So recently i got 2 R9 280Xs (not new), one is the GV-R928XOC-3GD (rev 3.0) from Gigabyte and the other is the XFX Black Edtion. Both of them look like new.
I installed the XFX one on my PC first, installed the drivers and runned games like GTA V, WWE 2K17, Skyrim, Spore, Rust, GTA IV and Chivalry Medieval Warfare with no problems aside from some almost unnoticeable minor artifacts for like 2 days or more, until one day it suddenly began artifacting a lot while i was playing, and some very strange lines began showing on my screen, like on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nGzGA20f5g (skip to 0:35).
I switched to the Gigabyte one and got the EXACT same problems (wich made me believe it wasn't a problem on the GPUs). It was annoying AF but i still could play, like it could crash in 5 minutes of gameplay or i could play several straight hours without a single artifact. But yesterday, i started up WWE 2K18 and soon when i started a match it would crash violently, sometimes leaving me no choice but to take out the pc and restart. Here's a screenshot of what it showed right after the crash
And now i can't play for 5 minutes straight without crashing or artifacting. I tried underclocking it, downloading old drivers, updating the BIOS, turning the fan speed to 100% but nothing could permanently solve my problem. I didn't witness any crashing or those malefic lines that appears on the screen on any other games aside from WWE 2K18 and 2K17, but on games like Chivalry, Paladins and Mortal Kombat X there were some minor artifacts, like showed in these screenshots (Chivalry):
Less than 1 year ago i was using a GTX 770 that wasn't new too and didn't notice anything like these errors. So i ask you guys, what could my problem possibly be? my system specs are:
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3H
RAM: 2x4GB Corsair Vengenace
PSU: Corsair TX750
Processor: i5 3330
The SO is on a Kingston 120gb SSD
GPUs: Gigabyte R9 280x GV-R928XOC-3GD and XFX R9 280x Black Edition
Thanks in advance and sorry if the text was sh1t i'm not used to forums (and sorry for my english too, it's not my main language)
