I forgot to add: I have a Swiftech H240-X on the CPU. The temps are a little warm but nothing to worry about imho. GPU barely crests 60c and the CPU doesn't get past 53c. And! I have a 750w Gold PSU, I forget the manufacturer off hand

Greetings to all, this is my native post, please bear with me, I'm frustratedly confused. Here's the deal: I have an amd FX8350 16gb Gskill DDR3 ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 Sapphire Tri R9 290 Win 7 x64 Ult sp1 I use a 42" Vizio Hd tv for a monitor, 1080x1920. I've been out of the computer...

where is the trouble? Why can't my card decide if it's 5XXX ...OR 6XXXXX......XOXOXOXOXOOXXO

my understanding is that the 6XXX series is a refinement of the 5XXX, HOWever... the 5XXX makes better video games.

But why label it one thing when the hardware that picks it up is going to id it as something else? I'm not complaining, I got a great deal...essentially 2x(two) OC'd 5870's for under 300$.

I haven't done that...what's weird is that when I first got it, plugged it in, the clocks were set to the 5870's, then after a reboot, the clocks maintained at 6870's (900/1050)

I bought one to xfire my HDRadeon XFX 2gddr56870, turns out it's a 5870....but NOT YET! after updates....turned into a 6870.....still some programs recognize as a 5870....what does this mean.....never seen this before....but then again, these are strange times. Oh yeah: from new egg, currently...
