Stable R9 290

[matulley]

So after trying out my new R9 290 ive run into the dreaded black screen on 14.4, anybody know any stable drivers?

[Sauron]

Have you tried 14.6?

[Enderman]

Try the latest drivers. If not, try to downgrade to older ones that work (hopefully)

[matulley]

trying the beta 14.6 now, ill try 2 more drivers and if it doesnt work ill just return the cards

[matulley]

The 14.6 Beta so far has been fine, currently running furmark on it to stress the card. As these are 2nd hand im not sure whether or not I should just return the cards as im still within the time limit to return them and given that the cards are blacking out with what should be the most stable and up to date drivers.

 

Suggestions?

[dingoman]

return it, try the 780.

i had the 780 Classy & i loved it but sold it to a friend.

it's funny how some people have problems with amd drivers

I never had problems with amd drivers & i'm running 2 r9 290.

only issue i had was with, watch dogs with beta drivers, so i went back to 14.4.

as it was 2nd hand. You can also try this guy http://www.ebay.com/itm/301182949195?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2648

 

that's where i got my cards running perfectly for a month or so now.My friend also got 2 xfx cards from him also working fine.

He says he has more card but hes on max selling limits. I Guess you can contact him.

or just get a 780 +1 for the 780.

How many times?

[matulley]

4-5 times which were mostly yesterday.

 

Going to return the cards to the seller, not happy paying over £500 for cards which dont work properly
