Graphics Card issues

[Honeybadgerz17]

Almost every time I open and play any game it just shuts down for no reason! Like it just crashes without a error message or anything. Sometimes when I restart my computer it helps but it just starts to do it again. I've verified the game cash on steam, uninstalled, and restarted my computer multiple times... it just keeps happening. The graphics card I am using is a AMD RX 580 8GB. Here's the link https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y66K3XD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Also I went through DDU to uninstall my AMD drivers and reinstalled new drivers. So I have the latest drivers. Any help is appreciated!

E/ was just trying to play rocket league and my computer gave me a message "Exiting 'ran out of video memory'" <--- Whats up with this?

 

I just got this card at the beginning of August. I'm worried that its a fake but I'm not sure. Hopefully Amazon will take it back if its bad.

@Honeybadgerz17 That's probably the game throwing a fit, has this happened on other games?

At this point its starting to do it for a lot more games...

Go into Radeon Settings / Gaming / Global Settings / Global Wattman: Down below the fan settings you will find a red horizontal " Power Limit " slider. Slide it all the way to the right, on 580's this is to 50, may vary card to card, regardless set it to it's max. The power usage is dynamic so it won't use more than it needs. This only raises the potential ceiling of power available. Since Wattman was introduced in the latter Crimson drivers and now Adrenaline drivers,  these cards often need to have the power ceiling raised a bit. This is something that honestly helps most AMD cards from the R series to current, IMHO.  It is still in normal operating range to do this and causes no harm other than maybe costing a penny or two more here and there. This will help the stability of the card greatly and is what many people do with their RX 480's and 580's to get the best performance and stability.   Another tip is that the 580's in particular on many of the custom, non-reference, AIB cards, the default cooling settings in the drivers ( they don't allow the fan to run full speed and allow the card to reach around 90 ) cause the cards to get too hot and throttle also causing instability. This is easily fixed with the fan  & temp min and max sliders. I recommend setting the max temp to be about 68 and this will cause the card to do a lot less throttling and also raise the max fan to it's max, unless you find you just can't deal with the noise. When you get the settings you like make sure to save it to a profile for easy reload. Note that if the driver crashes or you update the driver you need to reload that profile as the settings will have returned to default.   If you need more help you can find a lot @ https://community.amd.com

 

Good Luck & Happy Gaming!

Thanks a lot!!! What if I messed with the memory speed, would that help at all.

Well I'm still having the same issue. I went to the AMD community forums and some others were having very similar issues to mine on newer cards. Maybe there was a parts quality control issue. What can I do at this point... I'm thinking of returning the card back to amazon and just getting my money back. Will they even take it after a month of use?
