    AMD Details Remaining Polaris Cards: RX 470, RX 460 Releases Imminent

    "We expected the RX 460 to be a single slow card, but we were mistaken". So it's fast, then!

    Popping and crackling in audio; stuttering in video

    Thread is three years old. I'd say it's time to ditch XP and move on.

    Played it online several times now with my brother and a few friends. Had a metric crapton of fun. Isn't that what really counts in a game?

    Futuremark Rolls Out 3DMark Update With VRMark Preview And New UI

    You're missing the point. All that benchmark suites are designed to do is provide a consistent basis for comparison. I find 3DMark very useful.

    So I may have been working off incorrect / incomplete readings? Hmmm... OK, will maybe give it another shot. Thanks!

    M5A78L-M/USB3 with FX6300 - BIOS advice

    Well at my current manual setting of 19x (3.8GHz), each core pulls 1.288V under load according to HWInfo, which corresponds exactly with P-state P2. P1 and P0 are the Turbo settings, apparently, and they shoot up to 1.3875 and 1.425.

    M5A78L-M/USB3 with FX6300 - BIOS advice

    You've been extremely helpful, so thanks again. Just as a final question; would you suggest sticking to 3.8 until I get some VRM cooling?

    M5A78L-M/USB3 with FX6300 - BIOS advice

    Worked a treat! Processor is steady at 3.8, and 3dMark Firestrike score is a good 2.5% better overall, and over 6% up on the CPU score. This will be a very good starting point for further tweaking. Thank you so much!
