Yes, usually happened when the FPS reach over 90001000. Most of the time happened at loading screen/menu. 3DMark13 Ice Storm test also will generate more than 1000 fps on mid range desktop GPU.

limited the fps via riva tuner, its okay for now, still got some buzzing sound on the card when full load, still on acceptable level, my previous asus dcu2 680 and current 780 lightning had 0 issue on these need to tune best setting for this card

its freaks me out at first, almost like a steam machine inside the system

but after investigation by my own...... i found it got 2 ways.. one well like you always happen same as youtube show
the 2nd one from over stress choke.. plus it more wiredo sound like beep-beep error ... ...previous i found on GTX 780 and* R9 290x
well 1st i think normal.. but.. since it borther me about 3 day cant get full sleep becoz think of it.... crank up the card.. do some testing...

*bedah 290x
put some sensor on critical part
vrm 1st .. 2nd vrm .. choke ... and back side mid core gpu pcb


found when temp choke reach up 9xc the sound it come out like ghost.. do more testing... push more .. i not sure it hit what.. mybe** 119c kot... artifact say helo

*since that time i watching temp of vrm.. scare like hell .... it reach up almost.. 98c.... dem... few minute later... tataaaraaaaaaaaaaaaa BLANK SCREEN come out...

hmmm, done some tweaking on the r9-290, l cant seem to make constant boosting at a fixed clock speed, it goes up and down all the way, l'm missing anything?

I thought you bought 280x.

l screw the coil whine 280x with feiton and change it into gigabyte 290 windforce

you also got the coil whine? mine crash when doing the benchmark(straight bsod), they said my psu got not enough juice(which i don't blame them if it's true) but tested again with 1000w power unit same thing happened again , tested other batch also got problem in the end had to settle with 770 . I was tempted to get the R9-290 (unigine heaven benchmark was great) but don't have enough money that time to buy a more powerful psu

yar the power color 280x which they promo it at rm799, l must say, its somehow quite jerky the GPU, l'm happy with this 290, identically with my 780, only issue is l cant get it boost on fix clock

wow by reading thing on here alot ppl having issues with Powercolor R9 280X Duo... hmm

Lucky me i didn't have money at that time..

Amboi..wishlistnye..

Hi all,

I'm using Powercolor PCS+ R9 290 4GB GDDR5 at end of April 2014. This card giving me a nightmare...It is frequently black screen and pop up driver crashed and recovered message. Tried many suggestions from google but no luck...I have tried 14.100.0.0 (stable) and 14.200.0.0 (beta) drivers still facing the same problem. Anyone experience the same? Hope can share me some guide. Thanks.

Here are my pc specs:
CPU: XEON E3 1230 V3
Mobo:Asrock B85-Killer
RAM:Corsair 8GB x 2 DDR3 1600MHz
HDD:WD Caviar Blue 1TB
SSD:Intel 530 Series 240GB
GPU: Powercolor PCS+ R9 290 4GB GDDR5
Chassis: NZXT Phantom 410 Gunmetal Black
PSU:Seasonic S12II 80+ Bronze 620W

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Driver: 14.100.0.0


Thank you.

Send back to the shop u bought the card to claim for warranty

By any chance a few of those BSOD occurrences happen when you're using Flash? Youtube etc.

I will try format and install windows 8.1. If failed again will request dealer to change.


What is BSOD? Sometimes when I use Firefox browser will crash too...

Well,what is your CPU and PSU?Cause around 600-700,can get you Sapphire R9 270 Dual-X RM629 or R9 270X Dual-X RM699..

R9 270X and GTX760 lock heads together

R9 270 is inferior to GTX760

Go with the Sapphire R9 270X Dual-X.Should be no problem.

I had the card tested on my rig using the 1000W psu(SF Leadex) . And it ran fine in Unigine Heaven. I assume you bought it from feiton coz they're the only supplier here who sells PowerColor product. If possible bring your rig there and let them test it out. Before going download Unigine Heaven and install it in our pc. Later ask them to run it when testing the gpu.

go with the gtx 760, a bit better card for the money in my book. Performance wise, faster than the hd 7870/R9-270X
