MSI R9 270x Gaming Video Card Flicker Issue

I bought one of these cards and keep getting this weird screen flicker. It is the same as this YouTube video but more frequent.
Is there any solution to this?

this looks like monitor issue, rather than video card issue

MSI R9 270X Gaming - different default clock speed + flicker issues

Hello,
Techpowerup has recently published the review of my MSI R9 270X Gaming.
It seems that their sample had a default clock speed of 1120 MHz, while my card defaults to 1080 MHz as you can see from the following screenshots:
Review sample: My card:
If you have any ideas about this, please let me know.
The second problem is the typical flickering that occurs in 2D. I would be grateful if you could help me with that too.
I'm using Catalyst 13.12 and the S/N of my card is 602-V303-03SB1311007834.
Thank you!

Thank you!
Does this bios support UEFI GOP?

MSI R9 270x Gaming Flicker.

Hi i have screen flickering issue on my MSI R9 270x gaming 2G BF4 card.
S/N: 602-V303-07SB1312026597
and here is the link to the current vbios
dropbox.com/s/czeirvxcs0yxkyd/Pitcairn.rom

Try the latest UEFI vbios:
Decompress the attached .rar archive with Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
Then unpack the previously provided archive (1A0.rar) and put the included file (TV303MH.1A0) on that stick.
Rename TV303MH.1A0 to 1A0.rom. Put the atiflash.exe also included in the archive provided on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 1A0.rom [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.
If still no help run the Gaming APP in OC or Gaming mode and see if that helps: http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/gamingApp.zip

All MSI R9 270x gaming 2g are corrupt! NEED CALL BACK FROM MSI!

Yea!
I got a BAD MSI R9 270x 2g gaming card.. I have switch it for a new one same model many times and still have that artifact problem I have REINSTALL MY PC 10X with windows 8.1 64bit (maybe this video card is not working with windows 8.1 64bit...)
And don't say the standard apology "its your power supply" thats inpossible I have an Enermax Revolution87+ ERV750AWT-G and I tried on an other PC and still the same ISSUE with the last 14.4 driver and the old MSI DRIVER 13 MY PC work with I7 4770K (not OC yet) O yea I have only 1 GPU and not in CrossFIRE!
And yea there is no new Vbios available... And AMD is in SLAX MODE with making a NEW DRIVER!
So HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ?? I can't switch my video card in store everytime they will think ?? AGAIN! WITH THE SAME PROBLEM!?
And you know I'm not the only person that is angry on MSI with this corrupt VIDEO CARD MODEL!
Maybe (you MSI )need to ask all MSI R9 270x gaming 2g (With Serial number XXXXXXXX)back from costummers and give us a new one without PROBLEMS for free!
I WILL REALY BURN MY VIDEO CARD WITH FIRE! AND BUY NEVER A MSI AGAIN! If there is no solution for this corruption..

This is a USER to USER forum and no one from MSI is here so you will get no reply from them by posting on this forum >>How to contact MSI.<<
if you want someone to help you please supply us a list of all the parts your using please! (if you have had Multiple cards and all are showing artefacts something else is going wrong could be RAM, Driver (13.12 is usually the most stable as the 14.xx versions have some Bad bugs in them) or a Faulty PSU (if its not the RAM or Drivers then its usually that))
Also between installing drivers please wipe out the old ones completely using this >>Driver Fusion<< in safe mode to clean out any fragments the normal AMD un-installer leaves behind like Regestery keys and Profiles ect!
so please follow this >>Posting Guide<< and give us a list of the parts your using please!

MSI R9 270x Gaming 2g Bios

Hi i have screen flickering issue on my MSI R9 270x gaming 2G BF4 card.

and here is the link to the current vbios
http://www.filedropper.com/pitcairn
Have tried everything from changing power supply to getting the card checked from where i bought it. The flicker is not permanent but randomly occurs. And sometime there are massive artifacts that stay on screen in certain apps until I reboot and they're gone. Here's some more info on my hardware

R9 270X Gaming 2G - Multiple Monitor Issues

Greetings MSI and Community
I recently purchased two MSI R9 270X Gaming 2G graphics cards and three Asus VS248H monitors.
I want to run the cards in Crossfire and activate Eyefinity which I understand requires the third monitor to be plugged into the DisplayPort using an active adapter.
The issue: I am unable to change the resolution (from 640 x 480) on any monitor that is NOT plugged into DVI-I or HDMI on the graphics card closest to the CPU.
Windows is able to identify the monitor plugged into the DVI-I port as VS248 however the monitor plugged into DVI-D (on the same card) or DisplayPort is identified as a Generic Non-PnP Monitor with the resolution drop down box greyed out.
I have tried the following:
- swapping the graphics cards
- swapping all of the connections to monitors
- disabling and re-enabling crossfire
- uninstalling and re-installing drivers; tried Catalyst Software Suite 13.9, 13.10, 13.11, 13.101 (on MSI's website).
I am currently running the latest Beta drivers because of fixes to the screen moving.
I have been uninstalling drivers using Driver Fusion Premium. Also tried uninstalling using ATIman however the result is the same.
I have spent about 20 hours trying to resolve this issue so if anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. I am honestly at the point that if I can't resolve this issue I will be returning both of the cards for another brand.
My specifications:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit SP1 Operating System
AMD FX-8350 CPU
ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0 (Socket 942) Motherboard
16.0GB G.Skill 16GB [SNIPER] DDR3-1866 F3-1866C10D-16GSR Memory
Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB ATA Device 240G
WDC WD5003AZEX-00K1GA0 ATA Device 500G
WDC WD5000AAKX-22ERMA0 ATA Device 500G
Asus VS248H 24" 2ms wide LED w/DSUB DVI-D HDMI x 3
Thank you in advance for your time.
Regards
Anthony

