Alright OCN so I've been playing around and tweaking my 7970 so much and I just can't get it to break 1125/1575mhz @ 1.200v VDDC and 1.600v MVDDC no matter what. I've tried it with ULPS on and ULPS off. I'm using the /xcl method (official method) with the latest version of MSI AB (3.0.0 beta) and anything above 1125/1575 will pass 3DMark 11, 3DMark, and Heaven 4.0 without artifacting but as soon as I put it to the test in a game say Skyrim it will artifact on me like the card is dying. Graphical glitches all over, occasional screen flashing, game freezing etc. So what I'm asking is, is what causes this? Is my chip really just limited to 1125mhz or is there something I'm doing wrong? Any help would be much obliged.
P.S. - I've even tried flashing separated Bios's with ATIWinFlash to no avail. The card always locks up so I'm sticking with both Bios's stock for now.
