Sapphire Rx 480 Nitro+ 8GB Multi-color screen/ Crashing/Freezing

  • Hi! I bought sapphire rx 480 Nitro+ last 2/16. Bakit po may multi-color(pink, brown, light blue, or sometimes green) screen then ngccrash/ freeze? Pagrestart ko minsan, I can hear brute force fan spin for a short period of time. Is it a driver, temp issue or need ko ng replacement?

    Note: Naeexperience ko sya while playing DOTA or overwatch. Binabaan ko na settings from ultra to medium pero ganon pa din and sometimes ngfflicker ung screen.

    Pc specs:

    Seasonic M12II-620 EVO
    MSI B150A Gaming M3
    G.Skill Ripjaws V 2x8GB2400
    Intel Core i5-6500 Skylake
    Deep Cool Gammaxx 400
    Samsung 850 EVO 120GB
    Seagate 2TB
    Sapphire rx 480 nitro+ OC 8GB
  • possible issue with the video card since it happens on more than one game. Test on more games and see if it happens on all of them

    if issue happens on all games you play, have it checked by the shop where you purchased it.
  • what driver version are you using right now?

  • im using rx 480 8gb nitro+ oc

    i never encountered this kind of problem while playing any high end games like doom vulkan, battlefield 1, resident evil and batman arkham.

    tingin ko gpu problem sir.
  • Thanks! I've reported it to the shop na po. I'll have a replacement tom wala daw kasi stock. I noticed too na parang di masyado umiikot ung fan kaya super init ng gpu as in untouchable sa init. Pero kaya naman ng specs ng pc ko to right? Do i need to add cooling fans? 2 fans (1 rear + 1 front) + gammaxx lang kasi gamit ko. My case is NZXT Phantom 240.
  • walang problema sa specs mo sir, kung tutuusin eto lang specs ng PC ko sir..

    thermaltake 700w
    ssd 128gb
    hdd 1tb
    i5 2400 (<-- cheap haha)
    h61 mobo
    tecware alpha
    16gb 1333mhz
    yan lang ang specs ng pc ko pero sir wala akong naramdaman na bottleneck po,

    about naman sa init cooling fans or etc mag set ka ng fan curve ng GPU mo, pero ako 100% fan ko malamig man o mainit. masira man fan atleast fan lang hindi masyado mahirapan GPU ko ng dahil sa init, tsaka madali naman ipawarranty yung sakin kasi nakuha kong gpu is galing kay ubertech (PCT) saglit lang mag pawarranty dun eh, hehe.

    anyway, goodluck sir. buti na lang may replacement agad,

  • kamusta na gpu mo sir? been having the same problem here :( same na same.
  • Pinalitan po nila. artifacting nga issue. Solved na problem after getting the replacement. Bad batch.
  • mga ser, badtrip... naglalaro ako kagabi ng bf4 tapos bigla na lang namatay pc ko... ... check ko ngayung umaga... yung video card pala ang problema... kala ko nung yung processor ... nilinis at pinalitan ko pa ng thermal paste.

    siyanga pala... sapphire rx 480 nitro+ 8GB gamit ko... nabili ko pa Sep 1, 2016.... sa recibo, 1 year sa distro 2 years sa manufacturing...
    gusto ko lang ma-sure 1 (distro) + 2 years (manufacturing) = 3 years? ganito ba computation :D

    wala pa 3 years bumigay na ulit... ganito lagi experience ko sa radeon vc... mukhang short lang life span ng amd cards.
