    Satya Nadella Admits Microsoft’s Phone Share Is Unsustainable

    It's really a shame that Microsoft is lagging behind so much in the phone business, because Cortana is the better assistant out of Siri, Google Now.

    Super cheap legit Windows 10 Pro OEM for $20.00

    Ah, I've always wondered. I was hesitant to do business with them, regardless of how much of a discount I can get there, I rather not be part of the problem. Does GreenManGaming deal with stolen CDKeys as well or are they in direct business with publishers?

    Dragon Age III: Inquisition announced!!!!

    Playing a 2-handed weapon warrior. In the early levels I had plenty of fun Scorpion chaining baddies, kicking them in the jewels, and overhand smashing them... now I am a completely different beast - I specialized as a Reaver and bought the purple axe with 28% crit you buy at Skyhold. Oh the...

    Just received mine which was also manufactured in January of 2014, no dead pixels, and as far as I can tell it's in good working order. Bought from B&H Photo.

    R9 290 Turning off power saving mode.

    I had power saving in CP at high already, but using Radeon Pro to force highest clocks while in game did the trick, thanks.

    R9 290 Turning off power saving mode.

    I've always had a problem with Rome 2 where the R9 would for some reason lower its clock speed when zoomed in infantry. I solved this by overclocking by 1mhz using MSI Afterburner which caused the card to always run at max clock speed. Well fast forward 1 year later, now I can't replicate it...

    After installing aftermaket cooler my card has problems 'starting up.'

    I used an old 4870 on the busted PCI-E slot and wouldn't be picked up by the computer either. I'm using the R9 290 on the motherboard's PCI-E x4 2.0 and it works perfectly. I either damaged the PCI-E x16 3.0 slot or its surroundings when removing/inserting the card, or the live DVI wire was...

    After installing aftermaket cooler my card has problems 'starting up.'

    Looks like I toasted the PCI-E 3.0 slot along with the DVI cable. Card is fine even after tinkering with it so much, even putting the reference cooler back on. Time to buy another motherboard and enjoy texture pop-ins while I wait for it.

    After installing aftermaket cooler my card has problems 'starting up.'

    Gelid Icy Vision rev2. Yes I had to use thermal tape to stick memory heatsinks, and a thermal pad for the VRM row. I'll do just this once I get back home, hopefully I didn't do any permanent damage.

    After installing aftermaket cooler my card has problems 'starting up.'

    Card was working perfectly with reference cooler, card would boot up immediately with system and show BIOS screen on-time. http://www.gelidsolutions.com/products/index.php?lid=1&cid=3&id=42 When you say seating, do you mean the copper block on the GPU or the card in its PCI slot? I tried...

    After installing aftermaket cooler my card has problems 'starting up.'

    I installed an aftermarket cooler on a R9 290 and the card will sometimes boot up with my system, but not display anything until Windows -- no picture for BIOS. This is WHEN it starts up which is 1 our of 10 times, but most of the time my monitor stays in standby and windows can't see the card...
