Yes and the whole time you can tell the computer is working and it doesn't take an hour.  And if that was the problem turning off half of the card won't fix things.  AMD has made such CRAP drivers that HALF of my card stalls the %$#@ing computer.  Remind me why pay programmers? 


AMD should be embarrassed.

The 8350 isn't the problem!!  I can't %$#@ing install drivers if I want to boot I never get to a point where the word bottleneck would occur.

Even at 11GHz?

You can't complain about it not worked with DX12 when it isn't released yet. DX12 will be a completely different ball playing field. Again, I've told you...Most modern video cards support DX12, including the lowly GTX 750. The R9 290 was released before DX12 was even mentioned. Mantle caused Microsoft to form DX12. I'm not going to continue arguing.

I think any video card made by NVIDIA from the 400 series and higher will work. ;)

You all are missing the point the 8350 is not the issue I never get to the point where I would get to the point where it would be!  The AMD graphics drivers blow my system every time I install them!!!  I haven't been able to windows updates before the system is toast.  I would love to get to a bottleneck being an issue, I am miles away.

I suppose your only other option is to RMA.

How many times do I have to say it the card is not the issue the drivers SUCK if I get a new card the drivers will still SUCK.  I have never gotten far enough to test the card to say for sure it is fine but if I get a new one the drivers will still have been made by the same 4 year olds.

How do you know the card isn't the issue?

So what are you doing with the card if you're going to be stuck with the same drivers? No real point in troubleshooting if it's only the drivers, right?

That is like saying Windows sucks...oh well.  If it is the drivers it should be possible to make them as bad of a time as I am having I can't imagine a company like amd would put out a driver that just lands on its face.  Or I won't be the only one saying AMD should be embarrassed.

I just read this..  Briefly (smirk)

Wondering same thing now wondering how long he spent windows up time before cracking the giggles with the driver install. He said the card made it into windows right but not if it was stable without AMD drivers installed I mean common even a broken system can remain idle in the OS for a driver to be re installed.  If the cards fine I bet the OP is on Windows 10 by now and using latest drivers catalyst is the past really now.
