QUOTE(kerolzarmyfanboy @ Jul 17 2015, 01:00 AM) how to check vrm temp? asus gpu tweak and HWmonitor doesn't seem to show that at default clockspeed and when playing AAA games like GTA 5, Shadow of Mordor, Witcher 3, artifacts sometimes occur but not frequent and it's usually on the lower right of my screen but graphic glitches always occur..plus sometimes flickering.. only able to minimize those problems when downclocking the GPU to 1250MHz-1450MHz..  so regret buying this gpu, i was under the illusion it perform on par with GTX770 but cost less..I didn't research further about it's problems beforehand..  u can use gpu z to check the vrm temps, u can do so by checking the log file, direct cu 2 cools the vrm very well i guess, im sure that the card is factory oc'ed but lack of voltage supply u might need to increase the power limit (use msi afterburner) or u can just downclock the gpu core and memory speed to default reference speed of a r9 280x, if its still the same at lower clocks also then RMA is your last bet.

QUOTE(Human10 @ Jul 25 2015, 11:13 PM) Do try swap the top and bottom configurations between the two cards. Aim for the one with less discrepancy between two cards. i dont get it bro what u mean less discrepancy between two cards? |

QUOTE(Najmods @ Jul 25 2015, 11:26 PM) Put a better cooled card as primary as it usually the first card that loads more than second card. It also depends on your case airflow. ooh i get it just swapped the better cooler as primary now ready for testing again, waterblock hell no way im spending more |

QUOTE(Human10 @ Jul 26 2015, 08:35 AM) Glad you got my point. During my SLI experience last time, the bottom card will be hotter. If I run better cooling card at top, it will be 6x Celsius while the bottom card at 8x. If I swap them, both at 7x, more sensible to run in long run. thanks again bro and now most games are 60 fps constant, shadow of mordor buttery smooth |

QUOTE(Acid_RuleZz @ Jul 27 2015, 02:39 PM) Only in synthetics benchmark bro, many games i played don't even utilize over 3 cores. If you can try disable half of the modules if you board allow and overclock the hell out of the CPU. max i can go stable is 4.4ghz that also prime95 will start show error after half hour, one of the cores sure kantoi 1, i up the voltage/reduce fsb still no difference, i also managed to go all the way up to 4.6ghz no BSOD whatsoever half hour same prime95 kantoi but 3dmark no issues never crash/bsod or whatsoever. can i just ignore prime95 results? 3dmark does not utilize all cores ka bro? |

ExtremeHD preset » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « If i'm not mistaken, 15.200.1046.2 is the default Window 10 out of the box driver. Catalyst 15.7.1 should be 15.200.1062 which you need to download from AMD website.  bro i have a funny question the recent r9 290 that i bought is a asus btw why is the unified shaders is same as r9 290x ?  and the bus width is lower 
this is my tri- x from gpu z 
is something wrong with gpu z |

QUOTE(Acid_RuleZz @ Aug 3 2015, 09:17 PM) Try disable ULPS and reboot. Maybe you bought 290x bro. QUOTE(JohnLai @ Aug 3 2015, 09:39 PM) Maybe he bought a second hand gpu without knowing it. The first buyer probably flashes the vbios to unlock 290 to 290x. yeah its 2nd hand could be he flashed to 290x , is there any issues that can happen like instabilities ? |
