AMD R9 290 (Non-X, Pro, etc) Owners Club

Getting black screen very regular on 14.4 stock clocks on my tri-x, watching Netflix last night and got 4 in a one film.
Just Hope its the drivers
 
Just changed the stock fans, 2x140 intake at front and 1x140 at the rear, in my Corsair Air 540 for 3 Corsair AF120 performace high air flow at the front and 1 at the rear.

The reason I mention this is now I have a complete case height air intake the flow goes over the 290 a lot better and, even though this is too early to tell for sure, my GPU temp was in the 63 degree range and not high 60's low 70's as it usually is when gaming.

As I said too early to tell if this is going to be a consistent drop but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
 
Sounds like the card is not stable with its out of the box overclocks to me. Try putting the vram back to 1250 and see if it still does it. However im wondering if this is core related as if it was memory related you'd have to restart to get control back.

Well it didn't fix my problem, just got a blackscreen 5 minutes in :(

Time to try my suggestion. :)

I've never had a driver version cause a black screen.
 
Their far and few between though. You don't hear about it that often. AMD issues I see everyday. Why is that mat?

1749 pages of different driver issues in that link Retro. Going by your assumption it appears that Nvidia drivers have more issues. Of course im not daft enough to believe that only one side has issues and the other is perfect. Now really, if you're just here to troll rather than help, don't bother and save yourself the infraction.

I knew you would have a come back. Cheers:)
 
Just turned my pc on and it's idling at 42C. The core clock is stuck in 3D mode :confused: Bizarre.

Just tried single card and crossfire, stock and overclocked (both core and mem) and benched Valley on each setting and every time the card went back to the correct 2D clocks, on 14.4 WHQL.
 
14.3
I'll check it again when i finish work.

Use the new drivers. I had my core get locked in 2D mode on 14.3 as well. It was after a crash/black screen due to unstable overclocking. I tested 14.4 and it does not happen any more.
