R7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC - Flickering problem

Hi all!
I have a problem that many seems to have with the 7850 card (Same for different brands) -
When I surf on the net, I get a lot of flickering when scrolling a page. This is the same with all browsers - Firefox, Chrome, IE.
Turning off hardware acceleration in Firefox lessens the problem, but it's still there.
I read on an external page (Not allowed to link) that this is due to low 2D clock speeds.
One user also reported that Gigabyte fixed this with a BIOS update, so I wonder if MSI also have released such a thing?
Btw, tried the workaround with editing the profiles.xml and manually set the clocks higher, which fixed the problem, but this isn't optimal as the clock then works on high load when not needed.
Thanks in advance!

Sorry, maybe a little too fast there
My specs:
OS: Windows 7 Professional (x64) Build 7601, Service Pack 1
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V Pro Intel Z7 (BIOS version 0906)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Low Profile DDR3 PC12800/1600MHz CL9 2x4GB (Profile set to: XMP 800.0 MHz)
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K, 3400 MHz (Using "Standard" mode)
PSU: Corsair Power Supply 750W HX ATX
GPU:MSI Radeon R7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC 2GB
HDD #1: WDC WD2500KS-00MJB0 250 GB (OS is installed here)
HDD #2: WDC WD5000AAKS-75TMA0 500 GB
DVD-ROM: ATAPI DVD D DH16D2S
To clarify the error report:
Everything works perfect except for web surfing where I get strange millisecond long flickers/flashes, when scrolling a page.
If I check the AMD OverDrive, then I can see that the core speed is 150MHz, and the RAM speed is 300MHz as minimum and then goes higher when I scroll a page. And as I wrote, if i manually change those values in "C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\ATI\ACE\profiles .xml" to work for example in 700Mhz as minimum, then the problem is gone, but with the cost that the clocks works on too high values for what's actually needed when the system is idle.

    Would I just use the installer that is on this site to flash the bios, any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thankyou very much Svet,
    The card and operating system(8.1) works perfect now.
    What I did was, extract the files you gave me, and downloaded the ATIWinflash program,
     then I put the .150 file in the same folder, then renamed the .150 file to a .rom file,
    and used ATIWinflash to flash vbios(too lazy to go to the store), only took about 10 secs, then rebooted, and no more watermark :-),
    Thanks again for your help.
    I am glad I found this site or I would probably be just living with the watermark( Then again I don't think so, it was driving me crazy)

  • R7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5 Issues

    Hello,
    I've done a bit of searching and haven't been able to find a solution to this issue.
    I installed my R7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC yesterday and upgraded my PSU at the same time and have been having several issues since the install.
    First Issue: If I connect more than one monitor to the card, both screens go black and the only way to fix the issue is to unplug one monitor and hard reset the computer. When in safe mode or while booting, I do not have this issue.
    Second Issue: If only 1 monitor is connected either through DVI, HDMI or Mini Display, the screen works for about 10 minutes before the display goes completely white or grey and the only solution is to hard reboot the computer.
    Are these known issues? Do I have a flawed card? Should I get Svet's update that I have seen links to?
    I have my computer info is:

    here i attached latest vbios for the card

    also you can try different VGA drivers,
    the latest one from msi web for your card
    or the latest one from AMD/ATI web
    Before install/reinstall VGA drivers,
    use DDU to remove current one: http://www.wagnardmobile.com/DDU/

    If you want to ask if you can use TV273MH.150 then no you need TV273MH.111. Neither the gpu-z readout nor screenshot would be helpful without the S/N by the way as those do NOT readout the actual bios version.
    Now use attached TV273MH.111.

  • Problem with hd R7850 twin frozr 2gd5

    when gaming sometimes my pc locks up with a black screen and sound stuck in a very small loop and cant do anything apart from manually resetting my pc or killing the power. It was happening occasionally with sleeping dogs (although after lowering the quality settings well below the recommended its fine now) and has also happened on a couple of rare occasions with Black ops 2. I recently installed Far Cry 3 and literally every time i play it after around 5 min i get this issue. I have the latest beta drivers from ati installed and the game is fully updated. I tried lowering the resolution and quality settings but after aroun 20 mins of play it happend again i only purchased the card in sept and am very disgruntled to say the least. What would be the best method to identify the cause of the problem and more importantly fix it or avoid it happening to me again?

  • UEFI GOP firmware for R7850 Twin Frozr 2GD5/OC?

    Is there an UEFI GOP firmware for this card?  I just bought this card and would like to enable ultra fast UEFI boot, but this card is preventing my motherboard from doing so because it's not UEFI GOP compliant.

    Quote from: xmad on 23-February-13, 01:06:36
    create bootable usb key, guide: http://www.bay-wolf.com/usbmemstick.htm
    then extract and copy ati flasher to the USB key, reboot computer and boot from the USB key.
    when you see A:\ or C:\, type:
    atiflash -f -p 0 xxxx.BIN [ENTER]
    Flashed my card with no problem.  I'm able to enable ultra fast boot.  It is not doing it consistently, but I have seen it cold boot in like 5 seconds.
    You guys are great.  This is my first MSI card and it certainly won't be my last    Thanks 
    PS if I decide to get another of the same card, I can use the same file to flash it right?

    Hello! I was having some problems with my HD 7850 twinfrozr III. Some weird color shifting in some very symmetric vertical columns. This problem would even be noticeable on the bios screen.
    So I removed the dissipator and fan, renewed the thermal but the problem persisted. So i tried a bios flash. I used ATIWINFlash with some bios I got from another site: techpowerup. Now I had a bsod on startup, not to mention the previous problem.
    I have not given up on the gpu, so I cleaned it once again with isopropilic alcohol and guess what, the problem with the vertical columns is gone, but the mess I did with the bios remains.
    I already download the winflash you posted as well as the bios, but I can't seem to flash it via ATIWINFlash anymore, being that my system only boots on safemode, and safemode doesn't allow me to use atiwinflash properly.
    Tried using the atiflash using a bootable USB stick (from this guide: h***://www.techpowerup.com/articles/overclocking/vidcard/34/8), but when I type "atiflash -i" I receive a "no adapter found".
    I got an ASRock 970de3/u3s3 bios 1.5
    windows 7 x64.
    Any thoughts? Is my gpu dead?
    My S/N: 602-V273-01SB1203081664
    Update: unninstalled ati software, reeboted, booted usbstick with FreeDos, used atiflash and bios provided by flobelix, system booted normally and no vertical columns so far.
    Next step is installing catalyst 13.4 (best one for dota 2 so far).
    I am afraid that if I stress the card it will show those columns again D:
    Lets all cross fingers!
