AMD driver issue or RMA time for card?

*shrug* Anecdotal... But I ran a 7850 24/7 for over a year and a half LTC mining. Gave it to a friend a few weeks ago and according to Steam she's currently playing Far Cry 3 on it. Oh yeah, for those 18 months it was overclocked. :whiste:

Explain what this is and I'll tell ya. :biggrin: Also, been playing Civ5 for about 6 hours since I updated the drivers to 14.6, not a single problem yet. So.... fingers crossed!

I never mentioned anything about Watch Dogs. I don't even own the game. :rolleyes: All I wanted to know was if this was a known driver issue or if I should consider RMA'ing the card. *edit* BrightCandle, you seem to have started posting in this thread under the impression that this was about...

AMD driver issue or RMA time for card?

"definitely slow drive access" ? "definitely a bug" ? (the exact same bug in World of Tanks, Civ5, and Borderlands 2, amazing!) I just replaced a video card, and only a video card. A problem suddenly crops up that never occurred on my rig before, and I'm told it's problems streaming assets off...

Never happened in the last year and a half I've had this rig, until I got this video card 2 weeks ago.

AMD driver issue or RMA time for card?

I'll try to explain it better. Imagine you have Fraps running, it's reporting a steady 60 FPS in Civ 5. Your GPU is about 30ish % load. Suddenly, your primary monitor (on which civ 5 is located) flickers for a split second. Afterwards, GPU-z on your second monitor is reporting stock reference...

AMD driver issue or RMA time for card?

Updated to 8.1, have not tried the new drivers yet, problem still occasionally occurs. One thing I have noticed since the last time I posted: whenever this does happen, my GPU drops down to stock clock speeds. Not stock for the Sapphire Dual-X (which is 940/1250), but stock for the reference...

AMD driver issue or RMA time for card?

I recently (received it last week) purchased a Sapphire dual-x R9 280 from Newegg. Temps are OK even with an overclock of 1100/1500. However, both at stock and overclocked I've noticed a stuttering issue. Occasionally after gaming for a while (again, temps are still cool and OK, highest it's...

Cryptocoin Mining?

So I'm sitting on just under a third of a bitcoin and 41 litecoins. What's the best way currently to go about getting these turned into cash?

Does anyone still have a spare AGP graphic card laying around?

Pretty much this. I just saw the thread and got excited thinking of that old 2004 card and how great it was back then. :P

I used to have an X800 XL in my garage. No idea if I still have it or not. I'll check the next time I'm out there.

Does anyone still get the AMD 7xxx bug where your monitor doesn't wake up from sleep?

I get this bug occasionally on Win 8, also on the only monitor run through an adapter. Pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE for some reason will bring the video signal back and display that annoying blue screen on Win 8 asking what I want to do.
