Took a while as I had to wait for the damn thing to download on my crappy DSL connection.

Here it is http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/1479553?

How does it look?

Looks v. good!! I'm going to think about upgrading to 8.1!

pprest123 · 25 Oct 2013 at 20:18

Also, is there a reason it is reading only 3GB VRAM?

Yeah, I migrated solely for it

- it really isn't all that bad, I had it forced on me since my work rolled it out, so now I'm really comfortable with it. I use Fedora for everything else other than gaming though!

Mine is on the way, a Sapphire 290x!

K1LaW8tt5 · 25 Oct 2013 at 20:30

Guys

So does Windows 8.1 give better scores then?

VincentHanna · 25 Oct 2013 at 20:39

I opted not to install the AMD Raptr software with the new drivers.

Will test out Heaven now.

But you get the cool amd logo in the taskbar.

That's the only reason i install it.

Downloading

teppic · 25 Oct 2013 at 20:41

I guess this new release is mainly tuning for the 290X but also more frame pacing improvements. No notes up yet.

I think its almost identical to Beta 3, just a bug fix. The D3D file seems the same at least anyway.
