Well seems that will have to wait, i am lucky, while everything seemed in place, after unplugging and replugging everything the card seems to work ok for now. Crossing fingers...

Ok, i am not lucky it just breathed it's final moments in a sence. Now it can't even boot windows without a blue screen.

Remove the cooler and thermal paste then cook it in an oven for awhile to reflow the solder. It works half the time. See google for details.

I ordered a 960 online, will arrive in a couple of days. I don't think the rest of the family will let me put electronics in the oven to try it and it doesn't matter anymore to me, since no matter what it's going to be replaced now.

6xIR shouldn't be a problem for that GPU. It may have only 112GB/sec. of memory bandwidth, but it has color compression and an impressive pixel fillrate of 36 GPix./s
The real test is: can it handle 8xIR / 5K res? (the R9 270 failed the test with 57/60 fps)
That is an assumption based on tests done with PC games. You cannot say that for sure until you actually test it.

Which games did you test? Which settings? Which build? Which scenes? How did you record the framerate? Did you leave the camera still during the tests? And so on. Those numbers seem high for a 270 but since I have no idea what sort of tests you ran you may have tested a less demanding game/scene for all I know.
You do this a lot. You pull numbers out of thin air with no context and treat them as universal fact. It annoys me greatly. If you do not so much as list your testing parameters then your data becomes totally useless. The difference in gpu requirements can easily vary by more than 10 fold from game to game. And just as much from scene to scene.
I would wait to let him test before stating how fast the 960 is in dolphin.

Do you already have a decent laptop? Is there a reason you want a windows tablet specifically?
I've been wanting a Windows tablet/2 in 1 for a while now, mainly for school work, programming, light browsing, and possibly light gaming(like PixelJunk Monsters). Plus, it'd be nice to have a battery that lasts longer than 4-5 hours, not that that's bad just I'm constantly on the go during school weeks and my laptop barely lasts during my classes(we can use laptops in class, but we can't have devices plugged up in outlets). I've also been interested in seeing how linux performs on them, but from what I've read it's poor right now.
