Phone posted:My tenure with AMD seems like it's coming to a close seeing how my HD7950 has been a colossal piece of poo poo and flashes artifacts from time to time. It must have overhead me on Monday saying that I was thinking about picking up an nVidia card to get away from the never-ending nightmare that are the Catalyst Driver Suite (now with AMD Gamezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz) because it decided to show off a bunch of cool rear end full screen artifacts that warranted a reboot even though I made sure to underclock it. It isn't a reference card but my Gigabyte windforce 970 is pretty drat quiet.

Truga posted:Only because they both chose the wrong option and started doing it in the first place. APIs and drivers are so convoluted and have such poo poo error handling and inconsistent behavior that it's pretty much impossible to put out a fully compliant and working product, which leads to 'fixes' in the driver that makes the driver even more convoluted. That's one of the things that Mantle was an attempt to fix.

If you have the room in your case the windforce runs extremely cool. I watched my temps playing Phantom Pain and it peaked at 60C.

I got a GTX 970 a couple months ago, and I hadn't had any trouble from it except this morning when I woke it up from sleep mode it had white screens with randomly spaced red and blue (I think) pixels, and they'd flash to black and back to the speckled white repeatedly. I've never had a failure like that and restarting the PC immediately fixed it. Does that sound like something I should be concerned about? (i5, windows 10)

Thanks. With new hardware I'm always worried I got a lemon, but with GPUs the expectation of them never loving up is probably unrealistic.

THE DOG HOUSE posted:Same. Once I saw him like rubber band a cooler to a $5000 processor on a cardboard box while using a $1000 GPU to keep it from falling over. But I like stuff he says otherwise lol The worst part was he had the cpu holddown removed.

They should just be a block connector. It would make things simpler 99% and more complicated the other 1%, which off the top of my head the only thing I can think of is adding a lock to your power switch.

I could sort of see the benefit in terms of cooling, but you'd never have enough pins would you?

Don Lapre posted:There is no cooling benefit, if anything cooling is worse as you have less room I was thinking you could cool on both sides, but now that I think about it that's nonsense because the die's only on one side.
