Hello all!
I recently purchased a Sapphire Vapor-X HD7970 GHz Edition and within a few days started noticing graphical anomalies such as ripples and flickering. Having posted on Tom's Hardware we came to the decision that I had a faulty card and it has since been replaced with a new 7970 but the issue has persisted.
Since then, following advice from Tom's Hardware I have:
- Reset my CMOS
- Reset my CPU Overclock of 4.4GHz
- Tested previous Catalyst Control Center versions (12.2 and 13.1)
- Tested Beta versions of Catalyst Control Center (13.6 Beta)
- Performed a fresh install of current Catalyst Control Center version (13.4)
- Tested the GPU on my secondary PCIe slot (x4 speed)
I am running out of ideas as to what the issue could be :-(
Any suggestions would be deeply appreciated!
OS: Windows 8 Professional 64-bit
MoBo: ASUS P8P67
CPU: Intel i5-2500K @ 3.3GHz
RAM: 8GB SAMSUNG DDR3 @ 1333MHz
GPU: Sapphire Vapor-X Radeon HD7970 GHz Edition 3GB
PSU: Corsair 650W TX650 V2-80 Plus
Cooler: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Evo
Thanks in advance for your help,
Conor
