Hey /g/, sorry to bother you with what is essentially tech support, but I have urgent need of help or at least some directions
I have a R9 280X with the latest drivers from AMD (16.8 beta ones), essentially updated everything since the problem has been showing up and nothing has helped me
The problem first strated coming up in June, after I updated to the most recent catalyst suite (at the time).
Currently, whenever a stream of video or media is played on this machine, the GPU will just regurgitate this on screen. Sometimes It will revert as soon as the source is terminated, other times it will require a restart.
I've already contacted AMD support and they said "just fill this survey and put this string at the end of it" 7 full days ago.
Thanks for anything you can give me.

Sounds like you should have just bought a pre-built.

Could have very well been a prebuilt, I built it over 2 years ago and it worked like the first day I booted it up until I updated the video drivers. I scrambled left and right to update everything else that was outdated hoping it would alleviate the problem, at least, but it didn't
Weird thing is it only shows up when I'm using video-related stuff, mostly from browsers and video players. I've searched around and found nothing, feels like I'm the only person to ever encounter this problem

Have you un-installed those drivers and downgraded to a last known working set of drivers yet?
Have you changed over to another set of cables between your monitor and your gpu yet?
Before installing this newest set of drivers did you run DDU in safe mode first or did you install over the old drivers?

raise power limit in afterburner. this is a common problem with AMD's rebranded cards.

No, because I do not remember which was the last set of working drivers
Yes, it's an HDMI cable and it's definitely not the issue
No, Installed over via catalyst suite updater, because I'm a dumbass

How much?

That's what you get for buying pajeet cards.

So find the earliest version of the driver you can, dump it into the root of c:, reboot into safe mode, nuke the old and install the new. Rinse and repeat till you find the spastic driver, roll back to the good one and see if you can work out if that specific version conflicts with anything else on your system.
Firmware versions/updates may be worth checking as well.

I'm running out of manufacturers to run from m8, I still need a fucking graphic card, all of them gave me bitter pills to swallow in the past and if the trend keeps up, there's going to be more waiting for me in the future
>>56399834
I guess that's my nuclear option now, as soon as I find a reliable method to reproduce it. Thanks

>>56399503
Go back to your last drivers and wait for better drivers to come out.

this is what you get for trusting poo in loo

Upgrade to an NVidia™ GeForce® GTX 10-series graphics card.
