Thread: Amd R9 270 Ref, need advice.

    Default Amd R9 270 Ref, need advice.

    Ok so here is the story. I used this GPU earlier this year on my system where it worked flawlessly. I then sold it to a user on Carbonite and after a week of testing on his side on two systems he told me when he plays games that it will freeze about 5 minutes into gameplay. I refunded the user and decided I will use the GPU in my daughters I5 system. Same thing happened there. Today I decided to test the GPU on my system again, no issues at all, works like a boss. Now this baffels me completely, what can be the issue on the other systems? On the other systems I also played around with different driver versions, underclocked the GPU etc. All systems ran Windows 10 64 bit, all systems had/has a sufficient PSU in it. Ram on all systems is 8GB plus.

    seems to be operating normally

    Ok, but seriously, the only things I can think of is :

    - Buggered card
    - Not getting enough power from PSU on the rail
    - Drivers

    I had the same thought about a faulty PSU, why I used the same PSU to test on all systems, even the same RAM lol. Oddly enough when I put a GTX 760 on the other systems no issue, when I put the AMD on the other systems it freezes in games. Really bugging the crap out of me lol, oh well.

    Wow, that's really odd.

    Yeah, I am more curious at what causes this and what makes my system so "special". I am going to replace the GPU anyways, just very curious now.
