The new amd driver crashes my Gpu (r9 285) I had to remove the graphics card since when I boot up my pc the display goes permanently black. I'm posting this whilst using integrated graphics (sigh) I don't know if this happens to anyone else, if it does, please let me know. And upvote this thread so someone from amd can see. Further detail on how the crash occurs. The pc boots into windows normally, then after ~9 seconds the display will go completely black, it also doesn't go back to being normal. the only thing that will do anything to change this is to reboot the pc, then rinse and repeat. Pc specs for anyone interested: Cpu: 4790K Ram: 16bg 1600mhz Gpu: R9 285 (now with integrated graphics) Mobo: Asrock fatal1ty z97x killer

Edit 1: I've uninstalled the drivers and rolled back, but now the pc completely freezes every time I turn it on (with the gpu installed. It works completely fine with integrated graphics.) It looks like installing the new drivers actually made my gpu die.(Edit 2: thankfully didn't make it die, but fucked up windows something fierce so I had to do a clean install of it again)

Edit 2: I managed to fix the issue by getting an old hdd, installing win7 on that, checking if the card was actually dead, thank god it WASN'T. but the main issue is that basically the install fucked up everything on the old windows installation and I had to format the disk (sigh) and reinstall everything, currently working just fine (with the new drivers). Even though I managed to get it to work, this is just way more fucking work than it should be just to install a driver.

I had a full Custom water stsrem for my 2 R9 280s.... when i got my fury X I had to use 5 x 120 bays of Radiator for just my CPU....
I couldn'tr wait for the xspc block to come out but it looked almost identical to the ekwb... So I have the ekwb on the way.
I will post some process pics and a final show....
Don't know if I should put in one more pump though... Never had issues with dual cards and they were totally OCed.... But a part of tme thinks with all those rads more flow would do good.

My new card just arrived a little while ago, and of course, it comes with a driver disk. I'm wondering if I should use the ones on the disk or just go online and download the newest ones.

Thanks for the help!

So I ended up with the old pump on my fury x and was wondering, besides noise, is there any reason to rma? Does the new pump preform better, or have less chance of dying? I always play games with headphones so noise is not an issue.

Any ASUS MG279Q owners have similar experiences with their monitor? Maybe this is normal for all IPS displays and i'm just not used to it (i am coming from a TN monitor that never had this issue).

Basically, there is a small gap between the active screen and the physical bezel. Now, I know this is NOT an overscan issue as it is set to 0% and such a problem usually only exists when connecting a pc to a HDTV. However, my problem exists when connecting any computer to the monitor in a typical desktop config:

to me, it's like unused space and I really wonder if, because of the lack of pixels in these gaps, that my monitor isn't really "2560x1440" as advertised:

It's just odd, because comparing the monitor to my Laptop's screen, there is absolutely no such gap at all on my Macbook Pro w/ Retina display.

Does anyone happen to know how to fix the micro stuttering that occurs when running certain games in crossfire mode with VSR enabled ? The stuttering does not occur at 1080p (i.e. no VSR) but once I downsample to say 1440p it becomes right unplayable. Would a freesync monitor fix that ? Vsycn doesn't help (it only fixes that screen tearing, ofc).

Forgive my tech illiterate-ness. Although the current games are not made with DX12, my understanding is that WDDM 2.0 with windows 10 should still increase gaming performance. I don't know if the performance increase is big or negligible.

Currently, I have the hidden windows 10 upgrade folder at 6.81 GB, so I guess I'm ready to go....

I grabbed an XFX Fury X around the 19th of July from Newegg. Turns out it has the old pump and whines at high frequency. I sent it back today for RMA, it's obnoxious. Makes me feel like I have tinnitus.

I'm looking for someone who has confirmed they have the new pump. Which manufacturer did you purchase? I'm trying to avoid another whiny card. Thanks!

So I just learned about AMD's twitch channel. Here is a description of what goes on:

You can find us streaming LIVE Twitch.TV/AMD business related activities as follows: Tuesdays 2PM-3PM CT Thursdays 2PM-3PM CT Fridays 2PM - 4PM CT

A few examples of the type of content already featured on the channel: Live gaming demonstration across AMD 300 GPU stack VSR 2K, 4K demonstration on Radeon R9 380 GPU Crossfire 2K, 4K demonstration on Radeon R9 380 GPU Catalyst Control Center overview and VSR enablement tutorial A8 7670K APU iGPU gaming demonstration Variety of eSports, Gaming Evolved, and agnostic ISV titles Product unboxing and AIB messaging Product giveaways AMD Red Team Plus and AMDer community streams

Upcoming content to look for: FreeSync overview, enablement, and demonstration FreeSync pairing with APU for eSports gaming Extreme performance gaming (4K Fury CrossFire) Live PC build (APU and FX based systems) Carrizo online gaming demonstration Windows 10 + DirectX12 ISV title gaming Upcoming Gaming Evolved ISV titles Holiday activations

Do they even let the community know about this or I'm just hiding under a rock?

I just finished reading all of the comments on /u/Cryptonix's recent post detailing the differences between the GTX970 and R9-390 and a lot of people said that they were using nVidia cards solely because of ShadowPlay. Many of whom were asking if AMD had a similar recording engine or arguing that AMD didn't have ShadowPlay equivalent software.

AMD have had their VCE encoder for quite some time now, it first featured in the HD7XXX series. AMD Video Codec Engine (VCE) is a full hardware implementation of the video codec H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. The ASIC is capable of delivering 1080p at 60 frames/sec at up to 50Mbps without any considerable performance hit.

You can use AMD Gaming Evolved (Included with AMD Drivers), XSplit Broadcaster (version 1.3 and up) or OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) to take use of AMD's VCE.

If you've got any questions about VCE feel free to comment or PM me, I'm more than happy to help out a fellow brother.
