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:
I probably wouldn't ask, I have over the past half a year passed the warranty 4 killed brutal overclocking. And last year handed over a map which I initially dropped (with waterblock), bent, and then filled with refrigerant, then it shorted out and she died.
Actually, I think that the updates (BIOS is part of the software) provided by the official producer does not violate the warranty. Although to be honest I didn't ask this question, I was a little worried.

If artefact only in BF, then try to start the game through the proverbial Mantle, I am sure that after this everything will be fine..
Actually, I think that the updates (BIOS is part of the software) provided by the official producer does not violate a guarantee I think so too, how could it be otherwise? I bought a map with the default release of new firmware itself proposes to update the BIOS. This is the same normal phenomenon. Developers are improving the optimization of its products, working out bugs our right to use it, even a necessity. Or sit two to three years (depends on the warranty) nothing to update? While the warranty will take place and the card will expire )) I once bought a new, just launched GPU Tweak and installed the latest firmware offered by the program (developers) and then periodically check for the appearance fresh. So, in principle do for all iron, I think it is right, the computer always works fine, no problems there.

Well, so far it seems to have not noticed when Mantle is enabled. Well, another set of driver 14.7 Beta, textures are twitching and disappear(well, that's probably because of beta drivers) :)

The picture do not pay attention, this cant website.
In short,issue campaign decided to reinstall Windows, well I have a cooler set is now 50% and the graphics card heats up to 60-65 degrees

hi the same problem as you only I have 2 TCS ASUS R9 280x DirectCU II TOP and one is now not working stupidly does not turn on at first, both were artifacts in BF4 and Dayz Standalone (also slipped in Batman.Arkham Origins)
In General, I bought ASUS R9 280x DirectCU II TOP despite the problems about which you write on the forums.
Fixed the map, rolled wood launched wolfenstein new order and......the artifacts showed itself in all its glory, tried a lot of games where the artifacts appeared, where it appeared...but not in such numbers. Update BIOS from off site does not help, the artifacts remain.
Contacted ASUS tech support said that most likely the marriage of memory and sent under warranty. Passed in SC, writing for this video, where artifacts are present, said that in synthetic benchmarks there are no problems - exchanged without problems.
Got new card installed, the wood just came on, YAY! You say? But it was not there, the artifacts became less (noticeable) and only in 2 games - World Of Tanks and Call of Duty: Ghost. Empirically found that the settings of the shadows (turned off shadows - lost artifacts).
Decide again to update the BIOS and ......The PROBLEM has DISAPPEARED completely =)
So if the BIOS update has not helped You - feel free to get in service.
PS. The card is great =)

All good, but the problem is that updating your BIOS voids your warranty, what warns the program updates before you begin.
So the first map in SC, and let them update the BIOS

What you bribed inspectors in SC, so these killed the cards?! O_O
Or you work there, or walk with a gun on the edge, an explosive belt and help all the belly with the words CRAZY!!!?!

Standard softina from ASUS to update the BIOS? Show me the line of void the warranty, and what is heresy.

License agreement this softiny not know about ASUS, but Gigabyte and Acer GDSs two years ago warned that if anything goes wrong, you can lose the warranty
But I have poyavlyayutsa in games and 3DMark are artefacte on XFX 280X, i5-4570,MSI Z87, PSU 600 WATTS
