If you are getting hot the driver may be throttling down the clock speed. Check your fans. Do a clean install of the driver.

[hendry9]

I already uninstall driver with DDU software.

My fan its normal too.

But the problem still appear.

Entering game in one minute always drop fps so far from 90 to 30.

There is even terrible if cutscene from game appear the fps drop to 10 FPS.

I have r9280x msi OC by factory.

[pokester]

Did this happen right after a change? After a new driver or Windows update? Or just worked one minute and not the next?

[hendry9]

Its happen in one minute and suddenly drop and fps never up again.

But if im restart my pc and entering the game fps back to normal but in one or two minute fps drop again.

From 90 fps to 30 fps.

Look like its happen when im play some game there are warning like

DXGI_ERROR_DIVICE_REMOVE.

Then i close the warning box.

Its looks like im playing with r9280x but suddenly turn to intel graphic procrssor.

LMAO

[pokester]

DXGI_ERROR_DIVICE_REMOVE

That I have seen myself and I have fixed. But its had different causes.

One method and seems to be the thing that fixes most issues these days, is by going into Wattman, raise the power slider to the right to it's maximum for your card ( yes it's safe).

Next maybe your bios reset to default values and is initializing the on-board graphics first and not the PCIe card usually the PEG option. Check this out.

Next is Windows has somehow messed up the hardware identification. Usually that is simply fixed by going to device manager finding your card, clicking remove device, and restart.

Give those a whirl and report back.

Good Luck!

[hendry9]

I just turn on my pc and there are massage wattman failure unexcepted.

But i not yet try your solution.

[pokester]

Okay, good luck. Let me know.

[brucer]

before doing that, check to see if your power profile in windows is set to high performance, if not change it to high perf...  sounds like your cpu could be downclocking due to a low power state.

[hendry9]

hy i dont have radeon wattman

i have r9280x and newest graphic driver 18.2.1

there is only GLOBAL GRAPHIC, GLOBAL DRIVER, AND PERFORMANCE MONITORING

and then in divice manager

what should i do

there is no remove device option

there only have uninstall divice from system (advance)

if im unistall divice from my system i must unplugged my gpu ?

[brucer]

click on global graphic, think wattman is in there...

[hendry9]

Seriously dude i have not wattmann setting

Looks like my r9280x not support wattman feature.

The overclock.features only in global overdrive

[brucer]

ok, thats how I remember my old r9-290 and 290x, its been a while...

If I remember correctly, the power drops off on those cards so bad that the gpu could crash, to alleviate that turn the power control up to like 10% maybe even max it out..

Watch your temps , you'll likely need to increase your fan speed..I remember having to do that with my 290, think I was up to like 80 or 90%, its been a few years since I had those gpu's..

[hendry9]

Hy i just remove my graphic card from divice manager, and my r9200 series has gone there only microsoft basic divice adapter and now how to detect my r9290x again in divice manager.

[brucer]

If your running windows10 I would reboot, it should reload the windows default amd drivers..  It may take a few minutes, just let it do its thing.. leave the gpu in the machine..

[brucer]

you really need to do a complete uninstall of your drivers using Display Driver Uninstaller, and reinstall your drivers..

[pokester]

restart like I said above.

[pokester]

You just need to move the power control to +20.

[hendry9]

so sad not work adjust power control to 20

[pokester]

No you don't need to take it out. You are just allowing Windows to re-establish the hardware ID.

[hendry9]

this is my task manager when im playing game with FPS drop to 10

[brucer]

have you set your power plan in windows to maximum performance?

[hendry9]

Already set to max

Are r9280x have dx12

Can this card play game with dx12 ?

Looks like card cant handle dx12 game

I wanna try game cod world at war game first and see the result

[pokester]

At what settings and resolution are you trying to play? Very subjective question.

At first it sounded like you were saying that you had been gaming fine and suddenly now don't.

I looks like you want to play AAA titles on old card. You will definitely have to use lower resolution and quality setting to achieve decent frames. Your best bet is to google you card with the games you want to play. Likely someone has a video or info out there. You can at least then know what to expect as normal.

[hendry9]

Full hd 1080p...

No problem watch youtube in 1080p 60 fps, the problem.only in the game.

I have been years using this card from win 7 and now to win 10

Many of game i ever played.

I think my r9280x not compatible with win 10 today

Looks like my gpu is tire

LMAO

[pokester]

Thatcard is probably not going to play current AAA titles maxed at 1080p. I just retired my HD7950 in November. It was in the same boat. The RX580 is much better and I'm gaming at 1440p now.

[brucer]

How much gpu memory usage in game are you using? not system memory..

[brucer]

i would also run in dx11 with that gpu..

Hheres a video of a guy running in dx11, ultra settings with a 280x FIFA 18 (AMD R9 280X 3GB) FPS TEST - YouTube  I have no idea what the notations are saying, but i can tell what settings he is running..

[pokester]

I run in DX 11 with most any game. Very few games out that have true DX 12 engines. Mantle was great and Vulkan is awesome. Shame Vulkan isn't more mainstream. Ah maybe someday!

[hendry9]

I can run everything in high setting gta v, fifa 18, war thunder, bf 4 with good fps for a years.

And this month when im playing fifa 18 suddenly i got error DXGI_ERROR_DIVICE_REMOVE you need at least have 1050mb in you system memory and the game crash.

Thats the the cusses my fps always drop

And thats error happen in win 10.

And now i want try with old game if my fps drop too in old game its means my gpu broken.

[hendry9]

Up date

Trying old game cod waw not work

Fps still low.

Time to reseated my gpu in motherboard

and also final solution.

LoL.

[hendry9 · Accepted solution]

Finally my fps not drop again

Now i can play with max fps

i just reseated my gpu on my motherboard

[pokester]

So glad you got it fixed! I know it always feels good to get to the end of a long battle.

Good Luck & Happy Gaming!
