I have the "Antec High Current Pro 1200W Modular '80 Plus Gold' Power Supply", which i think has all the pc-ie power all on separate rails etc As i say, i've had SLI 580s happily for a long time. I can switch em over i guess, i'm happy to try anything.

dumb suggestion do your screens go to power save mode after x minutes?
if they do try set power mode to never shut off.-
I try anything when I encounter such

So my card is all setup now running stock...


OB2F7Pfl.jpg.png


Played a quick 30 min game of BF4 Ultra @ stock clocks, not sure on the actual FPS but it was smooth as butter.


Temperatures were:

idle: 37oC
Highest @ 100% GPU usage: 47oC

Not bad, although as I said I'm running stock speeds at the moment and very much intend on pushing the card a fair bit yet, I think I'll leave it at stock for a week or so, let it get it's legs going before I set it off sprinting.

I was wondering, it's been an awful long time since I had an ATI/AMD card, are there any particular settings in the control panel I should pay attention to/stay away from? Also when I am looking to overclock, any useful/need to know tips I should be aware of :D

I'm having problems with my card, anyone got any ideas? I can't boot using display port I get error 62 on my rampage iv formula and no boot. If I use HDMI connection then I can boot without any problem. If I then swap to display port everything is OK until I switch off and I don't get a boot again when I power back on. If I force the monitor over the DP connection to 60Hz it boots sometimes, leave it at 120Hz and nothing.

I'm totally at a loss, tried updating my BIOS, no overclock, latest AMD drivers and none of that has made a difference. Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks

I think I need to repeat what I asked earlier:

**HAS ANYONE HAD BLACKSCREENS WITH HYNIX Memory modules, yet?** (when NOT using CCC to overclock the MEMORY clocks).
So far 100% of the feedback about NON overdrive memory overclock caused black screens have been from Elpida.
