I got my new 290 but it still has a frozen VRM 2 sensor and Grid Autosport would still black screen between races on the loading screen. I seem to have sorted out the black screen problem by using borderless windowed mode. The idle temps are quite high when viewing flash video (55c) but...

My card turned out to be a lemon. :( Black screen problems with Grid Autosport. My old GTX 670 works fine with it so I guess it couldn't be the power connectors. I'm going to send it back to the store and get another card.

GPU temp when watching a 60fps flash video gets up to 58c. That's quite hot. The GPU clock fluctuates between 483Mhz and 883Mhz. Does it really need to boost up like that just to play a video? >.<

Yeah it seems ok otherwise. I ran a few benchmarks such as 3DMark 11 (don't have the latest one) and the Metro Last Light benchmark and I played some games and the VRM 1 temp was under 70c and GPU temp was 72c. Thanks for the reply. :) Oh I forgot to mention VRM temp 2 didn't change at all...

Hello! Guys I just recently purchased a MSI R9 290 Gaming card but I have noticed the VRM 2 temp is stuck at 49c. Nothing I do makes it change from that. Is this a common problem with the cards or should I get a replacement? All the other temps are fine. This is bumming me out. :/
