Thanks for the heads up, was just reading about this on some other forums. Will you update us in this thread when the coast is clear?

Some say we deserve a Medal of Honor for releasing the Never Settle driver with such Hitman-levels of precision performance it unlocks. But we can't simply let Sleeping Dogs lie even though what we've demonstrated is a Far Cry from our usual update.
Get the NEVER SETTLE driver, now. http://blogs.amd.com/play/2012/10/22/never-settle-driver/

I've found a bug Thracks, 7970 reference cards do not clock down properly , they only go down to 500/1375, not 300/150 like 12.9. Non reference 7970's are not affected.Originally Posted by Thracks

No, just the one monitor. Could it be a setting in ccc what makes my gpu think i have more than one monitor? Settings were all at default afaik.
Bypass powerplay, it's buggered.Originally Posted by LtMatt

It worked fine in 12.9, id rather have it working as a reference card makes noise at these low clocks.
Ok great, how long will it take to fix do you think?
I guess that will have to do in the meantime, thanks.
Is there an ETA on the fix. I am not installing anything till theres a fix. Kind of sick of AMD drivers IMO theres always something up but I need more performance from my 7970
