Right !Also with two cards you can achieve higher clocks so you will have higher performance than gtx690

**** I have been waiting for someone to mention this. I get this too. 7950 OC Sapphire. I am going back to full release drivers as we speak to try and find what is the problem. I have tested my brothers GPU in my system, as well as connect my HDD to HIS system running all his hardware, and I still got the same effect. Heaven is definitely a little funny to me too, and I have run it many time and not noticed this, so it must be true. In Tribes, BF3, Blacklight Retribution (The last two especially) I get these funny diagonal lines along some edges, and they move when I move. I will post screen shots if they are still there once I install the drivers I have downloading. I thought I had butchered ANOTHER card, but, my relief was huge when my brothers 5700 series card did the same thing. Which leads me to believe, DRIVERS, being another AMD card using the same CCC suite I had already installed for the 7950.

Catalyst 12.7 Beta from AMD (link) is a bit newer than the one Guru3D released. 

Just so you all know. thumb.gif

OK, so I am on my fourth windows install in a week (for various reasons including a new HDD) and I have installed NOTHING but Heaven and the 8.97 drivers which were working great for me back when they were released. I still have the flickering shadows in Heaven running the stock setup, just open and run, and everything at stock clocks. Do I need to go back further? To 12.4 maybe? Why all of a sudden is this an issue? Surely I could not have just missed this before. BF3 looks terrible now with wavy shadows, pixellation where there was none before (especially the water, and inside the glass of the red dot sight). I haven't taken pics but I will once I install it. This is driving me insane. Others have reported weird shadows on various driver builds. I am paranoid about it being my card (again) but I honestly don't think there is anything wrong with it. My brothers entire system does the exact same thing. AMD is killing their awesome hardware with malicious driver releases.

Please don't tell me I don't know how to operate my machine, either. I am absolutely on a fresh install of Windows, and mainain my system almost to the point of addiction. So I just can't work it out.

I will go back to 12.4 now and test it again, after that, I am out of ideas.

Get a mini-DP to HDMI cable. That's what I did to fix the scaling issue. I'm sure I mentioned this a few pages back, but I want to make sure I share this with people still having the issue.

I don't know but I'm pretty sure it is the same with all the things we hear. Samples have been sent to reviewers and everything indicates that its the same chip. Has higher power consumption due to the card being overclocked at 1000Mhz and it has a 1050Mhz boost. I'm pretty sure we will be able to flash our BIOS to a 7970 Ghz edition.

This is all MY speculation

Same chip, same board, different bios keys. And no, you can not flash a 7970 with the ghz bios, it will not work.
