So Ive tried a few games so far. None to graphic intensive or so I think. And Im getting these weird graphical glitches and screen tears which are black. Id take a pic to show you but it doesnt show my problem in any game when I take a pic then look at it. I tried the Omega Catalyst 14.12 software with the same thing then I uninstalled it and tried the beta drivers which are 15.6 and it still does it.. Any thoughts on how to fix this problem??
 
I don't know ?? I just fire things up and run them ? but I do know all the drivers above 13.12 suck on my card , all of them..

a guess all you can do is load them up and see how they play .. for me if a game requires anything like steam/ internet required to load or play I don't own it ... only games that are fully on a retail disk with out any 3ed party involvement

Actually I was playing Kholat for maybe an hour last night and it crashed. So I figured I better update to 14.12
Kholat works fine. I played Don't Starve half the night which I wasn't intending to but some games do that to you.
Then I tried a different game and the glitches are back. Like they blink on and off quickly making the game almost unplayable
So now idk what todo lol
 
could be just a bad card seems a lot of them cards like yours get these type of threads ?? [''XFX'' R9 280x seems common]

did you log the sensor readings to see if it drops voltage or over heats or anything ?? xfx is not known for there great coolers

heres 2 threads with a xfx support guy replying send him a private message and get his in put on this ??
