    AMD Vega MegaThread! FAQ and Resources

    I was probably gonna go enthusiast level to begin with, perhaps the 16GB model that might come to fruition. How ever if they over a card with onboard ssd and it only came in a 8GB model I would probably jump all over it!

    Removing SLI for single GPU

    Thanks for the post, feeling confident at convincing him of a single card But if its sli then each card pulls their own power so a 880m at 100 TDP or a 980m at 122 TDP should be ok unless its a single slot power issue in which case a 970m should be doable since it beats the 880m in a lot of...

It just inches as if its loading 1 frame at a time. I had a HD 7970 and my friend gave me one of his GTX...