@Smartify
Perhaps your BSOD is related to the BSOD I got from not having updated my drivers thoroughly, and left old driver fragments.
See my post about it here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=182037.msg1307746#msg1307746
I have not had a BSOD since I updated my driver in the correct way, by following the instructions laid out by the good people in this forum.
Link here: https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/where-can-i-download-vga-drivers-and-how-do-i-install-t
As far as the two problems I had with the power plan. They are resolved now.
After updating to the latest Intel Management Engine Drivers, the monitor is responding, as it should.
What is preventing the system from entering sleep mode, is unrelated to the GPU or any other hardware for that matter. Embarrassingly I did not run the CMD command "powercfg -requests" to find out, before I posted the question.
It seems I am a little too trigger happy posting questions here It is my internet connection that is preventing the system from entering hybrid sleep mode.

@ Svet and Badboy, thank you for your help.
One small question for you guys. If my system is stable now and as you can see from above the power plan problems non-existent, is there any point in flashing the BIOS to the Beta BIOS Svet pointed me too.

Yeah, you provided the wrong S/N... It IS 602-V303-03SB and not 602-V303-02SB as you said, no wonder the confusion (and although I already asked..). Hence you have a regular Gaming and the provided vbios is definitely correct. If there is a switch on the card it is to switch between legacy and UEFI/GOP vbios (no middle position).

Stuttering With MSI R9 270x Gaming 2G (single GPU)

Hello
I have just bought an MSI R9 270x Gaming 2G and I get this stuttering when I play Battlefield 4 and Call Of Duty Ghosts when my fps is 40 to 60. The graphics run smoothly for a few seconds and then there is a few stutters and then it runs smoothly again for a few seconds and then stutter and so on all the time.
I have updated my vga bios and motherboard bios and I have tried both the newest drivers and some older ones and it is the same.
Does anyone else have this problem and does anyone have a solution?
Thanks
Phazer1980

What version? On AMS's site there is only 13.11 beta and I have the 13.12 non-beta. Then there is the 13.30 driver, but does that work with R9 cards?

[VIA] MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU and a MSI FX5900XT 128MB DDR Video Card

Does any body out there know if a MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU and a MSI FX5900XT 128MB DDR Video Card will work well together?

like the grayone say, is true. for more ensure, try and search the graphic cards support list for your board at MSI (Sorry cause i don,t no is where the site located)
in my opinion, most is compability for your card, when is a AGP slot.
Except the new one like the AGP slot, call AGR( Accelaration Graphic Riser slot) that really need to find a compatibility graphic cards.....

REQUEST: Latest BIOS update for MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G card

Hi, I'd like the latest BIOS version for my MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G card. I don't know what the serial number is, I don't have the box anymore. I've attached my BIOS file I saved through GPU-z. Thanks in advance!

Hi
Check graphics card itself, should have a sticker with S/N. Else it might be hard (or impossible) to provide correct vBIOS.

VRAM tester no problem VGA
what? Did you test it in another pc or what did you try?
Quote from: misiizsai on 03-May-14, 05:52:54
which PSU should i buy?
If you want to try another psu any Corsair single rail psu from 550W and above would be fine. Recommended is Corsair VS Series VS650. Quite cheap but plenty of power for your system. It offers 50A on a single +12v rail.

MSI R9 270x gaming 2g - artifacts

Hi!
I've just upgraded my pc a week ago, and my actual setup is:
Motherboard: MSI h97 pc mate
GPU: MSI R9 270x gaming 2g
CPU: I7 - 4790
PSU: Tryteck 550w
Ram: 12 gb DDR3 Kingstone
HD1: 240gb SSD Kingstone
HD2: 2tb Samsung
OS: Win 8
I was all happy and everything, and then...after some minutes of playing those weird flashing square appeared....
they spawn even on img viewer...
i've tried installing the latest MSI driver, but the problem was even worse...then tried the latest AMD driver (14.4) and the problem softened a little, so that it happen a little less often than before, but it's still happening...."MSI Live Update" say that i already have the latest vbios, so i can't even try updating it.
The shop where i brought all my new pc's parts say that it may be the psu, not capable of powering everything as it should...
I can't try out an other, more powerful psu without buy an other one and i want to be sure the problem is really the psu, before buying an other one...
Anyway, sometimes they happen as i enter a game, sometimes they happen after i play for hours...and sometimes they just don't appear at all O.o

Bios is outdated and should be updated as you are also using a Haswell refresh cpu. Use the following and don't use Live Update as it bricks boards.
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download the attached archive (180.rar) and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB
G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_amt10_mb.zip
