Can you check MSI Afterburner if CPU usage/clock went up?

What happen to your card?

If that the case, try remove AMD Accelerated Video Transcoding and AMD Media Foundation Transcoder from AMD Catalyst Install Manager. Reboot your system and check if GPU clock still fluctuating when opening flash/mpc video.

Did it generate any dump file in C:\Windows\minidump?

Definitely caused by PowerPlay/Powertune, sometime the UVD clock didn't give enough volt and causing some artifacts. I used to get this on my laptop HD6770m. Good thing i can set UVD clock via Overdrive editing.
Nowadays I only installed AMD Display Driver + CCC and watching Youtube videos didn't make the clock fluctuate anymore.

Can you upload your version of Profiles.xml inside "AppData\Local\ATI\ACE"?'

Btw, your friend is using Sapphire R9-280X Dual-X?

Both profiles matched, and there's only 2 clock states.. not much we can do there. Timeout Detection and Recovery (TDR) also caused by PowerPlay/PowerTune.

I just compared the beta BIOS you posted and Sapphire 280x Dual-X from TPU website. The only thing changed was Voltage on base clock is slightly higher on both Performance and UVD state on BETA bios.


Did you try to use MSI Afterburner and set your own 2D and 3D clock profile? Set the voltage a tiny bit higher.

Nah.. i don't think a slight increase in voltage will kill your card. Something like 0.05v-0.1v.

What is your card ASIC quality btw?

From the black screen crashed or your older BSOD problem? What is the main caused of the crashed? AMD driver?

^ bad cooler for 290s imo since there's no airflow to cool off VRM1.

I doubt it will drop unless Nvidia will release a new GPU or another price drop.

Open CCC and force SuperSampling 8x AA.

Sell it cheap to me pl0x.

I mean your BF4.

Nice. Do you have Assetto Corsa to test? Wanted to see how 290 handle it at max settings. My overclocked 7950 only managed to get 35-ish fps, and that's only with 1 car on the track.

290@1150mhz can do alot more than that imo.
Did you increase PowerTune?

Not "too low" but if i recall correctly, 290@1100+ usually get 12k-13k GPU score.
Maybe i didn't realised i looked at 290x scores.

You can find BSOD dump file in "C:\Windows\minidump\"




Try this removing method from me.

1. Download and install DriverFusion from here + Windows Installer Cleanup Utility from here. Although Cleanup Utility is an old software, it still work in Win8.

2. Remove all AMD software thru Control Panel. Do not reboot.


3. Run Windows Installer Cleanup and find any entry of AMD or Catalyst or CCC. Click Remove. Please don't screw up when selecting them. Do not reboot.


4. Now run DriverFusion, select AMD Display and click Delete. Reboot your system.
.

5. Now try install your driver.

P/S: If you already done step 1 and you didn't find anything in step 2, simply proceed to step 3.

You might want to select remove Nvidia display driver in DriverFusion too since your previous card was GTX560Ti.

Anyone love downsampling? Downsampling is still working even with AMD latest driver. Also thanks to the guy at Guru3D that help me getting a working custom monitor driver.
Running these @2720x1530 with my 1080p Dell S2340L monitor.

Warning huge images.





Now i really need a 290.. or 2 in case for Assetto Corsa.



Sauce: Downsampling

Yeah that is enough, both of them will consume 500w-550w max anyway.

Nice work bro. A small request from me.. can you benchmark using Guru3D graphic setting for BioShock Infinite and Metro LL @1440p?

Cool, thank you very much.
