Hi Guys,
I upgraded from a Sapphire 6870 to a Gigabyte 7950 recently.
GPUz seems to report my 7500 series fine, as well as CCC and MSI afterburner.
But apps like CPUz, any game in the options menu, dxdiag all show that i still have a 6800 series with 3GB memory available.
I've followed every step in this guide
Yet it still shows as 6800. I've ran Ccleaner on the reg as well as driver fusion but still no change.
I know its not a huge problem, but its just annoying that it reports it incorrect. Does anyone happen to know a fix or this?

Any Ideas? Thanks
