Guys,
I have an important update for you regarding random installation hangs, BSODs and CCC crashes some of you have experienced after installing this version of our driver. We are aware of these issues and will be posting an updated driver as soon as it becomes available. Please read this article for more information: “Intermittent Installation Issues With the AMD Catalyst™ 14.9 Driver”.

Yay, can't wait!! Can you tell me if the update will sort out the issue in Windows 10 as well? As the shipped driver seems to have the black screen issue too.

I want to update to 14.9 but i can't be arsed with going through the hassle of setting up eyefinity again
14.9 drivers, 290, mantle and my new 3930k working wonders in bf4. Temps must be done be down as the fans are much quieter.
I've uncapped the frame rate and I seem to be getting less CPU spiking. Is there an update to mantle in this release matt? Or do you know if dice have done any work on bf4?
If not do you know if they plan to? I can't imagine they'll be doing too much patching after final stand is out but they need to sort it out for the 285s right??

ok guys i have a problem lol
not sure if this has been said before but, when the monitor goes to sleep mode the fans on the 290 do not stop spinning they keep going forever, with the old driver they used to stop spinning, rather annoying as i leave my pc on night time and i have a custom fan profile set in afterburner, burrrrrrrrrrrrr
Sorry OvEr_KiLL, missed your post. Been really busy recently.
Are you using the MSI Gaming APP, because I've never heard of this feature for AMD single card users.
Great to hear Dave, appreciate the feedback.
I'm not sure what changes Dice are making to Mantle in BF4, i will try to find out and get back to you with an update.

Do you use DDU? if you just un-install by control panel your settings should remain after new driver install.
I only loose my settings if I DDU.
I wonder if that is a feature specific to the MSI card you have, as I've never heard of that feature for single card AMD users. (aside from the Vapour X card i believe)
I don't think so, that's just the pci-e lane downclocking itself to save some power. Honestly I'm not too sure on this one. It's normal in crossfire for the second card to turn off (including fans) completely while the pc is in 2d mode, but I've never heard of such a feature of the MSI 290 OC card.
matt can you look into it for me please man. yeh im running just the single card it definately used to turn the fans off as i have even looked at it myself when the pc was in sleep mode and they wernt moving at all
edit. this has happend before when i had some weird spyware, but i removed it with combofix, i ran combofix the other day to check and it didnt do anything, so i will run combofix again later and see if it fixes it

Of course. So just to be clear, the issue is when you put your pc into sleep mode the gpu fans keep spinning?
no lol, when the screen goes in sleep mode, the screen power light turns from green to orange and screen goes off the fans on the gpu should stop spinning,
only screen in sleep mode not the pc.
edit. will try combofix later, il let you know if it fixes it

Got it. Ok i will report that issue. As far as I'm aware though, it's normal for the gpu fans to remain spinning in this state when using a single card.
Can you attach to your next post a DXDIAG report please. Use Sendspace to upload it. Thanks.
yeh will do later man, il post the link for ya
if its normal matt for the fans to keep spinning how come its never done it before then since i got it when they came out?
with the exception of mining spyware as i said before..yeh will do later man, il post the link for ya

I could be wrong, will let you know once I've reported it and got some feedback. Will check back later for your DXDIAG.
here you go sir
