How many games was that ?

Have only tried the witcher so far, will try some more later.

I thought as much.

Maybe just maybe AMD might (might) release a whql driver when the 300 series launches.

Same problem in GTAV too

Though there was a game update to stop the artifacting for Xfire setups when using MSAA? Still getting the artifacts in the bottom right hand corner.

I've gone back to Win10 drivers from Windows Update. It kept getting stuck in boost clocks and Sapphire Trixx wouldn't set voltage for some reason.

thebennyboy · 14 Jun 2015 at 03:22

Well i found out what was causing my card to get so stupidly hot. For some reason Trixx wasn't setting the voltage correctly on my first card causing the card to go to it's default voltage of 1.256. :eek:

It's now happily sat at 1.168v which means it is not MUCH cooler under load.

TBH, I could do with dropping the temp of my msi 290 twin frzr 3 card by a bit! Any ideas what I should set first?

Geeman1979 · 14 Jun 2015 at 09:28

Core voltage. More aggressive fan profile.

Bonjour · 14 Jun 2015 at 09:29

Drop your core voltage to -25. Up your power limit to +25.

Geeman1979 · 14 Jun 2015 at 09:30

Don't drop the voltage too far as it will black screen soon as it hits desktop.

Bonjour · 14 Jun 2015 at 09:33

At stock, -25 should be ok. If not, up it a little. You should at the very least get away with -12 at stock clocks.

Check the ASIC rating of the GPU. Higher ASICs should be stable on lower volts.

Good luck AMDmatt, here's hoping the Lt makes a return.

I'd take AMD's beta stability over Nvidias WHQL's TDR's/game freeze/black screens in a heartbeat.

WHQL means squat when it's this poor.

Thanks for the advice! I will try -15 and see how that goes, will there be a worthwhile drop in temps?

This is my ASIC quality:

Bonjour · 14 Jun 2015 at 10:28

That is a great ASIC rating, suggesting decent power efficiency of the card components.

You should be able to go -25 at least. Temperatures should also drop a few degrees.

Also remember to up the Power Limit to +25, which appears to help with black screen issues.

TonyTurbo78 · 14 Jun 2015 at 10:30

thats probably the highest Asic quality I've ever seen mate. Both mine are down in the low 60% region, hence why i need 1.200v to get my overclocks stable.

Get on GTA V you scrub.

Nexus18 · 14 Jun 2015 at 10:42

Oh nice, seems I got a good 290 then

Thanks for the advice again, I will jump on for some GTA 5 now, monitor temps, then try those settings and jump back on and see what the new temps are like, shall report back soon!

If only nvidia could fix them, just got a new TWIMTBP game, launch it and get:

Getting tiresome now

, consoles are starting to look viable. :eek:
