Title: Stuttering issues after F8 BIOS update GA-Z87-HD3
Post by: kutavyz on May 14, 2015, 01:05:50 pm
Hi!

I'm having stuttering issues in all games after I update to F8 version. Before (in F7) games run perfectly @60FPS but now have frame drops of 30FPS. Sometimes for a seconds works fine (60FPS) but with no reason it drops to 30, 50...
I was looking for downgrade to F7 with a tool called FTK buy I think is too risky (I'm not a pro user) and maybe is another way to fix this issue.

My PC specs:
Proccesor: Intel i5 4670k @Stock
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 Rev 1.0 F8
GPU: Sapphire Radeon R9 280x Toxic @Stock
RAM: 4x2 G. Skill Ares DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 CL9
PSU: Nox Urano VX 750W PFC

PS: Sorry about my english :/

Thank you so much!

That mobo should have the dual BIOS setup...just read your manual on how to revert back to the default (2nd BIOS) setting.

Hi.

Thanks for your reply. I read the whole manual and I don'n find any way to revert to the old BIOS. I have a backup copy of the old F7 (.bin) but downgrade is not allowed using Qflash or EFIFlash because is outdated... Any ideas?

EDIT: I don't know if it could be related, but in the F7 version the GPU turn off right when the system shut down but in the F8 stays turned on at least 1 second when the other components are off.

Thanks!
