Help with screen crashes!!!

I don't know why people get so turned off at the color scheme.. you barely see any of it when its actually in the PC anyway. Besides they have the Vapor-X variant of the cooler and its a light blue color. Its the same card but its higher clocked.

The Sapphire Vapor-X is expensive but very, very good. Unlike the Tri-x however it isn't a reference PCB so if you're planning to WC you won't want to get it. It runs very cool as well. Shame its only 290x.

The Vapor-X is also available in the 290? At least in the States.

i wish it was available here. the only 290's i've been able to find in Aus are the Gigabyte Windforce, MSI Gaming, Sapphire Tri-X and Asus DirectCUII

EDIT- wow, i was just looking at some benchmarks for the 290 Vapor-x and they're awesome, matching and even beating 290x's and 780's, it even challenged 780 ti's in a couple of tests. so here is my question, how much difference is there between the Vapor-x and the Tri-x?

 

[NeverBackDown]

The tri-x has a reference amd pcb. The vapor-x has a custom pcb and a slightly higher OC than the tri-x card. Those are the only two i am aware of.

cheers for that, i reckon the Tri-X is the go then, assuming the people at the store i got my 280x from don't give me trouble about a refund

it can be many things which youll need to die it down to

Heat can cause graphical problems
also the GPU not being placed correctly or the port on the mobo being faulty

What happens if you raise to voltage on stock clocks, do you still get crashes? anyway, its an rma

This happened to my 270 PCS from scan and they told me there was nothing wrong with it, so I had to sell it on here for £70 at £50 loss... Hope you have better luck mate.
