AMD Catalyst bug reports [Eyefinity / Crossfire]

[KaRLiToS]

I hope it's just my problem, not that AMD crap again.


@ KaRLiToS
Probably one of the hottest rigs I've ever seen.

Hey bud thanks for the compliment.

I hope we will still get some support from this thread because I have some issues again with eyefinity + crossFire.

I have installed my 4930k in. It fix one of my issue with QuadFire. But I have another issue remaining. I have been trying to find it for almost 2 months now and I am lost.... completly.

I can run:
-QuadFire R9 290x on 1440p Panels via DVI
-Or each card individually in eyefinity 3 x 1440p (2 x DVI and 1 x display Port)

BUT
I cannot run CrossFire / Trifire or QuadFire in eyefinity, or I can't even with the display port output but its fine with the DVI outputs

Conclusion: Display Port output + CrossFire : Doesn't work.

I really don't know why, I have tried all of the drivers.

I am using that dongle on the Display Port monitor

I know its not the dongle (adapter) because I have tried two, I have tried them on each monitor and also Eyefinity works on single card. But when I try to run a game using eyefinity or a single monitor via the display Port output of the card, the monitors start flickering like if the display port is loosing signal.

I'm really tired of testing everything and trying everything I have in mind.

Swap card under with main card and see if that makes a difference i have eyefinity working through display port on my 290's in xfire

Well, they made new crossfire via PCI-E w\o bridges, I was guessing where's the trick)

KaRLiToS why wouldn't you try HDMI instead of DP? I was using 2 290X and 4 monitors, x3 for eyefinity and one more separately.
Eyefinity screens were connected through native DVIs and HDMI-DVI adapter, 4th monitor through native DP. Crossfire was working fine.

(Fortunately I have a bunch of old dongles from my old AMD card's boxes)

What type of adapters are you using and what kind of monitors? Input / output.

Thank you.

Because I use 1440p monitors (7680x1440)

Lol they haven't added HDMI 2.0 support.

- Rig details. ASUS Maximus VI Hero V.1301, i5-4670K stock speeds, ASUS R9290-DC2OC-4GD5 catalyst 13.251, Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (2x4gb) 2133 XMP, Windows 8.1 64 bit, Crorsair ax760 PSU, Corsair H100i, Samsung 840 EVO 120gb SSD (OS), Western Digital Caviar Blue 1Tb HDD, ASUS VX238H-W monitor.
- Driver details. From ASUS SUpport Downloads-ATI Display Driver 13.251WHQL and VBIOS update for R9290-DC2OC-4GD5
- after launching a game- if the game is server based, the screen will hiccup and/or freeze on server selection screen. Windows alert will pop up with ...has stopped responding but has recovered. (im at work and dont remember exactly what it said at the moment, sorry. once the game has loaded (or if its a single player game) the screen will lock up/freeze about 30 sec to 1 minute in game. only way out is CTRL+ALT+DEL end program, or hard shutdown if that doesnt work.
- Workarounds, none that I am aware of.
- unfortunately, this is a brand new rig, and I have no other GPU to test.

To Do: I plan on using AMD's site and installing the Catalyst software suite 13.12 after I run driver sweeper. If that doesnt work, Ill will attempt the new 14.2 beta. Also thought of trying 2 seperate PCIe cables from PSU to GPU, as opposed to the 8-pin pcie to 6+2 & 6+2 cable the AX 760 came with.

Have tried: reinstalling drivers, reinstalling windows 8.1, disabling intel graphics, disabling AMD audio, uninstalling Google Chrome.

should i stick to the old driver for less problem.

Hi,
Everything works great with 14.4 but either 14.6 or 14.8 causes flickers on the desktop and black screens. I have tried this in both win 7 64 and win8.1 64 recent install. I have a 144hz capable benq monitor attached by a duallink dvi cable. I have tried clean install methods. I have a 1200 watt psu running a single card X58 setup. Day I installed card experienced similar instability and 'fixed' it by updating the bios from the Asus support page for the 290x oc2 directcu card. Was weird that after bios flash the device name changed according to the post flash result notes. Now same asus flash utility won't run stating can't find bios file. Anyhow runs great on 14.4 but anything later kills it. Could it be the monitor?

Thanks.

Hello!
I have problem with my Matrix HD 7970 Platinum GPU. If I want to overclock/underclock GPU, 13.12 is the only Catalyst which I can use. Currently I have installed Omega driver and I can not do anything with driver itself, ASUS GPUTweak and MSI Afterburner. Couple hours ago I tested GPU under Linux and everything is OK.
Help please!
