Hello,
I have a Sapphire R9 280X Dual X OC 3GB. The whole desktop computer is custom built, and all parts (except to SSD and case) were bought - including the graphics card - second hand.
So the PC runs Windows 8.1 and I updated the drivers to the latest one with Catalyst Control Center.
Initially I installed the latest graphics drivers and the CCC, then I decided to use the previous version but it didn't solve the jumping. So I went ahead and updated it to the latest version again.
Basically the screen jumps up and down in a split second, it happens so fast I can't even tell if it's going up and down or down and back up. It happens when browsing the internet, it happens in main menus of games and for some older games like C&C Generals or Age of Empires 2 HD it happens throughout the whole game regardless playing it or being in the menu.
For example, in ARK: Survival Evolved the jumping happens randomly in the menu, but never ingame. However it does happen with C&C Generals throughout as well as Act of Aggression, of which the latter game is only a couple of months old.
I'm thinking it might be the graphics card, I bought it second hand so there's no chance of getting it repaired or sent to factory? I don't have any receipt.
I read all kinds of stuff that I might have to update my BIOS, some solved if by installing a newer version of the CCC but I already have the latest version. Some suggest
I also tried using a different monitor, but the same problem occurs. Should also note that currently I am using an adapter, you know, a small block that converts the graphics card DVI to VGA to my monitor since it only has VGA. I figured it might be a problem?
Here are my specs:
Operating System
Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
CPU
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 @ 2.66GHz
Kentsfield 65nm Technology
RAM
16,0GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 533MHz (8-9-9-24)
Motherboard
ASUSTeK Computer INC. P5E64 WS EVOLUTION (LGA775)
Graphics
ACER X243HQ (1920x1080@60Hz)
3072MB ATI AMD Radeon R9 200 Series (Sapphire/PCPartner)
Storage
232GB Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB ATA Device (SSD)
Optical Drives
No optical disk drives detected
Audio

Thank in advance for any reply.
