Sounds like an isolated incident?

Hmmm I do noticed a problem but I think it's msi ab. Every now and then, when I login back to my pc, fan kicks in to the highest setting in fan profiles (I set mine to 50% when temps are > 75c) even though temps are only 36-ish. Anyone experiencing this? or knows a fix for this?

That's AB for you. I don't run any control thru my gpu fans, putting aside that they are watercooled. The point is I run pwm on the pump thru the cpu and so in turn the gpus are controlled by this same pwm. In essense you can unplug your gpu fan pwm and run it off the cpu header. It's much better control imo, though I don't know how good MSI's pwm control is. I love it on the asus boards.

I am going to oc using ccc and remove msi ab. I will just run auto fan settings. With auto fan setting, my gpu only goes up to around 76c-78c (depending on ambient, sometimes ac is off) when gaming for hours. These temps are acceptable for reference right?

I did have it installed until I found out that Avivo is totally broken with 12.9. I had 12.6 with Avivo working flawlessly, but when I tried out 12.9 it wouldn't work. I did notice 12.9 opened up faster, but didn't notice any frame improvements on my games. I had to revert back to 12.6 as I use Avivo almost everyday. I also thought I read that the flickering issue while having multiple monitors and your card overclocked using overdrive was fixed, but it isn't mad.gif

I've been getting screen flickering (is this what people are talking about when they say texture flickering?) since 12.6, I'm now using the 12.9 beta drivers, seems even more common than 12.8, anyone else getting this? Setup is HDMI>HDMI monitor

It seems to be happening everytime I reboot my PC now, if I move the mouse around the screen flickers, I tried changing the mouse USB port and it stopped flickering so much but it was still happening, completely unplugging the HDMI cable from the back, waiting a couple seconds and putting it back seems to fix it entirely and it won't happen again until I reboot.

I can play games fine, the temperature never goes over 63c during Furmark benchmark tester, I tried without the extra DVI>HDMI cable plugged in to my TV and it still happens. This is after a system wipe and reinstall aswell. Are ATI just incompetent with their drivers or is my card dying? I can't see how it's the card if simply unplugging the cable fixes it and I can play games without artefacts etc.

Edit: after reading some posts further up it seems to have something to do with overclocking? Well I use Sapphire Trixx to overclock and I haven't even enabled the ATI Overdrive settings, suggestions?

I'm not sure if trixx can disable poweplay, but thats what you need to disable if you are getting 3d clock induced flicker. If your flicker is happening all teh time, then you should try reinstalling the driver.


Afterburner can run in a mode that essentially disabled powerplay.

Quote:
Now go back and open MSIAfterburner.cfg in notepad.

Scroll to bottom and change this:

[ATIADLHAL]
UnofficialOverclockingEULA =
UnofficialOverclockingMode = 0

to this:

[ATIADLHAL]
UnofficialOverclockingEULA = I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it
UnofficialOverclockingMode = 1


**Note on the mode setting. Some new games are causing clock conflicts with Powerplay creating flickering on the dekstop. You can avoid this by choosing 2, instead of 1. I am running with Powerplay off. Look Mom, no flickering. biggrin.gif

My finds with 12.9..

Significant performance boosts over 12.8, not necessarily higher FPS, but higher averages, noted in BF3, Skyrim, that's all I've tried, will try GW2.

Some issues with Skyrim, if you have shadows on ultra they don't show up, which is really odd, but not a huge deal.

I haven't had any issues except that and they seem to be a great set of drivers for me.
