due to the bottleneck issue, its getting constrained.

Right?

R9 290 will give u 50~52 min frames and 62 at average at that res and preset with 0XAA, with 2XSMAA i believe its ok...to get 50 in average used to get 42 ...not an issue. and indeed in this game 780 performs 2-3 FPS better than 290, i think it doesn't matter, i mean you have bought a very very potent card for solid gaming right? not to see that if it beats a months old nvidia card?

One word: overclock. Wait for some time and you'll see multi-core optimized games.

Really? Then I am waiting.

you have top class OC mobo,Get aftermarket cooler and you can easily take it to 4.7-5ghz :wink:

I have Hyper 212X EVO - Will that do good?

Hey Sam dont get me wrong mate, i didnt mean I bought just to beat Nvidia. I am trying to explain how could a Next gen architecture can be out performed by those Gtx 780? But then I thought of the botleneck and single core performance of Intel are the points to get considered in. AMD FX 8150 is not a Good Procy to be very frank , I am feeling like I have wasted 15k for just a bit performance .

Correct me If I am Wrong , please .

with 212 evo ,you can reach 4.5ghz stably. but again settle down to 4.3 or 4.4ghz and see any fps changes. also post the results back here.

also if your sole purpose is gaming, disable some cores.

You can OC it to 4.3 -4.5ghz :)

Here are some great Guide which will help you :wink:
