290x Gaming 8GB BIOS

Looking for newest bios for 290x Gaming 8GB.
Serial: V308-22SB14110132xx

GOP. And I am doing a new build for somebody and make sure I have the latest and greatest code for all hardware. I fear the 290x blackscreen issue since my Lightning is now RMA's for it and don't want to deal with that for somebody else.

Msi 290X Gaming Bios question?

I just got a used 290X Gaming for $350 off Amazon. Do the 290X boards usually already come with a UEFI bios or will I have to request it?
Thanks....

The 4G Gamings Bios switch is at the top of the card near the external connectors, the uefi mode bios is the "2" position on the switch, which is toward the rear/power connectors position. Its a pretty tiny switch so make sure your careful and have a good light.

I try to use different drivers but nothing helped. Sometimes pc worked fine for 2-4 days and them 3-5 crashes in hour. It never happened in a game . always in windows . I tried different psu and nothing change .
I tried msi afterburner , set voltage to constant. change gpu memory clock ..... but nothing changed :(
I make decision to RMA card to the shop but they just send me msg that everything was fine :( any ide what i should do ?
AMD fx-8350
Asus formula z
XFX Black Edition 850W Fully Modular 80+ Gold Power
2x 8GB 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM HyperX Fury Black Series
Now im running my old gtx 460 and everything looks fine :((
Any advice?
I should maybe try to sell card and buy something else like gtx970 but i just spend 270 pounds and im at least not happy .... huge disappointment

Not much to try then. Make sure bios of your board is latest and check general system stability with prime95: http://www.mersenne.org/download/

Problem with my MSI 290x gaming 4g performance in unigine valley benchmark.

First im dutch(netherlands) so sorry for my maybe bad english.
My system is:
Asus p8z77 v deluxe mb
intel 3770k cpu
16gb ram 1866 Corsair
2x ssd 256 gb OCZ
MSI 290x gaming
win7 64bit ultimate.
When i came home with my card i removed my old 7970 and replaced it with my new card.
Put some programs up like gpu-z cpu-z realtemp ext.
Then run Unigine-valley Benchmark with OC tool MSI at 1040 option.
My cpu at 4.2ghz OC
Score Unigine valley v1.0: 61.1 fps-score2558-min fps 30.3/max fps 112.8
Custom settings at 1920-1080 and ultra 8x aa windowed.
Seems ok result.
Now to problem i have.
So next i did (dumb me hehe) i try OC my CPU with All-suit II from ASUS to OC cpu extreme mode which stress test untill stable clock is found.
Got a crash bluescreen and then after few attemps stable 4.3.
Then did new benchmark and my score was alot lower and nomatter what i try my 290x did not pass 60fps any more and score dropped to 2100?
3dmark firestrike gave first time score of 9655 and after my disaster with cpu failed attemp 9200.
My card is stuck at 60fps max it won't get any higher?
The GPU-Z also show PCI-E 3.0 X16@ X1 1.1and when i activate render i see it only change to x16 1.1 i never see gen 3.0.
CPU-Z info motherboard also only pci-express link with x1 and x16
My questions is how can o solve this problem it seems my motherbaord don't reconize my videocard anymore?
Also posible that something with the OC attemp CPU broke something?
I also try change from AUTO to GEN3 in bios but then i get a blackscreen when i boot up it stays backscreen, have to change it switch videocards so i can see my boot again and go into BIOS.
Im at a lost here, hope one of you know a solution or whats my problem?
Hope ive supply enough info im bit of a newbie at this sorry for that.
Thanks in advance.

>>Clear CMOS<< of your board and retry.

R9 290X Gaming App overclock seeing CPU not GPU

Hi all,
Yesterday I picked up an R9 290x 4gb. The card is working great, and is recongnized and used during benchmarks. I wanted to get a baseline prior to OC. I was then going to start with the numbers I get on the gaming app before jumping into afterburner. Problem is, the Gaming App is displaying my CUP speed and isn't seeing the GPU. So the OC button is 4400 which is what OC genie has my CPU at but it doesn't show my GPU speed. I then tried loading afterburner and afterburner isn't seeing it either.
This was a clean install of windows 8.1, I ran all updated through live update and windows.
Any ideas?

No go, still not seeing it correctly. Details below. Also got a warning after completion also, below.

Request - MSI 290x Gaming 4G vbios

R9 290X Gaming VBIOS Request

I just bought a brand new MSI 290X Gaming 4G and I have no control over fans, the msi GamingApp seems to have no control either.
SN:602-V308-06SB1403000948

Hi,
Is anyone able to clarify some or all of the BIOS issues/info?
My 290X Gaming is exhibiting some stuttering issues. I have read through several forums over the last week and determined that a BIOS update has resolved this issue with brands. So, after more reading, I've ended up here. This is certainly disconcerting. When one spends over $600 on a video card for the 'Best' you'd hope it's not a 1/2 functional kludge.
I tried the 160 BIOS and lost fan control with the card set to Legacy Mode Switch Position #1. GPU-Z showed a different version than with the card set to UEFI Mode Switch Position #2. Position #2 shows the old BIOS version and the in this mode the fans are controllable. As well, in position 1 which seemed to be the new BIOS with the loss of fan control, the whole computer seemed funky and ultimately the screen would go black and I'd have to shutdown and reboot.
So are there typically 2 separate flashes? One legacy and one UEFI? Does one have to flash the card in both switch positions? I was of the understanding that position 2 is locked and position 1 is for flashing.
Would someone kindly elaborate on all this? I couldn't seem to find the info here.
Also, there seem to be 4 BIOS here;
http://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/index.php?manufacturer=MSI&model=R9+290X
Obviously 2 are 1030MHz and 2 are 1040Mhz.
For each speed, it shows versions
VER015.042.000.003.000000 f1040.h02
VER015.042.000.003.000000 u1040.h02
So, what is the difference? Is one supposed to be Legacy and one UEFI?
Again, some insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

That is useless. Add link to your real vbios saved to file:
Quote from: GOP / UEFI Vbios requests - Read Here First on 29-March-13, 22:47:26
If you are looking for a UEFI / GOP Vbios for your video card here are a few things we need and there are a few things you need to know.
1.) Vbios versions vary with-in models. This is due to different variations and improvements made in time. In order for us to be able to get you the right VBIOS. We need your serial number. The serial number can be found on a sticker on the bottom of your card or on the box in which it came.
2.) Don't use a vbios provided to another users. Just because you have the same model, doesn't mean you need the same vbios. While flashing the wrong vbios is recoverable, it is still more work. It is fine to post in that thread with your serial number asking if you can use that VBIOS.
3.) If we need to check if thier is a more recent version. We can check your Vbios in one of two ways.
A.) Upload a copy of your current vbios somewhere and give us a link. You can save a copy of your vbios using >>GPU-Z<<.
B.) You can also just use NVFLASH >>Download NVFLASH for windows<<
Syntax:
nvflash /v >rep.txt [ENTER]
This will copy all of the information we need into a txt file you will fine in the folder in which you placed nvflash.
4.) Be aware that gpu-z screenshots or what gpu-z reads out as bios version are NOT of any use for identifying the required vbios version. While it doesn't hurt to add those when S/N and an actual copy of the vbios are also supplied simply just adding screenshots or version readouts will not get you any further and us having to ask for the required informations.

Use the attached.
Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
Then unpack the previously provided archive (TV308MH_100.rar) and put the included file (TV308MH.100) on that stick.
Rename TV308MH.100 to 100.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also included in the archive on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 100.rom [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.

Did a fresh boot then ran atiflash -i (it was in 0 as you said)
Then ran atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 161.rom and it flashed
Manual fan now working!!!
Thank you so much for your help

However if you need BIOS update prior to have some RAM or GPU working fine (or other stuff), then maybe consider updating to 1.6 and then to 1.9 and finally to 1.B (1.11). I suggest using MFlash (files can be downloaded on MSI's product site, instructions should be included). For Forum Flash tool you need proper files provided (usually) by Svet or Flobelix.
Before attempting to flash, make sure your system is stable!
I downloaded BIOS 1,5 and 1,6 and in both cases i have same issue it stucks on 100% on M-Flash, after this I can normaly shut down pc and it work but witch 1.4 BIOS. I just want know whyi can;t
updtate.
Video from using Forum Flash Tool:

290x Gaming 4G - NO FAN CONTROL AFTERBURNER

I am not the only person, why on earth does MSI PAY for Afterburner and not have proper control of their cards through it?
The stock fan control profiles SUCK and I'd be happy to have just plain ole, SIMPLE fan control. Afterburner doesnt work, MSI Gaming APP doesnt do (horrible program BTW devs) and CCC doesnt work either... YAY!
Someone tell me I am moron for not finding some hidden checkbox, otherwise I am pretty disappointed with my two new 290x Gaming 4G's.

Use the attached for both.
Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
Then unpack the previously provided archive (TV308MH_161.rar) and put the included file (TV308MH.161) on that stick.
Rename TV308MH.161 to 161.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also included in the archive on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 161.rom [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios if flashing both cards one after another with one card removed. If you want to flash both in one system the syntax listed before will just flash one card. You'd need to type then atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 161.rom [ENTER] and atiflash -p -f -noaper 1 161.rom [ENTER].
