Has anyone who owns a r9 290 not 290x, have experienced random computer freezing and restarts?

Nope none at all

tuunade988 · May 15, 2014

Just typical black screens?

Turn off hardware acceleration in Flash Player. - To fix blue Screen / Restart.

Black Screens = Drivers crash

Never had that problem.

Nope, only black screen is when a over clock is to high. Black screen will go back to normal if left for a min or so but other wise no black screens

tuunade988 · May 15, 2014

Hmm.. you guys don't know that if its common at all to have the problems im having?

EDIT: I've got a rev 1.0 version of the gigabyte windforce r9 290, if that means anything...

Hey

Does anybody have a Sapphire Vapor-X R9 290X Tri-X OC Bios?

Do you have a R9-290X Vapor-X OC because if you don't the R9 290X Vapor-X OC BIOS will brick all cards that aren't the R9 290X Vapor-X OC.

I have the same card but the non-x version. A friend of mine was able to upgrade his sapphire r9 290 vapor x oc to an r9 290x vapor x by flashing the "x" bios. Unfortunally he hasnt the bios file anymore.
If the flash goes wrong, i can change the bios by a jumper on the card.

Scored myself an Asus DCUII 290 today.

Tri-fire time tomorrow!

Any tips on removing the cooler on this gpu?

Lopez0101 · May 16, 2014

A screwdriver?

fullinfusion · May 16, 2014

Smart ass lol no shit.

Ok then a simpler question is the bios switch for different clocks and should I update the cards bios from Asus?

fullinfusion · May 16, 2014

Who says its 1080P?

Just because my sys info says a 27" don't mean I run 27 all the time...

I figured as much lol. I'll let you know this weekend if I'm going to sell it. Its a nice card.. Way bigger then my MSI gaming card and it works well. The bios flash sucked but I fixed that in a hurry in dos.

What's better for over clocking 2 different vendor cards? Trix or MSI an?

Ok i'll keep an eye out bud

I can't really say as the last time i ran 2 cards was with 2x HD 7870s @1215/1500 with MSI Afterburner

fullinfusion · May 16, 2014

Yeah my Asus is clocked at 1000/1260 ,and the MSI is 977/1250 and trixx isn't very friendly when clocking to the same frequency.

fullinfusion · May 16, 2014

My msi card is alot faster even though clocked lower.

Asus? what happend to you?

It's probably got loose memory timings.

Did you try individually clocking them with AB

Also will i lose performance by crossfiring a R9 290 with a R9 290X
