Sapphire R9 390 OC/Backplate Showcase

[rafay22]

AOA Guyz, here are some detailed pics of the card, it is probably the best deal I have ever had, it's a new card, got a good deal:

I am amazed by how well this sapphire is in temps, it is the most cool card I ever had to this date considering how hot the chip is. And quality is brilliant (Packaging is however not the safest)...
And no worries, I have done my research on the RX480
Thanks..

Atleast you go with AMD will have advantage of DX12.

i would like to see some of the benchmarks so i can compare with GTX 970.

at that point, it beating RX 480 by 200+ margin in firestrike.

Have you OCed your cpu and gpu, i will try posting asap, and btw my firestrike score lies exactly as yours, however idk why your valley is that high. I am full stock.
Oh k, I figured it out a bit, in both of the benchmarks you are using different CPUs and there is 4xAA instead of 8xAA. in the valley benchmarks.

in Valley benchmark i had 2500K however, the CPU impact is not noticeable in this benchmark. you can say several i5s will impact more or less equal. secondly i overclocked about +120 on core which take it to 1448mhz. 4xAA is official benchmark settings in PG Thread so i used that one.

i'll try to post newer result with i5 4670K as well

It sure is, are you rocking that nitro we talked about?

 

[nafu]

[MENTION=29074]rafay22[/MENTION] those are some impressive scores your gpu produced.

i can do more overclock, still have lot of juice to unveil. if you want we can further compete. What you say?
