MSI R9 390 artifacts in 3dMark

When i overclock my MSI R9 390 graphics card i can run valley benchmark for 30 minutes stable, but when i run 3dMark 11 (Demo) i start to get artifacts around the 3rd or 4th test. 

 

 

My settings for Overclock (MSI Afterburner)

Core Voltage - +56

Power Limit - 0

Core Clock - 1104-1120

Try Running the test without any Overclock.

I already have tried that. Did i just get a GPU that doesn't overclock well?

Are you still getting artifacts? If you're then RMA it.

Sorry i meant to say I can run both valley bench mark and 3dMark without overclock with no artifacts, and totally stable.

Increase the power limit to 5 and try also bring down the core voltage to like 50.

Your voltage is too high i have mine at

 

Core Voltage - +25

Power Limit - 0

Core Clock - 1105 Mhz

Memory Clock 1600 Mhz

 

But maybe your card is not a great overclocker

Yep that's what I thought, especially after hearing a lot of people get close to 1200 mhz on 390... Is it worth trying to rma?

Wait, power limit 0? Shouldn't it be maxed?

Isn't the power limit supposed to be at like 20 on these cards when ocing?

50% for Grenada cards

Some really well binned cards can overclock without raising the power limit ;) 

 

Generally when you overclock, you'll want to allow the card to use as much power as it needs. Even more so when you start over-volting the card.

Wow, my 280xs only have a power limit of 20%.  O.o

You can BIOS mod to increase to +50
