Help Overclocking XFX 7970 BE DD

Thread Starter 
Hi Guys

Having issues trying to OC my GPU.
Its not a serious OC just simply trying to hit limits imposed by AMD in the BIOS and CCC.

Every time I try slide my bars to Core Clock: 1125MHz and Mem Clock: 1.575GHz with PowerTune limit to +20%, I get a "The display driver stopped working and has been restored" error when I load Battlefield 3, it works for about 3-5min then bombs?

All the OC reviews I've read said that this was easily achievable yet I cant seem do it.

Any help would be appreciated. See Rig below.

CPU: Intel Core i7-3820 4.3GHz
Motherboard: Rampage IV Formula Intel® X79
MEM: Corsair 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 DOMINATOR GT
GPU: XFX ATI Radeon 7970 HD DD 1000MHz 3GB PCI Express 3.0 HDMI Black Edition
SSD: Corsair Memory 120GB Force Series 3 SATA 6Gb/s 2.5" Solid State Drive (Read 550MB/s, Write 510MB/s)
PSU: Corsair 1200 Watt Pro Series AX1200
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100 High-Performance

not all graphics cards are perfect. Some overclock great, some are terrible overclockers. I guess your card isnt that great at overclocking.

Set PowerTune limit to +20% in AMD CCC. Install MSI Afterburner. first try at stock voltage. Check OC stability in small steps of 25 Mhz. 1025,1050 1075,1100,1125 . If it does not work try increasing voltage in small steps of 0.025v and check for stability. eg: stock voltage 1.175. check at 1.2, 1.225, 1.25, 1.275,1.3

Is it important to set powertune limit to +20% in CCC first? then install MSI Afterburner and start OC.
If I only use MSI Afterburner without do anything in CCC will it works normal??

Just bumping this thread. Am having the same problems. Cant OC to 1125MHz and 1.575GHz. These are reportedly easy to reach. But my card refuses absolutely. Have tried increasing voltages but still getting artifacts in stability test with GPU Tool. Mine is an XFX Core Edition. Have tried with bios switch in either positions. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks


Edit: OK Just found something interesting. With GPU-Z Stock VDDC is at 1.182. Increased to +20% in AMD Overdrive. Still at 1.182. (All tested under load, taking max values)

Increased core voltage to 1.2 with afterburner. But GPU-Z still reports 1.182. Any ideas???

Edit 2: It seems that I can OC it upto 1095 / 1575 Mhz without any problems and not even using +20% power option. Could it be a problem with temps? They dont go above 81 C. Should I get an Arctic Cooler for the card and give it a try??

Use Sapphire TriXX and profit. MSI Afterburner is dangerous if you don't know what your doing because you can manually set the Vcore.

On TriXX set your OC settings to this:
GPU Clock: 1125
Memory Clock: 1575
Board Power Li: 20

Profit and enjoy.

I think it's just a problem with the card the drivers and everything else are unstable. So when you try to OC it crashes it's more on amd's end than anything.

Might be a driver problem or could be that wack ass OC program IMO. Stick to a more known OC program. AMD Catalyst, Sapphire TriXX, MSI Afterburner, etc. I have no problem OC my 7970 BE DD. Hell I can max Shogun II Total War no problem on my 1 7970 at 2560x1440! biggrin.gif Even with maxed unit size; although Medieval II Total War won't allow me to reinforcement armies. Say's my hardware won't support it. (That's a lie!!)


Have you tried contacting XFX? If the card itself is bad they'll replace it for free.
