Hey guys so it's been like 3 Months now since I got my Sapphire R9-280X
Toxic.
Before we move on here is my settings on my GPU and GPU related programs that I run during gaming
Driver13.12
MSI Afterburner 3.0.0 Beta 19
RivaTunerStatisticsServer 6.1.0
CCC
My GPU setting it's all Stock , except Fan Profile
1150 Core , 1600 Memory
PowerLimit 0%
So here's the thing, everything works fine and all. But it's been 3 cases so far, all sudden while gaming I experiencing Artifacts.
But get this , strange thing bout it is because , it's all fine most the time , for example I was playing Wticher 2 , SC II for hours and hours, days then all sudden one day, bang while half way in game It just started showing Artifacts.
Rather serious too , but when I turn off the game and restart playing again it's gone and no longer show up or maybe till sometime in future randomly , but so far nothing.
My most recent case was rather serious , was in Metro Last Light , there's like an intro animation whenever you startup the game , so when I got to the Main Menu , which you have to click Start / Press any Key , I've already experiencing Artifacts , and for first time , it was very laggy too and my CPU Usage was very high 90% ++ when I click Start / Press any Button to enter further into the menu. My PC totally lock up , CPU Usage at 100% , I can't
Alt + Tab , Alt + F4 can't even Ctrl + Alt + Delete nothing.
Had to do a restart my PC. But after that I try entering the game again and it's all fine , no problems at all.
I do saw some people posting that they have Artifacts when gaming with a 280X Toxic , but I think for their cases , it's more like a constant one , while mine it's like a totally random one , and sudden more likely , as I said I was like gaming for hours one time , all sudden the Artifacts just kicks in out of nowhere.
People claim tweaking the Clock speed might fix it or even increasing the PowerLimit
I've experience Artifact before , back then it's because of AMD's Driver , you guys should know that. But that happen in all the games and constantly too.
This is very strange and worrying , do you guys have any idea ??
