R9 280X stripes problem

[MetalMachine]

Hello,

I have the R9 280X Vapor-X by Sapphire.

When I'm playing Arma 3 a few minutes in the screen displays vertical stripes, causing the computer to crash.

That was happaning on Windows 8.1 on 14.7 beta driver, but less.

Now I installed Windows 7 and tried 14.7 beta and 14.4 stable, vertical stripes still happaning.

 

Is this a faulty card? I got it in October with a system I built - I5 4570, Corsair 850W.

yes most likely a faulty card.

 

I dont know if you have a second system laying arround to test your card in.

But i think its the card.

And you probably gonne need to rma it.

 

You could also try older drivers like the 13.12.

Best way would be testing it in a diffrent system.

 

How are the temps wenn this happens?

cpu and gpu?

causing the computer to crush.

Do you mean crash? Or does it actually implode or something?

Is your GPU overclocked?

 

Try uninstalling both CCC and the GP drivers. Then reinstall.

You can also try upping the core voltage, or reducing the core frequency.

 

If all fails then RMA is the last option

Did this just start randomly? You don't by any small chance have your drivers patched so you can overclock your monitor do you? because I had very similar things happen on my 280x when I did that.

I meant crash.

I'm going to try these, thanks.

No second system laying around.

I'm going to try old drivers.

The cpu gets up to 55 celsius and the gpu up to 60, and that's in the Israeli summer, so I guess it hold pretty good.

Yeah those temps ahould be fine.

I had almost the same problem with my Sapphire Tri-x R9-280x, try downclocking the memory (VRAM) to 1250MHz or so, if the stripes go away then you know it's a faulty card and can RMA it.

 

or you could just leave the memory at their highest stable clocks and deal with it, memory doesn't have a huge impact on performance like the core clock does.
