Hey all, built my new PC the other day with a 3570k, 16gb ram and the Asus 7970 and thought I'd try and squeeze a little more performance out of the card. It runs fine at the 925mhz stock clock (although the heaven benchmark with the ocuk recommended settings only scores in the 1400's, is that a little low?), and yet I am completely unable to raise the core clock even slightly without the benchmark crashing after a couple of minutes.
I've tried several oc programmes including afterburner and gpu tweak and I'm also unable to adjust the voltage. I've looked around and the voltage being set in stone seems to be a common complaint as well. Even at stock voltage though, people seem to be getting 1100mhz stable easily whereas mine will lock up even below 1000. Am I being a moron and doing something wrong, or does it look like I might have a duff card?
Cheers all.
