    Prime95 fails on non-overclocked specs

    Bear in mind that when you increase the FSB value the CPU isn't the only component you are overclocking, for a start you are also overclocking the RAM and may need to select another divider value to maintain stability. The FX-8350 is a Black Edition processor with an unlocked multiplier have you...

    What 1440p monitor

    My CHG70 has been relegated to being a secondary display (primary is now an LG 27G850-B). In the right circumstances it can look pretty good but what lets it down is an absolutely horrific freesync implementation that no amount of firmware upgrades will fix (using version 1023 from Samsung Korea...

    The AMD Driver Thread

    Sounds similar to a problem I've had. Check the Video Encode graph in Task Manager under GPU - does it spike every couple of seconds when you enable recording? Do you have more than 2 audio channels and/or a creative sound card? Instant Replay would fail to start for me when using >2 channel...

    The RX Vega 56 Owners Thread

    Think I'll give up trying to use ReLive Instant Replay with my Vega 56, even once you get past the issue where it won't start with a certain number of sound channels I get regular black screen crashes when using the feature. Doesn't happen when I use the Windows game bar for replay recording but...

    @SpudMaster Fantastic. Thanks for checking, looks like it's a problem that's easy to replicate at least!

    The AMD Driver Thread

    Got a weird problem with ReLive here (at least on versions 20.4.1 and 20.4.2 - hadn't used the feature in a while). ReLive Recording and Instant Replay refuse to work (starts then immediately stops) when I enable 5.1 speakers or 7.1 headphones on my Creative AE-5 Sound Card. ReLive Streaming...

    The AMD Driver Thread

    I've been getting this too. Looks like we have pretty similar systems. Primary monitor is a 27" Samsung CHG70. They had this under fixed issues for 19.10.1 "Some displays may intermittently flash black when Radeon FreeSync is enabled and the system is at idle or on desktop." - I'm using 19.10.1...

    New card not playing nice with existing monitors

    Could be that it is a single link DVI adapter which does not offer the bandwidth required at 2560x1440 60Hz - you need dual link for that resolution. Have you tried lower resolutions like 1920x1080 @60? Obviously no good as you want native resolution, but if a lower resolution works then it is...

    New card not playing nice with existing monitors

    Which specific DP-DVI and DP-HDMI adapters did you buy, and what monitors (make, model) do you have? Also check the specs section for the problematic monitor in Radeon Settings (Display > Specs) e.g: It might reveal that it isn't being detected properly for some reason. There might be a...

    The RX Vega 64 Owners Thread

    I had this problem with my Vega 56. Seems to be an issue with Windows grabbing an ancient (2017) driver from Windows Update after the installer has removed the existing driver. Disabling the network adapter or unplugging the cable prevents Windows from being able to do this.

    AMD CCC refuses to open

    The Windows Event Log might show why it is crashing. Start > eventvwr.msc Expand Windows Logs and select the Application log Select "Filter Current Log" and select "Critical" "Error" and "Warning" events. The application crash may be recorded in an Application Error event (ID 1000) and it...

    The AMD Driver Thread

    I've installed 18.12.2 again seeing as many people don't appear to have stability problems and wanted to see what the Freesync2 HDR10 Tone Mapping was like. I think Shadow of the Tomb Raider looks better but it could be placebo. I daren't touch WattMan though!

    The AMD Driver Thread

    I've abandoned this release and have returned to 18.12.1 now. I think Wattman in 18.12.2 is playing up causing weird artifacts, despite resetting to default - I resumed from sleep to see a garbled mess. Suffice to say I'm going to leave it a while. I again had to go through the safe mode...

    The AMD Driver Thread

    I tend to agree with this. However, I was getting desperate with my PC refusing to display anything within about a minute of logging in! Thankfully I don't think there's any ill effects this time.

    The AMD Driver Thread

    Pleased to say I finally fixed the above with a combination of DDU in safe mode, removing the network cable, re-installing the AMD chipset drivers, rebooting and then installing 18.12.2. Phew!

    The AMD Driver Thread

    Well for the first time ever I'm going to have to use DDU as a last resort. Started the driver upgrade, screen went blank, stayed blank and went into power save mode. Had to repeatedly reset the PC to get into safe mode (why on earth they removed F8 key option I don't know). From safe mode...

    Red Devil Vega 64 LED. Whats it telling me?

    The LEDs represent GPU load, more should light up when you play a game.

    1030 better than 650?

    If you end up getting a 1030 be aware there is a DDR4 version which has crippled memory bandwidth and is slower than the GDDR5 version, sometimes by a huge margin.

    The AMD Driver Thread

    Thanks for the advice, the high temps and associated fan noise have become quite annoying so I'll give that a go. If I break it I'll have an excuse to buy something new I guess! There's not many video benchmarks showing night time performance but this one definitely shows a frame time kink and...

    Thanks, believe me 75c is nothing for this card though, I think the paste has had it or something. A couple of years ago I changed from a Coolermaster CM690 to a Fractal Design R5 with 2x 140mm intake fans blowing its way, which made a massive difference. Unfortunately, playing something like...
