Uh from what I read in the specs for that card those LEDs indicate core temp not VRM load.

I meant it as BIOS that lets ELPIDA VRAM clock higher not stable about being stable

I'll give you mine it's 1040mhz.

Durin test they illuminate when vrm phases are being used. The sapphire logo changes color for core temp.

Wait there's more LEDs other than the logo?

Yes on the back end of my card, looking through the backplate theres 6-8 of them, shows the vrm load of the card. They are green

I dinna know that!!!! I just thought it was random... I saw it reddish the other night when I was coming back to my PC, but mostly I've just seen it blue... I thought it was just random :oops:

Durin a gpuz test load my gpu reaches 66 and the light is yellow. The vrm leds are running and the pcie bus jumps from 1.1 to 2.0 and core jumps from 300 to 1030

That makes me want the card even more. It's too bad that I have no way to justify 3 way crossfire

The card is 2.75 slot so youd need a 990fx ga ud7 motherboard to work it

Is that at me or someone else? also the RIVE can accommodate 3 way 3slot GPU CF just fine.

This bios have 2 more sensor vrm?
Hwinfo64 read two more of vrm sensor

Im just stating the slots it occupies. My config i intended on having a sc with it. Since we have the same Amd board it blocks the 1x and 4x slot and it only leaves the 16x/pci/8x slot avail

How many sensors are you seeing cause I have one for VRM1(VRAM+core) and VRM2(AUX). If they work just take it as an added bonus.

The 290 VX i have has 6 vrms total

Sounds like a copycat lightning card lol.. But how does it over clock is what I'd like to know.

Ok they aren't working so just ignore them.

in AIDA64 aux voltage which is the same msi afterburner, is read as voltage memory in AIDA64

boromaill · Nov 25, 2014

Just ran Firestrike test and this is my score. Is it normal or too low for my specs?

Scored 8500 and Gpu score was 10600.
Specs: Sapphire r9 290x trix OC(1040 MHz)
i5 3570K, stock clocks

EarthDog · Nov 25, 2014

Did you compare results in the 3dmark13 thread where you asked this same question already? (Duplicate posts)

mastrdrver · Nov 26, 2014

Is it normal for the GPU load to be all over the place?

For example, while playing Borderlands Pre Sequel, GPUz shows the load swinging wildly from 100% down to 40% back up the 70 and then down to 30, etc. Did this in BF4 too, with DX11, but was able to get little better fps by increasing the resolution scaling. I'm using 14.9 drivers.

Certain parts of a game are not as demanding as others. Id try radeon pro for that issue

First time i heard it to be a issue, it's a none issue unless your talking about Arma 3 which would be down to the game not the card.
