No that's the sound of AMDs marketshare imploding.

It is like reading a playgrounds chit chat on this forum sometimes lol.

BTW,wasn't I supposed to get a free async driver for my GTX960 which some here said Nvidia would deliver - it seems missing in action,LOL!!

At least OpenGL seems OK in Doom,not the mess that is Vulkan.

Aftermarket on reference. Such as the 'ARCTIC Accelero L2 Plus VGA Cooler'

Costs about £20

OK fair enough. i remember there were "Warranty Void" stickers on the back of my RX 480, so you may not get a positive answer from Sapphire.

Should be a nice improvement in noise and cooling though.

Most likely with a driver update from Nvidia :eek:

@CAT-THE-FIFTH, yeah me too, promises half a year over due and still waiting on that driver.

You better watch out your on there old Generation now. No more changing drivers without wondering if you will need to call the fire brigade.

Is that a GTX 480 with the fan profile set slightly off? Is that thing causing all this hot weather in the UK?
