I really have no issues with my butt cheap r9 280 toxic.
Best value for the moneys. Price is not value, most of the times.
My point was, why waste money on a brand name
if there is more affordable solution.
Absolutely true, Chicken - especially when u run an Eyefinity 3-monitor system like me, it's damn cheap compared 2 any other multi-monitoring solutions. And i can tell u, it works great and is absolutely fantastic 2 play on it - at least every other game than HAWKEN, because it is the 1 and only game i have issues with, and even this just 4 a short while. Before that it ran HAWKEN pretty well.
Now be4 any1 begins 2 shout:
"THAT'S WHAT CAUSES YOUR PROBLEM, STUPIDO - THE GPU HAS 2 PROCESS 3 TIMES THE SOLUTION THAN NORMAL!!!" - Stop!
I have a couple of different presets, i can switch with a single shortcut, disabling or enabling every single monitor at my will, including a setup, where my TV doubles the mainscreen of my extendet desktop, thus allowing me 2 play games, videoclips, movies, etc. also in the livingroom, if i want to. But b4 i start HAWKEN i ALWAYS switch 2 single monitor use, that's a resolution of 1440 x 900 only (native monitor res), and is, in fact, handled by the driver as it really is. There is no overstraining the card by guarantee. BTW, my monitors are all identical ones - Hanns.G HW191D, and the 2nd and 3rd r connected via active mini displayport to DVI adapters by Sapphire. The whole system runs smooth like a swiss clock with any game, but HAWKEN. I just don't understand y...
OK, good luck grapheus. I think it might end up being heat related, what kinda case/airflow do you have?
And like I said a full list of your computer specs would be awesome. :)
Ok dude. Pants down. Here's my spex:
- CPU: AMD Athlon II x4 640 "Propus" (4 x 3000 MHz Quadcore), Stepping: BL-C3 "Bloodhound", Socket AM3, Cache: 4 x (64 + 64 + 512)
- CPU Cooler: Scythe MUGEN II
- Mainboard: ASRock M3N78D, Chipset: NVidia MCP78, PCI Expres x16 v2.0
- RAM: 4 GB Kingston DDR3 SDRAM UDIMM (PC3-10600), 2 x 2 GB Dual-Channel Kit, clock 666.6 (3.33 x 200 MHz), timing 9 -9 - 9 - 24 trc 33
- GPU: GIGABYTE GV-R928XOC-3GD, Rev. 2.0, AMD Radeon R9 280OX, 3GB GDDR5 SDRAM, 348-bit Bus
- OS: Windows XP (32 bit) / Windows 7 (64 bit) dual boot system (both r installed on different partitions, and run fine without any issues) the latter is up to date
- PSU: Cooler Master G650M, 650 Watt, was recommended 2 me by a friend for its high efficiency, much power on the main bus 4 every conceivable GPU available that moment, and also 4 its numerous different high quality protective circuits against almost any possible hazard.
- Monitors: 3 x HANNS.G HW191D, horizontal frequency: 30 - 83 kHz, vertical frequency: 49 - 75 Hz, max. pixelclock: 140 MHz
- Hard drive: SAMSUNG HD502HJ (500 GB, 16 MB), SAMSUNG HD204UI (2000 GB, 32MB), Western Digital WD20EZRX-00D8PB0 (2000 GB), all SATA drives
- Case - it's from Cooler Master, too, but i 4got the exact notation. I built in 2 pretty effient but very silent high quality Scythe fans, and all possibly interfering cables r bound 2gether and out of way 2 ensure a good airstream.
So far my most important internals. I bought the whole bunch separate and assembled it myself. I always built up my own PCs, and also a few others 4 friends since 1998, and have quite a bit experience in doing that. Might not be the finest stuff available, but performance-wise it didn't let me down by now, and runs always fine with a huge collection of games - but HAWKEN... ;( However - all my knowledge and experience is not enough - this time i am at my wit's end. So if you detect some bad kind of bottleneck in my hardware definitely causing the actual trouble, i'd be glad 2 know about it. Thanx 4 all your help.
