    [SOLVED] System upgrade recommendation

    Thank you. Yes, I am thinking the same. The CPU is almost 6 years old but still running fine.

    Assaisins Creed unity and far cry 4 frame rate

    I have two R9 290X (Sapphire Tri-x and Asus DCUII). But still I am experiencing only 30-40 FPS maximum. Even if I disable crossfire the change is subtle may be 2-3 frame less. I am using 14.11.2 beta drivers. Is it because of poor optimization of the game? And for far cry 4 I get better fps if...

    How to identify R9 290X and R9 290

    Hi, I am buying a used Sapphire R9 290X to crossfire it with my existing one. The seller is from ebay and he is saying he will only provide the card.
