[Nexxus]

Welcome to the greeeen side!!!

 

 

As an nvidia user the last thing in the world you want is for AMD to die unless you like a future where you have to pay $600 for something on par with a 950

"MSI R9 290X LIGHTNING"

 

 

So what GPU do you own? 265/270 or the 290x?

 

 

Mr troll.

I own mulptiple since around the house we have a lot of pc's.If that is your problem go somewhere else

Mr troll.

Wait if he owns a 290x Lighting the only possible way to make that card have issues is overvolting this piss out of it and even then its tough to kill it or even make it have issues. I've dumped 1.45v through mine on air and its still running like new and has hit no degradation.

The psu is and evga supernova.What that dude about psu said is making me think about it

I was using a Seasonix X-series 750w 80+gold (still am).

 

I shutdown my system every night because I don't trust my water cooler that much. Occasionally when I went to start up in the morning, the video playback would be laggy (not just videos and games, but any actual movement on the screen) and any and all sound would be HORRIFYINGLY distorted and static-y. I RMA'd my GTX 660 to EVGA, they sent me a brand new one. Same problem. Contacted them again, they said my PSU must be fluctuating in the power it was delivering to the GPU, causing the issue. I would have to restart multiple times to get it to stop.

 

I didn't feel like replacing the PSU, and couldn't test it myself because I didn't have a multi-meter. So I ended up just getting a new GPU, ASUS Strix 970. I've occasionally had BSOD's from overclocking and playing modded skyrim, but the stuttery video playback accompanied by GOD AWFUL sound, has never occurred again.

 

 

Sometimes, shit is just weird

But you said you were never buying AMD again, you would never have made this thread if your 290x is solid as a rock, you would have mentioned it too, or you would have used common sense and just think you got unlucky.

[Rusty_Shackleford]

My problem with AMD gpus is they draw a shit ton of power.

I don't see anything wrong with my Lighting saving me money on my heating bill by using 400+ watts overclocked

[nanowatt]

What EVGA SuperNova exactly? Not all are the same and not all are made by the same companies.

Other Specs?750 G1

evga 750 G1

i5 4460

4 gb corsair xms 3

Windows 10 drivers though.

Because that was bought long ago and it doesn't have any issues.If you don't want to help go away

ps:1 card good 3 borken.Doesn't balance the things.I frustrating over imagination 

[jjohnthedon1]

Sound like it PC not the cards lmao

I have a old r5 240 and it doesn't do any of the crazy shit ur on about

[Mikjul]

So now you are saying AMD is shit in it's entirety because you had some duds?

 

LOL

The 300 series are truly not that much of difference. The difference like between the 960 and 380 are 3 watts under load. Which is what, a few pennies a year?

970-390 under load I believe is 40watts which is what, $5 a year? Little more less depending on how much you pay.

Tested on multiple systems, can't be the pc

The lightning can only use 375W max I think

[arvark]

I agree with Mikjul, if your 290x was good, why say AMD is bad? Which manufacturer was the card made by?

And both cards are outperforming the NV options too, GG.

I am pissed and i made this because i knew it will draw attention and maybe i will get some help.

ps:read the edit.

Have you done the simplest of things and by that I mean properly configured everything? Fresh drivers via DDU, power connectors, motherboard bios?

[That Norwegian Guy]

3 cards in a row with the same problem?

 

Yeah no, you are probably using your integrated graphics without realizing it  :lol:

 

Either that, or your PCIe slot is full of gunk

[nanowatt]

I agree with Mikjul, if your 290x was good, why say AMD is bad? Which manufacturer was the card made by?

asus, all 3 of them

and for your question.Because is frustrating!On asus's website it says that updating the bios and using a certain driver it will fix the issue so clearly they know about it.If you google it you will see a lot of people have this issue

[nanowatt]

Have you done the simplest of things and by that I mean properly configured everything? Fresh drivers via DDU, power connectors, motherboard bios?

Yes 2 times actually

[KemoKa]

then go for broke and try one on eBay. You'll probably have better luck. You can't just be like "oh, these cards all broke on me, AMD completely sucks". That makes no sense. You could have just gotten unlucky. Shit happens.

It's okay, you'll switch back when Async compute becomes a thing in games.

Nah it can use WAY more then that its brought down my 850w PSU alone
