[Zeratul]

Hello I'm having graphical anomalies (flickering and some artifacts etc.) with the following card Msi r9280x Gaming, Playing Battlefield 4 Under Dx11 and Mantle, for now I've used both the default graphics settings and also tried lowering the settings. Same result and I am getting a random flicker in game, and update the latest bios, delivered msi forums, but still happen, all they say is that I hope a new driver.... i need hel please


i was testing using FurMark / 3d Mark/ Uningine Heaven / Valley and also i play tomb raider 2013 Full Graphics and no problem

i was testing last beta and same problem.....

Furmark Test 2hrs no problem.....

You should perform completely clean driver installation.

1. Uninstall current driver.
2. Use Display Driver Uninstaller.
3. Install newest available driver from AMD.

Also, if it doesn't help, maybe reflash BIOS to older version?

This problem occurs only with BF4?

this problem happens to me in battlefield 4 watch dogs, was playing tom raider 2013 without any problem, perform test heaven, valley, 3d mark,FurMark and no problem, not to do, if any user of this 280x solve the problem ... .............

I've noticed also happens independent of the load having the video card.

try different pci-e port, you may have to reset your mobo bios

has no relation, and use the card in another motherboard, and the same problem

 

[st2000]

have you tried downclock memory frequency/downscale voltage/increase power consumption in ccc?
also fill in specs

BIOS reset is actually a good idea.

Post your system specs so we know what you have to work with.

Consider updating the motherboard's BIOS if there is a newer one available.

this:

The problem is msi says your bios is corrected, Game Problem Driver etc....

This is the final reply before this thread will be locked. We can't help you with a BF4 issue unrelated to a certain MSI product. As you have already seen it is affecting all manufacturers cards obviously due to being a general issue with BF4 and cards with AMD gpu. You have the latest vbios and there is no other.

Msi support say no... the vga is Okey

Post your system specs so we know what you have to work with.

i found

Main Processor: Fx 8320 @ 4.0
Main Board: 970A-Ud3p
Ram Memory: Kingston Hyperx Blue 8 Gigas
Video Card : Msi R9 280x Gaming Edition
Psu: Cooler Master Gx 650 W (80 Plus)
Cpu Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper T4
Operating System: Window 8.1

has no relation the bios..... before i was using i5 3470 and b75m- A and the same problem....

[Zeratul]

tried downclock frequency = same problem.... tried downclock memory frequency Testing now.....

So I just did some research on your video card.
Look at the picture I'm posting. Your GPU has a dual bios.
The blue and red arrow points to the switch between BIOS #1 & #2. Turn off your system and change to the other BIOS, then test it out for a while at stock settings.
This may "fix" the card.

I have the same problem using it ......... already had tried

Use this

If it finds no issues then its BF4/AMD drivers and not the card

 

[MrGenius]

Which brand VRAM does it have? If it has Hynix , I actually recommend overclocking it. Considerably. I run mine at 1850, and it's never produced artifacts.

IS NOT THE GAME, IS NOT THE DRIVER, IS MSI AND R9 SERIES, : http://raptr.com/bar0/news/5530ceef32f4b85dd7/r9-280x-gta-v-artifacts

Are you saying that this happens in Watch Dogs too? Since I updated to the latest 15.4 beta drivers Watch Dogs, especially crossfire performance, went through the roof, and so did the problems. Artifacts and flickering followed by my system shutting down. Both GPUs were at 100% and my system got so hot when I took off the side panel it was like opening an oven. Only happens with Watch Dogs and Sleeping Dogs (coincidence?) after the driver update.

Sorry, Iam upset with msi, not with you, they blame the user. That bothers me

 

[MrGenius]

I have the same card. I play BF4 everyday. I have no issues whatsoever, in that game or any other. I have my card oc'ed to 1175/1850 with Core Voltage +94% Power Limit +99%(modded BIOS). It's gaming stable all day long no problem.

And switch to a different driver. 15.4 is dogshit for these cards(pardon the pun). 15.3(BEST) or 14.12.

Try the 14.12 driver and don't use mantel in BF4 its a known source of issues.
If it still fails simply RMA the card they can't refuse it and if they send the same one or another broken one back test it with the memory test linked previously to prove it is defective.
Most GPU stress test programs simply load the gpu core which is not the problem with most of these faulty 280X's from MSI.
