Gigabyte R9 280x windfoce OC artifacts

Charles9412 · Jan 16, 2014

Hi,

I recently bought this gpu and I got artifacts in assassins creed 3 and world of Warcraft. It'd be odd to me that the problem would be overheating as I don't get low frames or anything else. It's not all the time I play but only in some parts and they disappear when reloading or restarting the game or the PC. I cat get th temperatures with Everest because my MB does not have a sensor.

PC specs:
Processor: A8-5500k at 3.2Ghz
Memory: 6gb Ram ddr3
Motherboard: MS-7770 (jasmine)
PSU: Aerocool strike-x 800W
GPU: Gigabyte windforce radeon r9 280x OC version.

Any advices? Should I return it or wait?

What case are you using and what is the fan configuration? Good airflow and exhaust is important.

It's the hp's p7-1414 tower. It actually looks kinda tight and that's why I now keep the case open.

It might be problem with drivers. I mean....it seems just odd to me that so many people report having artifacts and flickering..I hardly believe that every second card is rubbish.

So I should just wait till there's a new driver available? I installed the last version yesterday. The artifacts and flickering are minimum, that's what is odd.

Hi, the cables were connected incorrectly. They were not on pic-e 8 and 6+2 pin. Could that be the cause of the artifacts?

what do you mean? it should not run when you are gaming if it is connected incorrectly.

dency45 :

You're right, actually it was well plugged. Anyway, I'm RMAing because I've checked the fan speed and made a stress test with fur mark and temperature never goes above 80°C even in 15 mins stress test.

dency45 · Jan 22, 2014

So you RMAing because it is not that hot?

dency45 :

I'm RMAing because I have done multiple tests and concluded that most certainly it is faulty.

Can you share it?

dency45 :

I monitored temperature and fan speed and burned it with furmark on 1080 preset, nevertheless, temp. didn't go above 70°C, 97% fan speed. It didn't show any anomalies in the burn test. This just happens with games, it seems.
