Windows not applying overclock at startup QNIX2710

[mboner1]

I have the qnix2710 , was running 96hz without issues, updated my drivers to 13.11 beta 9.5 and used driver sweeper to to uninstall the old drivers, re installed the overclock , and windows NEVER detects it at start up. I can manually go to display settings and hit detect and it switches to 96 hz. But that needs to be done every restart.

This is on windows 8.1 64 bit , which i upgraded to around the time the issue started i then got rid of my 3570k and asrock motherboard and installed msi gd65 and i7 4770k and issue still persists.

The gpu i'm using is the r9 290 and the issues have been since changing to that from a 7970 and since using driver sweeper.

I have re installed os though, multiple times and still happens. Not sure if it could be a problem with my edid being deleted after using driver sweeper, or for some reason i feel like it could be a issue with intel chipset inf drivers not detecting the r9 290 correctly.

Any advice at this stage would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.

Tried re installing r9 290 bios, tried re formatting, re installed patcher countless times, tried a qnix edid i found online not sure if i installed it correctly, tried installing windows in mbr and gpt mode with uefi and without. Tried forcerefresh and similar programs, tried both bios switches on card and both dvi ports (both of which are supposedly dual dvi- gigabyte r9 290) . Tried reverting back to amd beta 13.11 beta 9.4 which it worked with previously but not anymore and tried the latest whql driver. Only thing i haven't done is revert back to windows 7 64 bit. Out of ideas.
