I'm trying to overclock my Sapphire 7950 boost. I couldn't increase clock-rate at all until I first increased the power control to +20%. After I did that, I set it all the way to 1150 gpu/1450 mem. Worked great. I went from 7800 to 9700 graphics score in 3dmak.
I sleep or hibernate my computer, then wake it back up. When I run 3dmark again, my score drops down to 6000 or so. I determined that it was due to a problem with the power control resetting itself back to 0% and then throttling my overclock because it's trying to draw more power than the power control will allow. The crazy thing is that it still says 20%. When I change it down, then back to 20%, I'm back to getting 9700 in 3d mark and it stops throttling me.
How can I set the power control to always stay at +20% no matter what. Is there a bios adjustment or registry key I can change? I searched everywhere and there isn't a lot of info about this problem. I also tried disabling ccc overdrive and used trixx and msi afterburner, but they both had the same issue.
