hi!! Correct me if i’m wrong but does the memory clock of my radeon r9 are 1250Mhz??? Installing the new AMD driver with there new WATTMAN overdrive software, it put the memory clock at 1350Mhz and we can’t adjust a lower memory clock like the old amd crimson Drivers. My screen goes black after 3 4 minutes of browsing!! For now, i can only revert back to the latest 2016 crimson driver to put back the memory clock at 1250Mhx.. THe old driver still put the memory clock at 1350Mhx but i can reduce it to 1250

Good day fortress66,
What graphics card do you have ?
on the backside of the card should be some stockers and one of them will have the Item Code,
shoul dbe something like “CGAX-R9298” …
Hi Fortress66,
The default memory speed for the CGAX-R9298SO is actually 1350 MHz.
If your screen turns black after a few minutes, it is most probably due to temperature getting too high. Please check temperature of the Card.
Sometimes it will help to replace the Cooling Paste in between the GPU/Card and the Cooler/Heatsink. Over time that cooling paste can dry out and therfor work less efficient.
With regards to the option that the AMD driver will (or not) give you i really cannot help you. For that you would need to contact AMD.
hi! Even when the fan is running at max speed to cooldown the card, the same thing happen. I mean, i did see a temp getting between 35 42 C. its not too high, and like i said, it just freeze after 3 4 min of browsing.
When i search over google for the card specs. I keep seeing 1250Mhx for the memory clock ?!?
exactly, its been l ike that since i purchased the card. I was sure it was 1250Mhz and that amd driver was the problem but since i could put the memory clock to 1250, i didnt bother with it. With the latest amd driver, we can’t lower the memory clock.
did you try doing that with AMD Overdrive software ?

If you’re troubleshooting performance issues after a driver update, it really helps to break down the problem into measurable factors — e.g., clock speeds, memory stability, and thermal behavior — rather than just guessing. That’s the same mindset I use with tools outside of gaming too; for example, https://ltvcalculator.net/ gives straight-up loan-to-value numbers so you can see the real impact of different inputs instead of assuming results.
