Disappointing 7950 benchmark results

Well I can't seem to adjust the Voltage with any utilities, appears disabled in all.
Only Trixx gives me an indication, something about ULPS. I've disabled it everywhere and followed loads of guids on the net and I still can't change the Voltage.
I'd ideally like to be able to do it with Afterburner as I like the program and have been using it for ages.

also what version you using of Afterburner? did u enable the voltage control in Afterburner ?

7x00 support is in 2.2.0 beta 12 and higherI already did the registry tweaks and didn't succeed. I was using 2.1 as the beta wouldn't work earlier, just did some messing around and got the beta on now and I think voltage control is working.

What did it, DriverSweeper?
Running beta 15 now, thanks.
Why don't they release a new stable version?
I think so, thanks.
I've done a bit of overclocking. I've never really overclocked a GPU before, it's always been CPU for me.
Got the card at 1150mv, core 1100 mem 1500. Not sure what the card can take voltage wise tbh, temps during the Heaven benchmark reached 70 degrees, with the standard fan profile.
Here's the new score, I'm getting happier.
If anyone has any pointers on what settings are safe to run at that'd be appreciated.
AMD make some very good cards, but they still suffer from too many driver bugs. It is crazy that you need to use third party software (DriverSweeper) to remove registry gremlins after upgrading from one AMD card to another. I had exactly the same issue recently after going from a 6850 to a 6950, and they were of the same series.
Once you get them working though, they tend to be fine.

Never had to use driversweeper or when changing from AMD card to AMD.
Yes some people may have to do that but i have seen the same for some people on the NV forum, its just that you make it sound like its only a possible blanket AMD issue for some users and not for some NV users and very likely compounded by the fact that it has personally happened to you with AMD and may not of happened to you personally with NV.
There is far to much my experience = de-facto.

This is mine @ 1150/1450 with 1175v... My temps are staying below 75.c so I think I will leave as is for now....
Looking at that screenie, you haven't got 4 x AA applied.
