Can this card run minecraft with smooth lighting, when I run my crossfire 290Xs. I get playable frames in the 8-15fps range, but when I turn on smooth

I think it should be FINE! According to NSA, the only 3 games it cannot run would be : The last of us, Uncharted 4 and Heavy Rain

absolutely. You can run bread simulator on this video card at 60fps and not have a single burnt piece of toast
1793376
yes, but for that you will need to get a hydro copper heat sink because water cooling is the only way you can overclock it hard enough to get that high of a fps. if you cool with liquid nitrogen you might be able to get 30fps.

I ran it with a 300w and it ran fine. However, for the price, there are better cards you can get, like the 7750 and 7770 that aren't very expensive, but perform very well.

Original Far Cry plays well, Crysis 2 is a little choppy. I don't think Minecraft requires a lot of power, so I would guess yes.

I honestly could not give you an accurate answer because there are too many factors that affect minecraft FPS such as Ram, single vs multi player, and use of a texture pack.I'm sorry I couldn't be helpful.

Well I'm using a bronze 500 watt and it's working. I did have to use a programme called Asus gpu boost to restrict the draw to the card but it works fine. The xfx website does state you need a minimum of 750 watt to run it so yours should be fine if it us at least bronse rated

Don't waste money on the 270x it runs too hot. Then the 280x is still not worth it. I've had both. Nvidias 970 destroys them and the 290x

It's fairly good. It can run swtor on max and can also run minecraft with shaders with no lag. It's a very good card for the price.

Yep, runs ok. In game you may have to go to the video settings and change rendering to "software" instead of "hardware" to make it run smooth.

Yes, it can run Minecraft without issues. I would recommend a cooling pad under it (Zalman ZM-NC2000 is what I use) because Minecraft will keep it warm.

A Titan Black should be able to run minecraft with the graphics set at 5-D on an 512k monitor. Yes!

When running in SLI the two 16X slots will run at 8X which is fine since it won't bottleneck even at that speed. However the third slot runs at 4X which would cause a timing problem as far as know. I never run Cross-Fire or SLI. I just buy the fastest single card and go that route due to micro- stuttering. Steven Level

The card runs planetside 2 on high with very few issues... ONly when the zone gets really full do I see any stuttering or frame slowing, and I think that's server lag and not the card. It runs Second Life on High, FarCry 3 on Ultra... The only issue I've found so far as an issue with leaving tiny squares of ghost data, and an update to the video drivers fixed that problem. I've been very happy with the card for gaming.

This laptop has always run amazing for me on high graphical demanding games with lots of textures on at a time like Rome II, XCOM, etc. It should run minecraft easily!

Yes I play leauge of legends and run other stuff at the same time with no lag. Should be able to handle mine craft and play music without lag

Well paired with a Radeon R9 290 4GB, I run FC3 and AC Unity at round 50-60 FPS at the very max setting. My fx6300 couldnt do that with the same card

I have no lag on mine. If it isn't ultra then its right below it. Basically I haven't had any lag on anything I've played so far. Its a great card and runs cool.

I would say it really depends on what you plan to run alongside of the stream. If you plan to play and stream a game that has higher demand for graphics than a basic game like "Minecraft" or "League of Legends", then you may have issues. I run onboard graphics overclocked from 600mhz core clock to 800mhz core clock and can run nearly any game with low-medium graphics. To run a stream alongside of that would force me to run on lowest graphics possible. Recently I tested DayZ with onboard graphics and can not run anything higher than the lowest possible graphics. So it really depends on what you want to stream. The 3.0ghz quad-core processor speed I would say has plenty enough capability to run what you want. With a graphics card running alongside this APU, it would be a decent gaming/live streaming machine. However, if you plan to use a separate graphics card, I would recommend looking into AMD's other processors without onboard graphics so you have even more power to you, such as the FX-6300: http://www.amazon.com/AMD-FD6300WMHKBOX-FX-6300-Processor-Edition/dp/B009O7YORK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1390763310&sr=8-4&keywords=amd+processor (update: Games like League of Legends and Minecraft will run on high settings with the built in onboard GPU. Again, only most high demanding games have to be run on low-medium settings. All of my result are with 1080p graphics as well. May have slightly better results with 720p settings. I have not tried streaming personally, but I assume what you may get.)
