Does it crash at stock settings? Sleeping dogs extreme stresses a gpu thoroughly, its very good at weeding out unstable graphics cards/overclocks.

Power supply is fine and if you downloaded the new drivers then I'm out of ideas.

My version says the 26th hitman. Can you post the software info from ccc please so i can check your version?

wazza300 · 29 Sep 2012 at 16:39

when it crashes what does it do? random coloured screen and freezes or crash to desktop?

id set x.m.p for your memory first,then look in ccc/overdrive settings and add 10% to the power control slider

it loads the menu to the game to start it after pressing continue then it crashes to desktop

if i edit it when in the game the background goes black but the chactacter is there

Yeah good idea wazza, first thing you should do with AMD cards even at stock clocks is set powertune to +20%.

right click the game icon on desktop then click run as administrator,see if that helps,install direct x again,google it

You're using an older dirver mate, visit the AMD site and download the 12.9 Beta Driver + the 12.9 Cap 1 file.

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_vista64.aspx

Don't forget to fully un-install the old driver first, restart, then add the new one+cap.

no it should be fine on turbo,all it does is tighten up secondary ram timings,they will be ok

Not really good advice, I had major problems with the 12.9 beta drivers with my 7870 and a quick google search shows other having problems with them as well.
