does anyone have any idea why my memory wont throttle down on Desktop on GPU1? My core clocks on both cards throttle down as intended, as does the mem clock on GPU2, but on GPU1 it seems to stay at top whack.

@TonyTurbo78 Are you running any monitors in addition to your 27" BenQ? Memory staying at full clock speed is normal behaviour with multiple monitors (though it may depend on whether the screens use differing timing or connections).

I've got my TV hooked up as second screen via HDMI, but it's not turned on, it's literally just connected for when we watch a movie through the PC.

Even if it's not on the pc will still be outputting a picture to it.
If you have second monitor setup, and you only use TV now and then I recommend setting to output only to monitor and then when you want to use TV switch to that display, instead having the both running in multi monitor thingy

Try unplugging the HDMI cable and see if your memory clocks return to normal. If not, try setting your screen refresh rate from 144Hz to 120Hz or 60Hz to narrow down what's stopping your memory downclocking.

cheers guys, will give that a go in the morning, will report back.

Hi, Im getting black lines occasionally flashing horizontally across my screens in windows after I updated to the Doom drivers. 16.5.2.1

I didnt notice any issues in Doom itself. Seems to be only occasionally and only in windows.

p5ychonaut · 31 May 2016 at 23:23

I get the same thing, and it persists in 16.5.3, though somehow it doesn't seem to be quite as bad as in 16.5.2.1. The black lines seem to flash up whenever video content starts in a web page.

Yes exactly this. Not the end of the world but not ideal. I didn't know 16.5.3 was available ? Wish the AMD software was better at giving alerts to new driver availability. I wouldn't have even known to get the doom drivers if I hadn't read about it here.

p5ychonaut · 31 May 2016 at 23:33

Yes, its tolerable but I hope they fix it soon. I've reported it using the form, and I'm seeing others with the issue on other forums.

update on the sticking memory clock guys.

Still the same, just can't get the memory clock on GPU1 to lower when on Desktop and doing nothing. I've tried re-enabling ULPS both in MSIAB and via regedit. I've also unplugged the HDMI to TV and lowered my display to 120hz and 60hz. I've redone drivers (even though I was getting this on previous versions).

Anything else I can try?

I've only noticed this is chrome and usually when I'm using a image-pop up extension for Reddit

Mei · 2 Jun 2016 at 16:31

senpai matt they know this bug?

I seem to get random black flicker from time to time when running at 1440p 144hz on desktop. Is this a known thing ? tried the 3 last drivers..

p5ychonaut · 2 Jun 2016 at 18:00

Just been experimenting with the horizontal line flicker issue with online videos.

I have 2 displays. (Dell U2414H connected via DP1.2, and BenQ G2420HD connected via HDMI).

-Both displays connected and the HDMI display set to Full RGB 4:4:4 or Limited RGB 4:4:4:

Desktop Idle Video Memory Clock: 1500MHz
Black horizontal line flashes every time a video starts playing on a web page.

-If I disable one display:

Desktop Idle Memory Clock: 150MHz
No Flicker

-Both displays connected and the HDMI display set to YCbCr 4:2:2 or YCbCr 4:4:4:

Desktop Idle Memory Clock: 150MHz
No Flicker

TonyTurbo78 · 3 Jun 2016 at 13:04

The Division Crossfire performance is somewhat better now, no flickering at all and pretty good scaling on the cards. Stays pretty much at a solid 60fps whilst outside, and inside up to 90fps on average now- that's with every setting maxed out at 1440p, quite happy, might start playing it again.

Check out the OSD.

I had intermittent flickering on the desktop a few month ago when using DP with my 390X. Turned out to be a faulty GPU - RMA repalcement has not flickered even once, on the desktop or in-game.
