Anyone knows about amd's fixing drivers that they will be released to fix the artifacts from the r9 280x toxic edition OR Any other solution to fix the artifacts from r9 280x edition

[Chris_Redfield]

I bought the r9 280x toxic edition but i didnt knew the only disadvantage of this card , the artifacts , the only thing that bothers me is the artifacts and i heard a lot of people saying that amd is working on new drivers and they will release this fixing drivers for the artifacts of this card , if anyone knows a solution to stop the artifacts from the r9 280x plz let me now i need help plz!

Notice :

1. The card is at stock clock i didnt use the automatic overclock(boost)

2. I use the amd 14,7 Drivers for windows 8,1 64 bit

HERE -> 3. If anyone knows a solution to stop the artifacts from the r9 280x toxic edition plz add me in steam and let me now i need help plz!

I have an r9 280x, no artifacting here and this is the first I've heared of it.

Ps, using 14.7 rc3 / win 7 64

go check at google and youtube a lot of people have problems : issues and artifacts with r9 280x windows 8 and windows 7 with any driver

What are the temps in GPUz log files fan and load %s?

Ie, mine hits 75c at 42% fan and 99% - 100% load on a fairly warm day 24c - 26c outside last week.

Artifacting is normally an overheating issue with the graphics card - overclocking, hot memory, or even damaged memory. If it's a brand new purchased graphic card, get it replaced, it will only get worst over time. Drivers don't cause artifacting, well yes AMD drivers are utter rubbish (they have even started using third party drivers such as Mantle to fix their issues), but still shouldn't be the problem for artifacts (if they are artifacts)? That would be some seriously poor programming, in which someone should be fired.

You could try to downgrade drivers, underclock it, ensure good airflow, etc, but i recommend RMA that card - most likely faulty hardware.

My pc gets hot enough maybe that cause the trouble? what do u think? but i gave my pc to the shop to test the graphics card and they said to me that they tested it and the card is fine the drivers are the problem and that i should wait for new drivers from amd to download to fix the issues

Well first of all - 14.7 AMD Catalyst Drivers are Beta.

Ensure you have the latest Microsoft .NET4.5 Framework for it to work too:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-nz/download/details.aspx?id=30653

If you already have that or didn't help, downgrade your AMD drivers to the so-called stable version - 14.4.

When turned off, open the case. Clean out any dust, clean up any airflow cable blockage (tidy the cables around the edges or behind the motherboard if possible). You should have an air tunnel from front/bottom fans intake, through to high/back extract fan(s). Note the graphic card is at a lower level, therefore ensure air can flow there as well under the card to it's fans and out the back. Ensure all fans are working and in the correct direction. Finally move the PC away from walls or low ceilings such as the underneath of a desk (that can cause hot pockets - static air which doesn't escape). Hot air will rise up then needs somewhere to escape, avoid cycling any hot air back through the system.

Ok i will try the net 4,5 framework net , Yes ofc i have used the 14,4 drivers and older drivers but the best experience without so many artifacts was with the 14,7 drivers but still artifacts didnt dissapear completely and yes i know that the 14,7 are beta . Also yes my pc is clean there is no dust , oh.. my pc is underneath of my desk like this https://www.google.gr/search?q=pc+wooden+desk&biw=1600&bih=754&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=FJQmVIzyKYL1apSNgaAK&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=k5xGoRIituJw_M%253A%3Brh23fTcPXd5ysM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwdeck.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2014%252F06%252FSolid-Wood-Home-Office-Desks-With-Computer-Desk-Contemporary-Office-Furniture-Solid-Wood-Desk.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwdeck.com%252F11629%252Fsolid-wood-home-office-desks%252Fsolid-wood-home-office-desks-with-corona-corner-pc-desk%252F%3B500%3B411

WTF are you talking about?

Mantle isn't third party anything and it certainly isn't a driver AMD use to fix issues. Not going into that one any deeper than that.

OP has a specific issue which is with the Sapphire Toxic edition card, not all cards are affected and if you bothered to use google before issuing useless advice you'd see that Sapphire have acknowledged the problem and are working on a Vbios to fix the issue, RMAing the card will just take weeks to end up with another broken card.

OP, head to Sapphires website, register your card and start up a support ticket, tell them you have artifacts and they'll tell you where they are up to with fixing the issue. Its not AMD who have to fix their drivers but Sapphire who have to fix their BIOS.

Master Disaster - Mantle is open source, third party software, which AMD decided to make use of and bundle into their own graphic drivers. Even Nvidia could of used it, but decided not to, rather just wait for DirectX 12 which will do similar low level graphic calls. It depends on the games if they support it or not. However, it's greatly improved AMD graphic cards, because it's not actually their software, rather a community of gamers did it. Don't believe me, look it up.

Anyways, it's that desk which is most likely the issue, hot pocketing air at the back with no where to escape. Therefore building up over time and re-entering the system... causing overheating issues. Problem should hopefully be solved by changing that.

Mantle is AMD owned proprietary technology which AMD decided to keep open source. Its not third party in anyway, it was designed, built and is owned by AMD. I don't have to look anything up because i know for a fact it was created by AMD in conjunction with DICE for BF4.

Also its a KNOWN ISSUE with Sapphire 280X Toxic cards which needs to be fixed with a Vbios update.
