Gigabyte R9 270x screen flickering problem.

Guest · Nov 17, 2013

When on a browser, sometimes in a game, my screen will jump about an inch up and down. It is fast, but slow enough to notice. I heard this was a problem with the new r9 series of cards (due to bios maybe?). Not sure what to do about this, any suggestions?

I would suggest updating any graphics card drivers the come available, as a fix to your problem may be addressed in one. If you've already updated all of your drivers, try contacting Gigabyte's technical support for further troubleshooting.

Here's the link to Gigabyte's support page: http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/support-downloads.aspx

Lol, I have the same problem with GB r9 270x! It's super rare but it is happening. I'm using latest Beta Driver 13.11 Beta.

Try switching to the recommended/stable drivers, and if the problem persists contact Gigabyte's support.

Guest · Nov 17, 2013

Ill try contacting Gigabyte, thanks for the advice.

ggenev91 · Nov 17, 2013

Pls tell me if Gigabyte have solution for this.

ggenev91 :

I'm sure Gigabyte will have some sort of solution to this problem. If you feel like it, go ahead and contact their support for further trouble shooting.

Apparently, Gigabyte is not responding or admitting to the problem. Guess we have to wait for a new driver :/

You could try looking around some more online, as there might be someone else with the same problem that was able to solve it.

JordanK_ :

Already tried, the fix is with sapphire and msi cards only right now.

Same problem, but in Battlefield 4 loading screen. MSI R9 270X HAWK

Rhenox :

Try following the steps that I suggested to Sparta, and see if you can find a fix for your particular card.

Rhenox :

Yeah, Im pretty sure that there is a bios update for the msi card.

Glad to see you've found a fix!

Updating did fix the problem, however performance in BF4 and other games has decreased significantly. Reverting back to old drivers. Can't have everything I guess.

Hi everyone, i have R9 270X by Sapphire and the flickering problem is still present nomatter that i installed (correctly) the latest drivers by AMD, where they say it fixes the problem, well it does not !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest · Dec 15, 2013

Tedd123 :

Tedd123 · Dec 22, 2013

Tedd123 · Dec 25, 2013

DlakaviKurac · Dec 31, 2013

I have the same problem with sapphire r9 270x dualx .. With 13.11 beta drivers flickering , also with 13.12 flickering ... although they say they have fixed it in 13.12 ... Mostly while in desktop, didnt notice it in games.. I also say wow amd... Im probably going back to nvidia soon... Glad I didnt get amd processor..

simonc11 · Jan 2, 2014

I also still have flickering in 13.12 Catalyst drivers with Sapphire Dual-X R9 270X. So you are not the only one. Hopefully the next catalyst driver release will address problem.

teachmehowtotank · Jan 2, 2014

I too switched from nvidia to amd this time but I got an msi 270x. No flickering problems but I am having to drivers crash on me in rome 2 and crysis. All the other games are stable. Never had problems with nvidia drivers and really hoping amd fixes these issues.

I am not running any OC, only the factory OC to 1120. Anything above that and its gets unstable in every game.

Same problem with R9 270x Toxic Boost. I have also tried older drivers and beta drivers but problem persisted. Flickering only occurs when i am playing games
