ASUS R9 280x DirectCU II TOP problem
Hi, the problem I have. After a week of use began to show artifacts in games . Took it to STS and it tested 4.5 hours, said that the defect is not detected. Searched the Google and found a very interesting thing http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?43057-R9-280x-DirectCU-II-Top-Artifacts!! .The problem is not just me alone.I put the beta drivers 14.6 and 14.4 artifacts were also. They manifest themselves most in Battlefield 4, Watch Dogs, War Thunder did not notice.
Computer configuration
i5 3570K not overclocked
Asus P8Z77-V LX
Kingston HyperX 8GB
Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W
Windows 8.1 64bit
Maybe the PSU is weak?
Here is a video with artifacts:

If the addition of the voltages and update the BIOS of the video card does not help, then I don't even know what to do :)

What you wrestle with Furemark drive - if the video card prohetic test without errors and artifacts - so the problem is software/drivers/conflicts with the need... and if not - feel free to carry in SC or back to the store if there is a guarantee.
Furmark frankly not the best test to check for errors (I use OCCP but right now is not about that)
Load vdroop to 1.12 v. This may be a problem.
DartMaul
Good, but is it possible to fix?
If you raise the voltage, then tell me how?)
Using a program to overclock the cards of course.
MSI Afterburner or Asus'ovsky GPU Tweak. Actually, Afterburner is considered the best and most convenient, but if there are some special perks and DC2 they will be available only via GPU Tweak
DartMaul
Opened MSI Afterburner and see here is, as I understand it should be 1200
P. S: Core Voltage (mV) 1144 instead of 1200, and the ASUS GPU Tweak GPU Voltage (mV) 1200
MisterMIKL
Core Voltage (mV) 1200 1144 instead
It is in the monitor or in the settings?
Try to put 1.2 v through AB and run furmark, will look much the actual voltage on the GPU.
DartMaul This is a great test to check for artifacts, quality and overclocking (if any), if not the best, it loads all the conveyors/the memory, and if there were problems with overheating GP/ Memory test would have been in the 10th minute krasilka sypya artifacts. So the problem must be sought elsewhere, I'm sure at 99% and I understand that the artifacts are only in battle 4?

Plays no role, the error of the voltage sensor card.

He didn't ship the memory and not checking for errors.
If in the settings of the 2 programs show different values, it is not the accuracy of the sensor (in fact this may not be the error of the sensor as the sensor is one and whatever he said he said the same thing both programs), is a software bug. So it is necessary to raise the voltage a little higher, you can start from 1.21 v.

This is the error tembolee different programs remove the data according to various algorithms, All programs which are based on Riva Tuner will show the same data, but assume softina written by ASUS will show other data (+/-), respectively, if the ASUS card is known to be accurate readings will be in the program written by the producer.
And about the RAM - if I remember correctly in Furmark'e have changed the plugin VMT (Video Memory stress Test) but if to speak in essence I had the same problem with the 780 ti, with 20-30 minutes of the game started artifacty shadows on stretches of the road, and textures at a great distance (which is, in principle, often), then over time, friezes, drove formaram - the base of the bagel flickered, began to wrestle with it, took it to SP I master in 15 minutes, said that problems with memory (which is not typical for 780), too sinned on overheating, but it turns out the problem appeared as you fill VRAM....

Artifacts popping up only in BF 4 and it happens that the round you can play without them, look in GPU Tweak there is a GAMING mode ,you can try to turn it on.
P. S: I would have long changed to gtx 770, but as SC said the defect is not detected
All kind of buggy r9 280x line cards or I have something wrong . The BIOS of the video card you can upgrade (there is a fix for artifacts)
