AMD Radeon R9 295X2 Owners Thread

[Gibbo]

Yeah the guy on the phone said the same, and I was kind of surprised, tbh.

There is zero video output from the card basically. Nothing at all. The card powers up fine, all lights and fans running. The system boots up fine, no errors on the motherboard, windows boots up and I can work fine using video from the motherboard's on board DVI port. I've tried multiple DVI cables and HDMI cables, multiple displays, reseating the card in different PCI-E slots, changing the cables from the PSU to the GPU, checking separate rails are being used for each power connector. I even upgraded the system bios. I was running 2 x r9 290x cards fine off exactly the same rig.

PSU is Corsair HX1000W
Mobo is Asus Maximus Ranger vii


bizarre :s

Likely PSU.
Send it us back, if it works we will send it you back FREE of charge with no test or shipping fee's just point the RMA adviser to my post here.

But you will need to buy one of our lovely shiny Superflower PSU's to make it work.

If the card isn't faulty I will gladly purchase your shiny psu

 

[humbug]

Did you read the link I posted last night with someone else who had issues with HX1000W and 295X2?

I wouldn't be surprised if it is PSU issue and not graphic card.

Take out one of the 8 Pin connectors and use a different one.

The idea being; splinting the rails, if its a 1000 Watt PSU with 2 rails it will have something like 42 Amps on each rail, if you hock up the GPU to one Rail thats all you will get.

so try to find the other Rail to give it 2x 42 Amps instead of 1x.

This MIGHT work.

Thanks for the reply. Already tried that, having checked the manufacturer spec for the rail configurations. I've also tried multiple modular cables, as that's caught me out in the past. I'm pretty much out of ideas for testing now, but I'll go through the troubleshooting process again tonight just to be sure. It's such a sturdy bit of kit, it seems unlikely to be a GPU card, but I'm no stranger to obscure hardware and software issues so never say never!

I have a Corsair 700W (6 years old as old as the HX1000W ) and one rail goes to the motherboard plus one power cable, the other rail supplies the rest of the cables according to the PSU information.

Hence is always tricky to find out which is what when I wanted to power the SLI 560s and the 7950s CF, making it a puzzle every time to sort out the power distribution.

I am not surprised if the Corsair 1000W has the same configuration.

Hence I bought a superflower along with the 295X2.

 

[VincentHanna]

Me too.

I didn't even know it had white LED's, sad as it is that looked quite funky.

I've checked the power distribution, and there are 8 pin connectors on the individual rails. As both built in and modular connectors are split between the rails, I'll go through the entire sequence to make sure I haven't missed out a working configuration.

If I do end up buying a Superflower, what model is recommended for this monster of a GPU?

Guys

6pm is cut off for this price, even if there is 1-2 left! Get in quick!

 

[Uncle Petey]

C'mon Gibbo, you don't need to resort to those hard sell pressure tactics to shift the last two surely?

C'mon Gibbo, you don't need to resort to those hard sell pressure tactics to shift the last two surely?

They are gone!

Sapphire seeing if they can secure the last 54pc in the world for us to continue selling at £729.99 won't know until tomorrow.

Prince increase is due to weakening exchange rates, GBP is going crazy weak against USD this week.

Since last two weeks the effect exchange rates means all re-buys are now 6% higher than they were two weeks ago, that is crazy!

This is why I get all my kit here regardless of price. Top, top man.

Yeah it's pretty damn impressive customer service. THAT's how you ensure customer loyalty!

Yes make lots of noise, because for AMD to make any noise in coming weeks it will be harder as all the news, press and reviews will be on NVIDIA's latest toys.

Is there no way to change voltage or make a custom fan profile?

 

[Panos]

My PC decided that Christmas should come early this year, and put the lights up already........

Usually people ask "will this card going to fit into my case?". Pfff mere mortals

For me the question was "damn will his PSU will fit into my case?????"

What's wrong with this picture? Slight blip in GPU-Z when running Unigine 4.0 and yet the temperature was fine

I'm having a problem with my card - running a OCZ 1000w ZX series - no idea on what rail is what, how do I check?

I'm getting random power offs. Help?

Received mine today!
