When on a browser, sometimes in a game, my screen will jump about an inch up and down. It is fast, but slow enough to notice. I heard this was a problem with the new r9 series of cards (due to bios maybe?). Not sure what to do about this, any suggestions? 🙁
 


I'm sure Gigabyte will have some sort of solution to this problem. If you feel like it, go ahead and contact their support for further trouble shooting.
 



You could try looking around some more online, as there might be someone else with the same problem that was able to solve it.

Already tried, the fix is with sapphire and msi cards only right now.
 



Try following the steps that I suggested to Sparta, and see if you can find a fix for your particular card.

 


Yeah, Im pretty sure that there is a bios update for the msi card.

Glad to see you've found a fix! 😀
 
Updating did fix the problem, however performance in BF4 and other games has decreased significantly. Reverting back to old drivers. Can't have everything I guess.
 
Hi everyone, i have R9 270X by Sapphire and the flickering problem is still present nomatter that i installed (correctly) the latest drivers by AMD, where they say it fixes the problem, well it does not !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I dont know what to do?!?!?!?!? My whole life i've been using nVidia cards and never, NEVER had any problems, now that i decided to go with AMD.....look what happenes....i'm dissapointed.....
 


any errors when installing? They fixed it for me, but it came with HORRIBLE performance.
 


No problem during istallation, but the performance Did went down noticebly(sry for bad english).....Ohhh AMD, you are good, but not good enough...

 
I have the same problem with sapphire r9 270x dualx .. With 13.11 beta drivers flickering , also with 13.12 flickering ... although they say they have fixed it in 13.12 ... Mostly while in desktop, didnt notice it in games.. I also say wow amd... Im probably going back to nvidia soon... Glad I didnt get amd processor..
 
I also still have flickering in 13.12 Catalyst drivers with Sapphire Dual-X R9 270X. So you are not the only one. Hopefully the next catalyst driver release will address problem.
 
I too switched from nvidia to amd this time but I got an msi 270x. No flickering problems but I am having to drivers crash on me in rome 2 and crysis. All the other games are stable. Never had problems with nvidia drivers and really hoping amd fixes these issues.

I am not running any OC, only the factory OC to 1120. Anything above that and its gets unstable in every game.
