Hello everyone,
This is my first post here, so please be forgiving. I have recently upgraded from a GTX 960 to an MSI R9 390 (my first AMD gpu). I am experiencing a strange issue where my display looks weird after Alt-Tabbing. It sometimes happens when exiting or entering a game as well. This only happens to full screen applications. The best way I have to replicate it is to open up a game and Alt-Tab until it happens. If I Alt-Tab back into a full screen application, it goes away most of the time. Please see the pictures attached, and any advice is appreciated. It is worth noting that I bought this card secondhand, which is why I am worried.
My Specs: Intel i5 4670, Intel DH87RL m/b (don't judge, it was all I could get my hands on at the time :)), 12GB ram, MSI R9 390 8GB, Antec True Power 750W Gold PSU.
Software: Windows 8.1 Pro (Tried 10 Pro as well), Crimson Edition 16.1.1 Hotfix.
Nothing is overclocked.
I don't know if this is relevant, but I see that the memory clock jumps up and down from 150 to 1500 every 2-3 seconds while typing this.
I have tried a different version of windows as mentioned, and also re-downloaded the drivers and re-installed.
I would also like to ask another question. I saw fallout 4 running on a different PC with an R9 290X at full graphics, and it was running great, but I get horrible fps even on low settings. Is this because of the new crimson drivers? Would using older drivers solve it? I know this is a known issue at the moment.
Thank you in advance.
