I am kinda not getting my 7970.. Must've hit a frequency wall... 1200Mhz perfectly stable on 1.188v. 1250Mhz already needs 1.262v and anything over 1250, say 1265, is impossible to stabilize even with 1.299v ;( 1250 aint bad at all but I was hoping for a 1300+ card...
Max temps in-game with my Accelero 7970 at 1250 with 1.262v is just 55-60c so... Got the room to run 1.299v 24/7 but it just doesn't help tongue.gif


I had a similar issue and I did two things that worked. Don't know why but it worked. I forget the exact commands and am not at home to check but perhaps the gurus can fill in the blanks. I started AfterBurner via the run command with the /xcl modification. I also disabled ULPS (??????????? forget the exact letters ) via sapphira Trixx . Now I can do 1300 + stable in games . Did that only once and it still works.

Just regular Sapphire HD7970 card.

I blame drivers, I believe it would hang or freeze if I run it with too low mv thus temps are not that high so only drivers left...
BTW I haven't tried earlier driver releases?

So what kind of issues are we seeing with 12.6 beta drivers? I have been busy the past month and haven't been gaming much at all. I'm still using 12.4 beta.

did people notice better 3dmark11 and fps with 12.6? or the same? I will wait for official driver if its the same, 12.5whql is working great for me!
