Hi,
I have a Sapphire 5770 Vapor-X, running 10.9 drivers, had it since around Feb, from OcUK. I get an "ati display driver stopped responding and has recovered" msg pop up at least once a day playing games, tried at stock pc and stock gfx settings, same thing, tried 10.8 10.6 10.10, still happened. No BSOD, just a solid colour on the screen for a few secs, then a black screen and... then it's back to normal. This only happens randomly in games, never at desktop/browsing/idle etc and I've gone hours a few times playing without seeing the error, never happens unless a new-ish 3D game is running (played through Deus-Ex recently and never happened, not once).
Same problem with this card when tested in another rig (everything @ stock again) I've tried running the card at lower than stock speeds using GPU Clock Tool, but same ****. Thinking maybe it needs more volts but the voltage is locked and I don't think I can unlock it either.
P.S. If you play WoW then you probably know Phase 4 of the pre-cata launch event went live the other day... I was taking part in this last night - Stormwind City, lots of players in one area... I had the "driver crashed and recovered" error about 15 times in ~1hr
Anyone have/had this problem? Should I just try RMA? Any help appreciated
