Shonumi do you still want me to test my G3258?

[Anti-Ultimate]

It's done.

[Garteal]

Not too shabby. You'll notice a nice performance increase over the 280x, but more importantly, the better control panel and tools.

[Anti-Ultimate]

It should be here by tomorrow anyways. Let's see how well it performs

[DatKid20]

Wait that was from a 280x? I would've just waited for the 300 series.

[Anti-Ultimate]

It's here and overclocks like a champ:

This is without any voltage adjustment, stock voltage. Haven't tested for artifacts yet.

EDIT: Skyrim with ENB and no artifacts. It is safe to say this is a monster card right there.

[Garteal]

It really is great for overclocking. This is what I've gotten so far (without touching the voltage) using Firestrike as a bench and artifact check and where nothing crashed (so far).

Goddamnit, now I have something to try and beat.

EDIT: You have the better chip
EDIT2: Actually: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/5804401?

I don't want to break my card, so I'll let it stay there

EDIT3: It crashed running modded Skyrim.

Lolwut Steam achievements for EVGA PrecisionX and benchmarks?

I now know why I got flickering and artifacts in Skyrim with Realvision ENB. Vanilla Skyrim with just Skse and SkyUI seem to be running great on Ultra. Guess I need that GTX 960 or 970 to mod Skyrim to it's full potential.

[Anti-Ultimate]

Even my GTX970 only runs this at 30FPS now, thanks to all these mods. I can only imagine how much my R9 280x would suffer.
