Had issues with my 290x Bf4 edition, so I did the following to troubleshoot:
-RMA'd the card. Got a brand new Sapphire 290x Tri-X OC. Only hitting 35-42 idling, fan usage 20%
-Upgraded PSU to EVGA Nova G2 750W
-Completely uninstalled all old drivers and installed new AMD drivers
-BIOS/Chipset up-to-date
-Windows 7 SP1 up-to-date
System Specs:
MSI 790GX-G65 motherboard
AMD 1090t CPU
Sapphire 290x Tri-X video card
G.Skill DDR3 8GB
Windows 7 64-bit, SP1
m4 256gb SSD
EVGA Supernova G2 750w PSU
I have NO problems with my old card (MSI HD6950), only the 290x's are giving me problems. Is my motherboard just not compatible with them? Driver issues---but I'm not blue/black screening.
Thoughts???
