Greetings,
Apparently my old GPU (r9 290) knew that I'm looking to replace him. everything was working fine till yesterday, my GPU suddenly started acting up and there were constant driver crashes and "default radeon wattman settings have been restored due to unexpected system failure" messages. since then I have done the following:
1-clean install the driver multiple times using DDU. (whenever I install the driver screen goes black completely, I have tried multiple different versions and no luck).
2-updated my bios.
3-disconnect the card from motherboard and reconnect it again.
4-connect another cable to the integrated graphics card to verify it's not a cable issue. The screen connected to the integrated graphics card was working just fine and everything is normal, where the screen connected to r9 290 was showing some weird artifacts as shown below:
Help me out guys, is my GPU dying or what? I have no idea at this point. Also, what would you guys suggest as replacement? my budget is $400.
Thanks!
