Try posting an image that isn't extremely low resolution next time so I can actually see what I'm looking for clearly. Or a link to the product that you're referring to.

It's dual link. On graphics cards they pretty much always are. And you can easily just count the pins to verify. Actually you don't even have to do that. Just look at the shape of the pinout. Single link will have a gap in the middle.

Sorry. I thought about doing that but i thought a picture would be enough. Thanks for the help though.

Europe > America.
And like I said, all of them were 'worse' in comparison.

C'mon. It isn't his fault, blame Newegg. Anyway, even if the resolution is low, you can still easily see what it is if you know what you're looking for.

Anyway, for future reference:

Kaveri's hUMA could be very useful for amd users. If you flash a gcn card with the hUMA vbios you could use both the igpu and a dedicated gpu with Dolphin's Opencl option.

Just learned that the laptop i'm using can be upgraded because it's using Socket S1g3. Tongue

Seems like the technical specs of the R9 290X and R9 290 are leaked.

Yeah, the 7xxx series do get support for Mantle since they're part of the GCN architecture.

I'm glad Kaveri is getting Mantle Support. AMD's APUs could beat next gen Iris Pro with hUMA and Mantle. AMD should at least let Nvidia use Mantle though. Physx is just gimmicky and Glide didn't work out well. With Mantle on AMD and Nvidia's GPUs more developers will start to use it.
