    What is explicit multiadapter by amd?

    Thank you for the reply and it actually helps with what i had in mind. I'm with you with the 1 good gpu is better. But i was thinking about future upgrades. Upgrading to a new gpu means your old one just becomes a paper wieght. Now you can actually use it for an extra boost. I have a r9 390 now...

    What is explicit multiadapter by amd?

    i have heard Dx 12's multiadapter but can someone give me a somewhat clear and short explanation. i've read a few articles but they are a bit too long to read and hard to understand. the things i know so far is: you can now pair any GPUs (brand generation or make) including intergrated graphics...

    Something unknown is using 3gb of RAM

    What is a nice upgrade?

    I would suggest a GTX 970. It is around that GPU sweet spot. I would actually prefer a R9 390 but it uses more power and you may need to upgrade your PSU for that. Just about any GPU can fit into a Mobo. I'm more concerned about the case and if a 970 can fit in it. 80+ mean the effeciency of...

    Other uses for HD 7770?

    I just upgraded my HD 7770 to a R9 390 today. What do i do with the 7770 now? I'm pretty sure it can't xfire with the 390. And i doubt anyone is gonna buy a 2-year old 7770. Now that I'm not using it, is there any other uses for the 7770? All i see now is a very dusty paper weight.

    Os on SSD then SRT with HHD possible?

    is it possible to install the OS on SSD then partition the rest of the SSD to be used as SSD cache for a HDD? I don't like having to decide which storage to put stuff on. I just want all my files on one location and have the SRT decide which apps i use the most and have it cached.
