Hi guys its been a while.
I RMA`d the card and the retailer found absolutely nothing wrong with it.I got it back and tested with the latest drivers but the issues I was having persisted. I tried with 18.11.1 from August 2018 and Im happy to report that I havent encountered any problems and am getting great performance.Thanks everyone with your advice and insights it was very much appreciated.

Insurgency Sandstorm, overwatch, the division to name a few. I also play a bit in VR.

CrossFire requires 2x 8x PCI-E lanes to function. Pretty sure B350 boards have one one compatible lane, so no.

I knew that b350 was bite me in the ass, boards were so hard to get a hold of when the ryzens were released. :(

The last crossfire setup I had were 2 R9-290x's. Some games worked great but most didn't. That doesn't necessarily mean crossfire didn't work, but it produced issues that made me turn it off anyway.

I've not bothered since so can't comment on newer titles.

I had x-fire 6850's back in the day and when it worked it was brilliant. Then I bought watchdogs and it went to S*** sold them both and bought a 280. I just have the Vega lying around doing nothing, would have been fun to try a bit of x-fire.

Again it's one of those 'if it works it's brilliant' scenario's. Amusingly I think the way tech is heading there's going to be a resurgence in dual GPU's and probably in preparation for chiplet designs. So could be quite an interesting few years in the Crossfire/SLI area too.

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your Vega 64.

Im after trying so many drivers and I'm constantly getting crashes in every game.

Event viewer says driver stopped responding and recovered successfully. Any body have similar issues and get it fixed?
 
any recommendations on a PSU under £100?

Currently have a Red Devil i got from a trustworthy forum member but the coil whine is extreme with both Cooler Master m2 Silent Pro (silver) and also a XFX core 750 (bronze) and i believe him that it didn't coil whine in his possession. Im losing the will to live its that loud :P

The Kolink Psu's are good if you're looking for cheapness, they are sold on overclockers plus they are Hungarian so if they are anything like their women they will be spot on

Don't skimp on a PSU.

I'm getting "Display driver amdkmdap stopped responding and has successfully recovered." regularly now. Not quite sure what the issue is.

It means our display driver is crashing. Could be caused by hardware or software, you'll need to debug it to find the cause.

Have you tried uninstalling with DDU and installing a non beta driver?

Yes many times. I did move the card to a different PCIE slot and got over 2 hours playing Subnautica with no crash. Then it crashed :/

stoke1863 said:
I've ordered a Seasonic focus 850 gold (there reported issues were fixed last year)

Really hope this removed the coil whine.

Wouldnt hold my breath. I went from a BeQuiet Powerzone 650w to Focus plus gold 850W and coilwhine remained same.

Nope :( didn't make a difference, would OCUK RMA this? It's still in warranty but obviously I'm not the original owner.

It's so annoying as I trust the person and they say the card did not coil whine with there set up.

Maybe motherboard related ?

I'm running mine with a full cover water block since release so maybe that's why I can hear coilwhine. I know when you have the original cooler on it masks the whine somewhat.

What actual coil whine characteristicscare we talking about here?
A low freq buzzing or a high pitched scream during high fps, like menu's?
It is more than likely it always had it, nothing to do with the motherboard, if you've connected 2 individual 8 pin power connectors to it and it still does it over 3x psu's then what does it tell you? The only thing is if you undervolt it or cap the fps it may help tame it a little.

I have tested my v64 reference on 4 different psu's a ******** 650w which it is currently plugged into, a friends Superflower 750 or 850, my kolink continum 1200w, and my coolermaster masterwatt lite 700.
NO difference. It's an inherent fault in the inductors and the current draw, but manufacturers will try claim coil whine is perfectly acceptable.
