Btw the idle temp for the GPU is 40 C under load it is 50C My question is is that normal so that the memory clock is always at 800mhz ? or it is not?

Unless I'm suffering from the same issue and don't even know it Edited by Sam, Feb 23 2016, 08:10 PM.

I used the so called "GPU-z" application and it shows the correct/accurate info for me. My Intel HD Graphics Card memory clock is Max(which is to be expected) and my external GPU memory clock is 0(which is again to be expected in idle/light-weight operations).

Another thing is noticed so that the core memory clock is always 219.3 Mhz even though thats not even the half of its max So the core clock stuck in less Mhz even under load, while the Memory clock is always max no matter what The drives is the Crimson driver with the hotfix patch came in 2015 december Quote: My R9 290's memory clock always runs on its maximum as well. Doesnt it overheat? Guess the load should say of the Mhz .... or other OC program where you set the Mhz manually Edited by Pointer, Feb 24 2016, 05:43 PM.
