Well Thracks thinks its simply down to a not stable overclock. I'm not sure what to make of that as it does it from 950 all the way up to 1100. Find it hard to believe that running on everything else fine it isn't a clocking card at all. Would those of you who have also had this issue believe that? No disrespect or anything, he will clearly know a lot more than me!

Does it do it at stock?
 
Well it hasn't done it at stock, but I haven't played it for long at all on stock to know for sure. I must concede that if it doesn't then the problem could well be an unstable clock as thracks says.

If this is the case should I up the voltage and see if that helps?

Yes and Yes!
 
well, not that I want to jinx it, but a slight voltage increase appears to have solved it.

I was watching the voltage on gpu-z and when the game stuttered I saw that the voltage took a temp dive and the clocks were changing then.

Originally I had upped the voltage way too high and the VRAM overheated.. oops :( my bad.

Now it seems more stable and was running well for about 30mins. As soon as the planetside servers are up again I'll do some more testing.

Thanks to everyone who has helped, really appreciated! (I'll check back in once more tests done to confirm :)

I really don't know if I can be bothered to dual boot to Windows 7 to check if it is :( may yet have to!

I have asked Thracks about it, so will wait to hear what he has to say. Will post any updates as and when I have them!! :confused:

I had this other day on Fifa 13 black screen game came back on but was very laggy. I then seen I was running @500/150 even after quitting game it was still stuck a system restart fixed it.
I not had this happen since and I was using 13.2 beta 4 using Windows8 and was using Radeonpro.

Strange

Just reinstalled battlefield 3 and can confirm this issue did not happen at all unlike last time. Only difference was this time im not using RadeonPro and im not trying to force triple buffering.

That's interesting indeed, do you think radeon pro's force triple buffering was doing it? Or coincidence?. I put it down to voltage dips, I thought having the 'force constant voltage' on in afterburner would hold it steady, but its all over the place on some games.. unless user error again???
