Try GPU-z and see what the readings are there.
There is more wrong than just the memory reading in that screenshot you posted.
It is missing ROP's, Pixel fill count, Bus width and Band width, also the die size is suspect as I think it should be half that size.

Has this card been bios flashed?
I can find the card in the bios data base but it doesn't list Micron memory.

the overclock version of the card is here: http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/153454/sapphire-r9290-4096-140115
but only lists Hynix memory.
If the card has a dual Bios switch try moving it to the other position.

I try the Uefi but become Only Blackscreen ;(

and have the same Data like the Normal Bios

yeah i Try flash the card after become this "400k Memory" "error" ^^

 

[Caring1]

Restore the BIOS back to stock if you can, try the switch first if the card has it.

 

[KennySSL]

i dont have the Normal Bios this is My Problem ;/

but i Only flash the Normal Bios The Uefi is Not flashed

Iunno man, that 4095.9TB of VRAM looks good.

Did you try both of the bios that were linked? i suspect its the non OC one packing elpida memory.

 

[KennySSL]

yes i try the Bios but does not Change the Memory Size =///

You have the correct driver installed? In GPU-Z it lists no Catalyst driver.

 

[Kanan]

das liegt nicht an denn Treibern leider ;/

hab aufm Anderen rechner alles installiert und switch dann hin und her ^^

da ich ja auf der GPU kein Bild bekomme

Yeah Driver installed.

Okay. Entweder das Bios ist falsch oder die GPU ist kaputt, noch Garantie?

Aaannndd I lost you guys.

 

[KennySSL]

if anyone knows how I can edit the vram please report otherwise I have to apply for reclamation at Resseler

Try to contract Sapphire and see if they have the bios u need laying around it doesn't hurt to ask.

On a side note I noticed that there is a "New Edition" of this card so wondering what kind of problems Sapphire have had since they released a new edition.

Where did you buy this, out of curiosity?

It kind of behaves like the counterfeit/fake Geforce cards behave under GPU-Z. I don't know if there's a such thing as a "counterfeit" Radeon though.

 

[Kanan]

Aaannndd I lost you guys.

I just told him to check the drivers and bios (and that he can find bioses on TPU). And the card is whether broken or the bios is faulty and that he should use warranty if he still has on the card.

 

[Caring1]

Sounds shady to me, but I have a suspicious mind.
It would be easier to reflash the card, than edit the BIOS to make it appear to be working correctly (most likely for resale).

Y'know this also happens when you just install a driver and don't restart your PC or the overclocking tool you use. A restart will fix that.

Just sayin'. No idea why we started off with BIOS swaps.

 

[KennySSL]

This is not a GPU -z or Tryx problem- the problem lies in the Bios have litecoints degraded and my pc Stuck and need restart after restart i have this trouble
