Hello,
I have recently purchased a Gigabyte R9 280X Windforce 3X rev 2, and I get weird artifacts and flickering when playing games. I've tested it in Battlefield 4 and World of Warcraft.
After about half hour/ one hour, the game crashes and when I reopen it I get texture tearing and artifacts as well as flickering. I need to restart my system to get rid of it.
My bios version is F70, 015.041 and I am running at default clocks 1100 / 1500. My driver is 14.4. The card temps never go above 66 degrees.
The rest of the PC looks like
FX6350 @4.2Ghz
8GB DDR3 @1333mhz
Gigabyte 970a-UD3P
Corsair CX600 PSU
SSD+HDD
I've tried changing to to latest drivers 14.7 but the issue still persists. Right now I've down-clocked the memory by about 40mhz and it seems to not happen anymore, although I haven't had the time to test it a lot.
The latest gigabyte bios drivers are listed as 015.036 and 015.039 and I don't if I should flash them as they appear to be older?
Any help would be appreciated. I've read around other forums that people are having the same issues. Is there any custom bios or newer bios that fixes these issues?
Is there anything I can do besides RMA?
Thanks
