I have a Sapphire Radeon R9 280X Toxic OC graphics card, purchased from Overclockers UK on 16th January 2014. For the past 5 weeks my graphics have been far from perfect, pixilation, fragmentation.
It matters not if its desktop, Word or Paintshop Pro, but more exaggerated in games. BF2 or Grid Autosport just to name a couple its gets extreme.
In last couple of weeks I have had a few BSOD, which at a glimpse related to graphics. I have uninstalled drivers and all related to AMD, reverted back three versions of driver and now I am using the next to last Beta version 14.2. But to no avail still the majority of gaming is wasted time and effort.
In Windows Action Centre I have the following: AMD-Display-Adaptor-ATI Radeon Graphics Card has stopped working 2 times last occurring 21/7/2014
20.47.
The above is the second message indicating graphics. which me suggests the card is faulty/on the way out.
I have read in the forum another similar issue occurred and the card was replaced. Other sources (other than reviews) from users, are none to favourable of these cards.
Below is a video and stills showing the issues. Its only seconds not minutes.
Is this a phone call for an RMA? One thing is certain I cannot put up with this.
I am using Windows 7 Professional 64Bit. Intel i7 2600 CPU, 8 Gig ram, SSD drives and 1000 w PSU.
