Why is AMD quiet about black screens on 290x?

Hi guys,

Just got a MSI R290 and I'm getting these black screen issues.

I have tried latest beta drivers (9.5) and other previous drivers and still no joy....i thought this had been fixed?

Are any of you still getting issues? I only bought the card a couple days ago so I can easily return it if needs be.

Thanks

EDIT: Can run benches fine, just seems to be BF4. Totally STOCK clocks.

If you have a 7970 or something lying around. Just use that. Let the r9 290x cards mature before you use it.

...and on the stock cooler at that...

I did try overclocking on +150mV for 1200MHz when I was still using the stock cooler for quick bench, I was sensible enough to manually turn the fan to 100% and kept the temp below 73C. Wonder if he was running the max voltage with temp hitting close to 90C for long period of time...

False assumptions...
 
Just confirming that my 290x was not only **** but faulty.

I dont see how a 290x is worth it over a 290. Considering price and performance (290 is a TINY BIT slower)
