Yeah I've known it's faulty for sure but when I tried to RMA it a few years ago I got nothing but automated responses and gave up. Would have exchanged it if I could but nothing I can do about that now. You guys know best, guess I'll be sticking to the 650 ha ha ha ha ha :(

Hey guys, I have an MSI R9 280x 3GB I bought new in 2014. Since I bought it I've had issues with overheating and major artifacting, which now causes BSODs and instability in windows. I have a GTX 650 Ti I've been using since I realized the source of my system instability, but the performance is...

Hey everybody, My issue is that I've been having blue screens (and occasionally red screens) of death every few minutes for the last few months. Any time the system is under any load at all the applications will start randomly closing and the pc will eventually crash. I first thought my install...

Found a spare jumper to try to reset cmos and that didn't work so I'll be buying a battery. Thanks man.

When I play less demanding games, such as source engine games, the clocks go down to the idle settings. This causes massive performance loss and a game...

I have had all sorts of trouble since day one with this card. Starting off, the drivers wouldn't install correctly, then as soon as they did I had bitcoin mining malware, and now I can't get reasonable framerates in games for this card. Prior to this card, I had a GTX 650 Ti 2gb with a mild...

Malwarebytes found malware, log says that it was svchost.exe and a bitcoin mining thing, but after quarantining, removing, and restarting I am still having the same issues. Tried wiping drivers and reinstalling. Checked connections. I really need some help.

As the title says, I just received my new R9 280x today, and I haven't been able to use it in any games. While at the desktop, MSI Afterburner reads 99% GPU Usage, with rare dips lower than that. I tried running Arma 3 on the lowest settings I could and the usage dropped very slightly but...
