For the past week since getting my R9 290's I've had nothing but trouble. A the title says I'm experiencing micro stutters and terrible audio when playing any game and I can't see any solution. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling catalyst several times, did a fresh install of window, and flashed the bios on my mobo and I'm still having the same problems as before. I looked up the issue and I saw that a lot of people had the same problem as me but none of them had an actual fix as far as I can see and the most resent post I can find on the issue was back in February. Has a fix been found?
here are my specs:
Mobo: Z87X-UD5H
CPU: 4770k
PSU: Cosair RM1000
RAM: 12gb DDR3 Cosair Vengence
GPU: CF Sapphire Vapor-x R9 290
 
Do a pc health check - download and run HWInfo - Sensors and post the results - usually 3 screenshots in TinyPic or similar.

Check you gpu drivers are up to date.

Check your motherboard audio drivers are up to date.

Are you using gpu or motherboard audio?

There are lots of problems reported with r9 290. Mainly low fps. The 290x seems to have microstutter probs reported more than the 290.

Maybe the stuttering is also affecting audio.
