I don't want to hijack OP's thread.
Well this is going to be my first post, since skulking around for 3 years without an account has it's drawbacks when there's a community like this around.
I bought an R9 380 G1 4GB model 3 weeks ago, and it had the horrible F1 bios. Updating drivers hasn't fixed constant throttle that happens, I tried a lot of AAA games and they all react the same way. But only with Fallout 4 and Skyrim I have been able to push this card to go 100% usage for more than a second, usually on other games the card tends to throttle a lot more, but because the GPU clock is fluctuating so much, I get micro-stutters even with V-Sync on, and sometimes V-Sync makes it worse! With GTX 660 I have never had these sort of issues, it did come with power saving features, but the damn thing wouldn't downgrade to 2D clocks every second!
I have to mention that if I keep using the default fan curve, the GPU stays at 50c (back plate is hot as hell though), after playing certain games the GPU driver would crash and the display would become black, keyboard would still be active but the system is completely frozen by this point, and the only thing to do is to restart the system.
Another important note: I am using Windows 10 x64, god bless...
I have been able to disable the power saving features in RadeonPro, and that seems to fix the problem temporarily, I want a more permanent solution so I don't have to use this software and it seems that it is possible to do this with a BIOS from a different vendor, but for stability reasons I do not wish to use a BIOS that doesn't belong to this graphics card.
Recently I spotted a new F51 BIOS (a little late since it dates 2015/12/30) for Hynix memory since that is what GPU-Z is reporting. I flashed it and I'm going to test it, the BIOS notes say it's supposed to only change up the fan curve which I did have a problem with, but I used MSI Afterburner to make my own and that has been working much better anyway, it's just a shame that the software interferes slightly with external post-processing.
When I bought the card I expected better from AMD. I thought I could just plug and play. But instead I get issues around every corner, I'm an advanced user so it isn't much of a problem, but I had a much better experience when I ran my GTX 660. I would have gotten the GTX 960, but it's price to performance didn't justify the purchase.
Beware! I edit my posts a lot so refresh button might be your friend.
EDIT: Currently in desktop the GPU now idles at 44c rather than 50c, the BIOS now puts fans on earlier, but it still doesn't remove the silent/stop LED indicators on the card. Aaaaand just found out about the ULPS option in Afterburner after some scoping around, but I don't think I can enable it per profile, I only want to disable PowerPlay for specific games, RadeonPro seems to do that, I just don't trust an outdated beta of a software that added support for "R" series GPU's as a swan song.
GPU-Z seems to report that I am still using the F1 bios (015.049.000.009.000000) even after a successful flash to the F51 bios with ATIFlash.
