- Thread starter Panos
- Start date
You'll be pleased to know i dropped it off at the post office today, will be with you tomorrow before 1pm.
Another £26 delivery though!
Thanks mate
I might finish work an hour early for it 
1080p today 1440p tomorrow when the BenQ freesync monitor arrives
I'll expect to see a few degrees higher for the increased res but for the moment I'm very happy. I was expecting to see 70+.
295X2 is awesome man, just overclocked mine and they done even exceed 65 degrees at 1440P
If you could do a review of the monitor that would be awesome! Just need to shift my ASUS ROG SWIFT and ill deffo buy one if there good

Did you post it after 3pm? If you had posted it before then it would have cost you around £16-17. Not sure why that is, the lady at the till told me that

I thought going past the 1030mhz core clock on them was pointless?
Is it worth upping the memory clock?
That's not true at all, check this out.
2160p

That was with +100mv in afterburner.
If you want some overclocking without increased power draw or heat, run undervolted at -0.050v and whack the memory up to 1625Mhz. The 295x2 appear to have golden memory chips, I've sampled three that did 1625Mhz at -0.050v.
In sniper Elite i found increasing memory from 1250Mhz to 1625Mhz increased my fps 9% at 2160P.

You selling/sold your 295x2s AMDMatt?
After all the good things you were saying part of me is wondering/hoping if you sold them because you know the 300 series cards are due out soon and wanted to sell the 295x2 before this so they don't lose too much value?
*fingers crossed*

Can't seem to get Crossfire working on the 295X2, and the second gpu page on afterburner is blank?
Try disabling ULPS in afterburner once or twice.
Nope, I'm moving back to my 8GB reference cards.
Tried it a few times, no luck. Is it knackered?
Doubt it as it was working fine. Turn the pc off, reseat it in the pci-e slot, check power connections, power back on and reinstall the driver.
