Hi all,
Firstly, please forgive me if I am re-echoing an earlier post, I have had a look through past forum posts before writing, but may well have missed something.
I have had the Msi Twin Frozr HD6970 for a few months now, runs great for me, but have recently noticed an issue (?) which I have been unaware of before - in most (not all) games, the GPU is running at 99% constantly (noticeably BF3, BulletStorm, Spec Ops - The Line), with temps remaining at around 75 - 79 degrees max. Is this normal/OK for this card? I thought it may have been my overclocking, so I have tried resetting in afterburner but still does same thing.
I have included as much info as I can below:
Core i5 (not OC) with 8gig RAM and win7 x64
GPU Settings:
out of the box 1.174v, Core 880mhz, memory 1375mhz
OC settings 1.2v, Core 950mhz, mem clock 1450
Would appreciate any comments
Thanks in advance guys
Steve

Your voltage seems a bit high for that core clock. Have you tried to maintain stability with a bit less voltage ?
