MSI 290X LE quick review and thoughts

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/6197998

Cheers Harlequin and working now. Tells me I need an update but as I run the bench threads, I might just allow my scores :D

Edit:

Also got COD:AW working by changing the 144Hz to 85Hz in the cfg (thanks). All the textures are messed up though and it looks like I am playing on a SNES lol. I put all the settings to max as well except for supersampling and 2560x1440P.

Really? lol Well I will be and I assumed it was just some tweaking needed. It did say the memory used was 3200 or summit like that, so I didn't think it was that at all.

Edit:

2850MB for that as seen in the video... Surely that still leaves me well over a GB to play with?

Does anyone else get massive stutter when they enable V-Sync or is this just another 'me' thing?

Just tried one of my favourite and best looking games "The Vanishing of Ethan Carter" and tearing is bad and enabling V-Sync gives horrendous stutter :(

I did try and record it but Raptr's DVR just recorded a black screen.
 
No, I am too lazy to OC and generally run at stock whatever system I have except for the CPU. The only time I OC is when benching.

No biggie and the more I think on it, it is the fact of coming from 144Hz G-Sync to 85Hz non G-Sync. I watched Matt's vid, which replicates my gameplay and I see a stutter but he and a few others don't, so maybe it is just me being used to G-Sync.

Appreciated all the help and info though guys and no real problems to speak of now. Shame on the 120/144Hz bit but I can live with that :)
 
Not played FC4 but played AC:U today for quite a bit and with V-Sync on, it played really well. No issues at all, which quite surprised me. The very occasional stutter but I had that with the Titans.

well Greg; hopefully driver on the 19th will solve some issues as AMD's reported should allow 290s to run 144 :) or at least get you to 120 :D

True and what Whyscotty says is true also. A shame I couldn't get 120Hz working and that has marred a rather good experience. From my own personal perspective, nVidia have a better driver experience over AMD but if AMD had 144Hz working, DVR in CCC (and working in all games), I would be hard pushed to knock AMD. On the basis of what I paid for a very good 290X though, I am very pleased with my experience.
