Hi guys and gals,

Just got my new powercolor 7870 PCS+ myst into my case, and having installed the 13.3 beta drivers CCC isn't showing any power draw in the overdrive tab (saying at 0%). All other widgets work fine. Any ideas why this may be?

As a side note: I launched sleeping dogs last night to do a benchmark; should the gpu load be on 99% all the time throughout the benchmark? I ran it on everything max +highres textures @1680x1050.

Thanks for your replies

Pretty sure benchmarking should make it run at max percentage. And as for the power draw, try using a tool like GPU-Z or Speccy to determine power usage, the beta drivers might have messed up i think.

I realise now that the power widget is a graphical representation of the power control slider, not power consumption of the board.
