Because 7970 Ghz edition wasn't enough
Seriously though, need it for Oculus rift and got a great deal - 500 euro unopened.
It's really good too, faster than Titan X at half the price and overclocks pretty crazy as well.
Still not enough to max out GTA:V and Batman: Arkham Knight at stable 1080p 60fps, need SLI or next gen for that.

Looks amazing. 
Did you learn this by yourself, or attended some kind of art school?

Off-Topic / Re: PC Spec's thread
« on: May 02, 2016, 08:11:34 pm »Yo im planning to buy new PC very soon.
So i spent few days reading staff about new hardware and
hire are my picks:
Jalicno please help.
X99S SLI PLUS
i7-5820K
GTX 980
32GB DDR4 - Don`t know what type yet.
Samsung SM951 128 GB Internal SSD - M.2 2280
PSU - ?
CASE - ? (maybe box)
Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - ?
Hey, not Jallicno, but I know stuff as well
- RAM - 32GB is absolutely not needed for gaming, so unless you do video rendering or something similar, 16GB will be more than enough. I'd even say 8GB is enough for 99% of the cases as well, but I recently ran into an situation where it wasn't, so I'm upgrading that myself as well at the moment. As X99 is quad channel, in case of 16GB of ram you should get 4 sticks of 4GB, not 2 of 8GB.
- SSD - Get a bigger one - seriously, for such a high end build installing programs and games (which are huge nowadays) in HDD will hurt performance WAY more than anything else. I'd say go for 512 GB, even if it means using a slower SSD and losing 2 cores and some RAM. I have 256GB myself, and really wish I had more.
- GPU - I don't know for how much you are getting your 980, but they are usually not worth it. 980 is only about 20% faster than 970 and costs way more. R9 390X is very similar to 980 in performance and costs considerably less as well. Higher end GPUs affect gaming performance more than the two additional cores, so, depending on your budget, 980 Ti and cheaper CPU and motherboard could also make more sense. Personally, I recently upgraded to 980 Ti, but I got a great deal. It overclocks way past Titan X performance, but that still isn't enough to max out GTA V at 1080p 60fps .
- PSU - don't cheap out on it if you don't want to burn your $$$ components.
Pick accordingly to this list: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
Calculate watt rating you need here: http://powersupplycalculator.net/ - Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - that's a very personal thing, I got a cougar 700K with brown switches (IMO the best kind), and I love it, but it depends on your requirements. Try to check out different switches at retail stores.

so, intentional or not, they made the driving even more arcadey and grippy
(watch past the half of the video to see what i'm talking about.)
After playing for a bit (i'm still at level 29), I'm kinda dissapointed in GTA:O, it isn't bad, but it could have been so much more with less retarded design choices and bit more development quality they could totally afford.
EDIT: Tried it again myself, and it's not as noticable as i would have thought, comet and dominator are still fun to drift. It probably affects people with analog controls way more than it affects keyboard users.

nothing i would really need, but some of the features are nice.
I don't really like the new interface - it's even flatter than windows 8, and some options are really dumbed down (why transparency must be an on/off option, and not a slider, and why can we pick from just 48 colors is beyond my understanding), plus taskbar is smaller, but others might like it.
also, some things are still broken - for example, the two different control panels.
all in all, it was probably worth it, but mostly because it will be needed in the future, and you don't really lose anything. I had no problems whatsoever upgrading from 8.1, all programs, their configurations, files and settings remained.

no offence, bot you should refrain from posting, if you have very little knowledge about what you are suggesting.
as i said, crossfire brings more trouble than it is worth, if you have an old gpu. the performance isn't consistent, you get stuttering frames (proper term is frame variance), and getting another GPU to match (you can pair different gpus too, but that will stutter even more) can prove difficult.
and that fx 4300 is pretty much on one level with the phenom, and not a thing you'd want to run gta v in.
Take a price point you are comfortable with, and pick a part:
Best Graphics Cards For The Money: April 2015
Best Gaming CPUs For The Money: April 2015
(Consider, that those ratings are based on prices in USA, you might find better deals)
Here are some GTA V performance graphs on what to expect:
Notice how low AMD CPUs are in CPU performance
GPU performance on high graphics
On Medium graphics

the cpu is really weak too, i'd suggest updating everything. and don't bother with dual gpu's, unless you're going high end its more trouble than it's worth.
the parts depend on how much are you willing to spend.

AdrenalineX Development / Re: Idea For Low FPS
« on: March 26, 2015, 08:25:41 pm »
actually, the system is indeed coded to forgive little lag spikes, but there will always be someone who lags more than that.
the reason it doesn't warn you for that is because it is time, and not count based.

MadMax and others proved that it is possible to abuse it in any race where acceleration is crucial. And, if you're getting random lag spikes, you're probably not competing for the record anyway, as that will indeed slow you down.

the dual channel will give you ~5% performance increase in some applications, which is pretty good considering it doesn't cost anything to get 2x4 instead of 1x8.
