Thats what I originally thought, PWM is definitely a factor but its just one aspect, I know a test for PWM, if you wave your hands across the screen and see lines it means there is PWM. I've tried 3 different LED monitors that had no PWM and I still had trouble with them. I like OLED but they dont seem to want to make me a 24 - 27 inch 4K OLED monitor.

I don't really bother with overdrive Andy, but for what it's worth, i enable it, set max fan speed to 100% etc, then do all my overclocking, setting powerlimits and fan profile in AB.
You'll notice that when you've done so, the changes will be reflected in Overdrive.

OK cheers.
Well I decided to play GTAV for a bit and hory chet I could not believe how much better it is ! I'm actually seeing 60 FPS now ! For the most part it sat in the high 40s and low 50s even in the peeing rain with the sun coming out. As soon as that was over the game sits jammed at 60 FPS.
I would say it's easily at least 10% faster than my Titan Blacks in GTAV. Very, very impressed, I really can't believe it's only one card.
And micro stutter is completely gone. For a minute I thought I had some input lag, then I realised that the front left wheel on my car was jammed and had no tyre on it lmao. What a sop ! /facepalm.
Amazing card. It really is amazing at 4k.. Now, to play Wolfenstein : The old blood, which did not support 4k at all so run like ass on one card at 4k.

Glad you like it bud
, having a few issues with GTA V myself at the moment will random fps drops, but thats the game and not my system, when its working properly fps avg around 80-100fps @1440P maxed out (4xmsaa)

I'm convinced that the random drops are caused by running more than one GPU, because I used to get that all the damn time on GTAV. They didn't drop to 0, but they did drop by about 15 FPS and even Gsync was having issues with it, so instead of a massive stutter I would get like a slow motion thing going on for a couple of seconds. Very odd !!
Any way, for the ROH here she is, safely nestled in.
I cut my finger doing that so I had to wipe all of the blood off but she's in. Coil whine on my PSU has dropped significantly, but then I expected that
Very happy boy, and a massive shout out to Greg for selling it to me and getting it here safe and sound
Just installing Wolfy now, will report back. I was getting between 23 and 31 FPS with it before on one Titan Black, so I'm pretty sure I can double that easy and it will actually be playable.
But yeah, god damn this thing is a 4k MONSTER.

Bah, getting artefacts all over the place in Wolfenstein

Very common apparently. Oh well.

It's the same one in sig. A 750w OCZ bronze modular.

Seems like a really crap cash grab that game. I loved the new wolfenstein game but the old blood just looks like something made for cash. I mean from the sounds of the terrible support and bugs and boring gameplay anyway...
Real shame you are having problems mate, hopefully they patch its soon.

Overdrive/Powertune for the reference Fury X/290X is all kinds of awesome. You can set a custom fan profile in Afterburner if you desire, but I much prefer letting Powertune manage things for me.
Here's how it works.
Firstly you set up your ideal GPU target temperature, this is what Powertune will aim to keep your GPU locked at for 95% of the time. Secondly you set the maximum fan speed you wish to use to try and maintain that temperature. The lower you set the GPU target temp, the harder the fan may have to work to maintain that temp. It's about finding the right balance.
I'd recommend setting a target temp of 52-60C and setting the maximum fan speed to 100%.
Assuming you set the target temp to 52C like in my screenshot above, that will be the peak temperature the GPU will be allowed to reach before the fan speed will increase. At this point for a few seconds the core clock will adjust slightly as the fan speed increases. After a few seconds powertune will have dynamically calculated the bare minimum fan speed you need to maintain that target GPU temperature which you set earlier.
It's a great little feature and using the setup above this is what i see in game using Quad Fury X. Btw, a single Fury X will perform this task even better as it's not sat next to three other Fury X's in QuadFire.

If only it worked with all AMD cards I much prefer the idea of just setting a max temp and fan speed and letting it do its own think. I tweak my fan profile all the time trying to make it what I think is better, but machines are always better than humans at that task....

It's a AMD reference design thing I'm afraid. AIB's take their own route and commonly disable the feature. Fury X owners will have it though and i highly recommend people use it. It's great if you have OCD about GPU temps and you have more than one GPU in the case. It helps me sleep easiery at night seeing identical GPU/CPU temps.

Why is that? I am interested because don't all nvidia cards support a similar feature, regardless of if AIB or reference? or am I thinking of something else...
Or is another case of nvidia enforcing AIB/consumer restrictions in their product, whereas AMD allow a more laxed approach? Similar to the whole thing that SLI cant be different cards. They also cant be used at x4 bandwidth (why? what a stupid restriction). Whereas AMD cards can be different cards if based on the same GPU core and can be used at 4x?
Or am I just talking out my arse.
Another nice thing would be if MSI AB supported custom fan curves on every GPU, I would have the bottom cards fans spin wayyy slower since it barely even gets up to even 75c right now due to the aggressive curve I have, but thats only because the top card gets so hot!

Thanks Matt. So I can't increase the GPU clock yet though, no?
Right now the noise is perfectly fine. It is making the front intake fan with the MAF sensor spin up a little but I can live with that. I mean, it's so quiet I can still hear the PSU whine lol.
Must get onto Alienware about that and get them out to fit a new PSU for me.

You can touch the core, although I doubt you will get more than +10% with stock voltage. Fiji seems pretty volt bound atm, most people are getting around 1125-1150 at stock volts, compared to 1050 stock clocks.

No clue mate, i don't follow what our competitors do.
AMD AIB's usually prefer to go with their own cooling designs and fan profiles and that's perfectly fine because their designs usually have more than one fan.
Try 1090 on the core Andy. To go much higher you'll need voltage control, my worst card does 1090 24/7 stable.

Better picture of the Fury X, PCB is so neat, I thought I might not like
the short length of the card but it turns out that I dont mind
Whats your setup and your temps? Interested in how the Fury X AIO compares to a proper custom loop.
