So after looking at some GPUs, just incase the new polaris or pascal, seems to be a let down, or is too much for me. I came across the R9 390X, this was a new card for me as I was just focussing on the 980ti. So then i found out that a R9 can be somewhat very powerful in crossfire mode. So...

I have the corsair 750m PSU and The requirements for a radeon r9 290 I was hearing were 750 wat.

I ran into something that seems funny to me so I’ll ask here if this seems normal. I have a Gigabyte F2A88X-D3H mobo. It has a PCIex16, then two x1’s and finally a x4 slot. No onboard video as I did not buy an APU as I intended to run a separate video card from the start and didn’t know that I...

Hey guys, I know the caps in the title may be a bit overkill but this is an issue that is really annoying me. Would like to say that all gpu, cpu and mobo drivers are up to date. My problem is that, after loading mc with a steady 100+fps, I'll start to move and sprint around and then every 5 or...
