Re: (Probably late) Amd 12.11 drivers bring performance increase Did you wear a static wristlink and turn off and unplug the PSU before working on it? |

kudos:2 | No static wristlink, but I definitely turn off and unplug the PSU before I start touching anything.
I ended up reinstalling drivers from the mother board disc as well as from AMD's site once I got the network card up and running.
Fresh install of WoW, ventrilo, mumble, curse client, and GPU-Z. A brief test while sitting idle in Orgrimmar last night ended up with stable voltage and 43c temps.
I'm not exactly sure what the problem was, but a complete system reset seems to have fixed it...I'm happy it did, but it was just a pain in the ass.

Everything is running smoothly. I've used MSI Afterburner to OC the card slightly...Off the top of my head I want to say I've turned the core clock up to 1170MHz (from 1100), the memory clock up to 1260MHz (from 1200), and the max power turned up 7%. I ran a couple FurMark Benchmarks (1920x1080) and ended up getting a score in the 2590s with a max temp of 68c, higher than the 7970s they had on comparison chart...I'm not sure if that score is good/bad/whatever, but it seems decent in my opinion.
Also, I've not gotten any errors or issues since the reinstall.

Salt Lake City, UT | Good to hear you got it working! Sometimes wiping everything and starting over is the way to go. Lol. |
