BF4 red screen

I seen this once when trying to use Mantle with the Crossfire 280Xs, DX was fine.

I resorted to doing a fresh reinstall.

You're using 14.1 drivers. Honestly, they're better drivers to use instead of those, which are a few months old now. Uninstall those drivers and then download and install 14.4 Beta drivers. Set powertune at +50% and then do some proper testing with your gpu's at stock clocks to rule out issues.

Regarding Valley reporting wrong speeds, thats normal so ignore.

robertchalmers1 · 14 Apr 2014 at 19:08

as you can see its reporting 14.4 yet valley says otherwise do you think i possibly may have driver conflicts???

Furry muff. Upon checking my version it shows the same as yours. Just Unigine making it look like 14.1 it seems.

Well run a test and see if you get another red screen.

Do use MSI Afterburner? If you do you can disable ULPS if you wish (its not essential) this can sometimes gain you a little (a couple of %) extra performance. THe only downside is the second gpu does not completely turn off at idle, so it will sit in 2d clock mode when not in use. Copy these afterburner settings if you want to try it. Especially the Disable ULPS option and Enable Unified Gpu Usage Monitoring.

Make sure you're using the latest version of MSI Afterburner, which is Beta 19 as well.

Disable ULPS. I had my settings wrong Lol. I will update the pic now. I've been keeping ULPS on for a while now as i like the idea of the second gpu drawing 0 watts.

EDIT

This is how it should look if you want ULPS off.

Show me your afterburner screenshot please? What gpu's do you have?

robertchalmers1 · 14 Apr 2014 at 19:52

stulid · 14 Apr 2014 at 19:52

Its the game, it is not your system.

DICE...breaking games since the Jurassic period.

Hmm im not familiar with what uncore is to be honest as im still on sandy bridge. Can you run your cpu at stock along with the memory etc and see if it still happens then. My Haswell knowledge is limited as ive never used it.

robertchalmers1 · 14 Apr 2014 at 19:53

i have the r9 280x

i hope it is the game saying that i dont think ive ever had this problem with any other games ive played. not played many but games so far are tomb raider 2013, NFSMW, PES2014, crysis 2 FC3 and a few other ones the kids play

LtMatt · 14 Apr 2014 at 19:55

I'm confused by your afterburner screenshot. It says R9 290 but it looks like you have a Tahiti card judging by the +20% in afterburner and the voltage control now showing as offset like mine does.

LtMatt · 14 Apr 2014 at 19:56

Ah ok, that makes sense.

Is your gpu at stock clocks, along with voltage?

+20% is normal for your cards. Sorry i was under impression you had 290 cards.

i was going to suggest running everything stock when you 1st mentioned that it may be unstable overclock i shall try that in 10 mins
