Hi Choimaloy, the 7870XT is brand new, and as the 13.1's are basically the 12.11 betas with a few more fixes and tweaks, its possible it hasn't made it into the INF files yet; it wouldn't be the first or last time newly released cards take a month or two to make the official driver releases because of when the drivers go for WHQL testing etc.

Try the 13.2 betas floating around. They're not perfect/finished, but there are meant to be an official beta release coming along soon.

Alternatively Guru3d etc will probably release a modded version of the 13.1s which put it in at some point!

Sapphire 7950 wouldn't work with 13.1. Maybe this is the same thing?

Well that's good to here I thought there was something wrong,about the green overlay that happens when I startup using hdmi could there be a problem there as it doesn't do it through VGA.
