Hey guys, I have my XFX RX 480 8 GB Custom Blackplate Edition for over a year now. This one has factory OC to 1328 Mhz.
The issues I found: since a few months ago, the card has been behaving oddly, crashes when playing games and doing benchmark. Here are some instances:
- 3D Mark Time Spy and Firestrike always crash after a minute
- Unigine Heaven does some black screen with music plays in background, or sometimes it just freezes
- Cinebench OpenGL always crash in seconds
- Interestingly, Furmark doesn't crash, no problem at all
- For games, Dota 2, The Surge and Nier Automata always shows screen freeze but games are actually still playing in the background. I can move my characters, pausing games and such, indicated by the sounds and music. But screen is still freezed. This usually happens right after I take control of the characters ingame (not main menu, intro movies, etc)
- Mass Effect Andromeda simply crashes after a few seconds in main menu. Error msg: GPU removed bla bla bla
- Deus Ex Mankind DIvided also crashes with error msg: not enough resource (already tried the lowest graphical settings)
- Planetside 2 playable with occasional flashes of black screens
Then, I tried lowering the clock to its standard of 1120 Mhz. All the problems gone, the card works flawlessly. I tried bumping up the clock and it seems it can only works flawlessly at 1190 Mhz. Above that, all the issues persist.
My specs;
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z77x-D3H
CPU: i7 2600k
CPU Cooler: Deepcool Lucifer v2
RAM: Generic SK-Hynix 8 GB (single, I took it from a built-up PC)
PSU: Seasonic X750 W Gold
Case: Corsair Carbide 400c
OS: Win 10
Now I have migrated to Ryzen with specs:
CPU: R5 1600
CPU Cooler: Stock Wraith Spire
Mobo: ASrock X370 Taichi
RAM: Corsair LPX 16 GB (dual channel) @2933
everything else is the same, and I can still reproduce the same error on the GPU.
GPU on latest BIOS
So my question;
1. What's the cause of this? Because from the first time I bought the card prior to this issue, I can play games fine at its factory OC settings in 1328.
2. Any insight as to make it work again on 1328 factory OC?
Thank you good people!
