295X2 Questions

Yeah I think Matt runs the facebook page. I presume this is his rig?

Yep that's Matts rig.

He has named it "The Red Baron"

He has just fitted a 2000W PSU to it.

For an AMD rep I'd have expected atleast an FX cpu

That PC has got an i7 5960X

But I think he has got AMD CPUs as well.

This explains why you didn't know how to install drivers and why it took you 4 hours to install the 295X2

Your looking at a left, a right, an uppercut and a tinkle of the balls.

AMD actually goes to professional cons and they use 2011 and 2011 platforms to showcase their firepros or mainstream gpus for designers/videographers etc...
They know they've lost the cpu war

I've had problems with that built in remover before. It can cause issues for certain setups. You seem to be in the minority of people who actually don't have issues with it. DDU is a much more surefire way of doing it.

Doesn't really matter tbh.. besides this is built in with the software/driver so by uninstalling it through it, it deletes the data. I've checked in the folder it leaves behind and everything is gone, looked in registry, gone. People are just to anal. If anything does go wrong you just back everything up and reinstall. Same thing like if you did anything wrong really.

Ryse maxed out in one scene was 28-33fps. Sounds low but with 1.5x1.5 supersampling and AA my 780 basically froze. So maxed out at that is great.

Far Cry 4 in a small area is 70+fps maxed out.

Just downloading Middle-Earth now.

Edit: I set my GPU target temp to 60 degrees before running unigine. Does that look about right?

Something very wrong there, it is best not to use Valley at the best of times but the result above is not even close for a 295X2.


Try running Heaven 4 using the settings found here.

What score should I be looking at in valley?

 

[Kaapstad]

What score should I be looking at in valley?

Give me a few minutes and I will run it on a couple of 290Xs @1018/1250

About this much with the CPU @4.0ghz.

If you set the target temp to 60 before running the benchmark all this does is lower the clocks and volts to get to 60 hence the lower valley score, Essentially you're slowing your card down to stay at 60'c.

 

[ShaunB-91]

Surely it doesn't slow the card down THAT much though. Like I just said on FB chat if I remember rightly, didn't Tom say the jump from 60-70+ had a minimal performance hit as opposed to say 50-60 degrees?

Look at Kapstaad's score, his FPS is my max FPS lol, thats not right.

I aint got a clue what to tell you but it seems tech just doesn't like you.

Well that aint the answer to getting the max out the 295X2 lol.

 

[Dicehunter]

Here's a big clue, It took you 4 hours to install a card that should of taken no more than 5 minutes maximum

Wants to get maximum. Limits peak temparature :S

Genuinely are you ok buddy?

Driver issues for days.

That looks like your card only used one GPU on valley (It looks like it says "r9 200 series x1 4gb").

Something is a bit off..

At least someone understands.
