Hi guys
I got a R9 290x TRI-X 4gig SC( 1040 / 1300 ) and i have this problem with my gpu clock that drops while gaming and i know its not a

temperature issue because on full load i run beteween 65 and 71 celcius. my PSU is a EVGA supernova 1000watts . My cpu is a I7 4770k

oc at 4400mhz and i got a MSI board GD65 . My OS is WIN 8.1 X64 on a mSATA and game on a mecanical hd seagate 7200rpm.

I dont know if it throttling but my drop are not regular and it can go to a drop of 50mhz as well as 400mhz .

What can i do ?? Any suggestion.......

I think it's supposed to be doing that as that is powerplay at work.
Dynamically changing the clocks based on the load.
You can download RadeonPro to force full 3d clocks on the games you have it with.

The 50mhz drop sounds like boost clock? (I know the 290 has a 947core>1000coreboost

Not sure if those 290X models do that.

Drops to around 500mhz are normal for media playback but not sure if it would do that in games.........

Is it an actual problem? ie are you getting frame drops in line with these clock drops?

Or are you just worried what you're seeing is odd?

Make sure you're running the latest official drivers from AMD.(Not betas)

Could also try using increasing power limit to the card if it's throttling under load. (I think you should disable graphics overdrive in CCC first - but don't quote me on that)

Most people will use MSI afterburner or sapphire trixx to do any clock changing and power increases due to CCC being a bit dodgy.

I always turn hardware acceleration off in the internet options. (In IE it's called use software acceleration when possible I think........)

I think it has something to do with what you are saying and it can cause some odd issues and instability.
