R9 290X Owners Thread

Ah great to hear. Spread the word my man. Gpu-z needs an update. It doesn't even report the right values for the 290X.



Zed read this post above. The guy did what i said and he also uninstalled gpu-z and the issue is gone. Worth a shot mate. Also could be a problem with the Sapphire bios. Can always try flashing the asus one. You know where my bios flash guide is if you need it. :)



Good old Frosty knows what hes doing. :D

Did flashing the asus bios on a sapphire change anything about the memory overclocking causing either flickers or crashes/black screens on the desktop ? (usually if you overclock the memory in the CCC, and then *reboot* the computer).
 
I have an Asus card and was getting desktop distortion and crashing when overclocking the memory. I just upped the voltage .5mv and it seemed to settle down lol. AMD <3

Using GPUTweak btw.

Unwillingly
