Not entirely sure as i used to get artifacts at that core speed. If i could keep the gpu cooler at those clocks it might be possible. So far it seems before the drivers i need 1.194v for 1125/1500. That's now come down to 1.181v.

I used to get artefacts in Heaven 4 at 1150, just in the chimney smoke. not in any game, just Heaven 4, now it fine at 1150 but i get the same artefacts at 1200, like you it seems to be something to do with temperatures, when it gets to about 74 / 75 is when it starts.

It's seemingly not uncommon for 7950's to start having problems around 74c+

My 7970 loves being kept under 63 degrees. Both core and memory clock better under that. Reference cooler makes a lot of noise keeping it that cool though

What's the latest driver, 13.9? Thanks.

Anybody test batman arum asylum and city for me on these latest beta drivers (with the bf4 performance) as my games now constantly crash/freeze after clicking play.

Windows 8.1 installed smoothly... It kept my settings and even AMD drivers, you think I should download and install the AMD driver for Win 8.1?

What? Where's mine? I thought it was coming via Windows Update? :confused:

Question - I am currently on 13.10B2, is it worth upgrading to 13.11B1?

Also, worth doing a clean install or not?

2 x 7970s AMPs

Just installing W7 on one of my other drives and then W8.1 on my SSD, going to be a busy night with drivers and programs etc but I am interested to see if W8 is performing better on my PC. Project Cars 1st then BF3 then MW3

Shankly I'm sure the driver covers W7 and 8, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes, unstall the old drivers first.
