Somewhat ironically, the first 290 WHQL has caused me issues.
It seems if I had a reference card, throttling would be "solved" as it doesn't go above 516MHZ on the core.

As long as the driver works fine, ignore it. Have you used a driver sweeper tool without first uninstalling the driver the normal way? Because ive had this happen before after doing that. The driver install fine, but it reports an error. The error us usual harmless and can just be ignored. The only solution i found was a system restore till before you used the driver sweeper or a OS reinstall. If you've not used such a tool, then no idea. :p

TL : DR

If you use a driver sweeper uninstall the driver first normally, restart into safe mode then use the sweeper.

In my experience the most reliable and safest sweeper tool to use is DDU. I wouldn't use any of the others and that includes AMD's own tool.
