Hello everyone,
You might remmber me from some other topics talking about some problems i have with my 7970.
I'll some up some problems i'm encoutering since my purchase:
1. Random artifacts in gaming:

I get random red flickering and bars through my screen.
2. Random artifacts when using web browser / wathcing videos.
Whenever i'm watching a video colored bars flicker in my screen, even when it's not playing.
Whenever i'm browsing the web i get random white block in the webpage.
example:
3. It will randomly super underclock the GPU.
When i was playing civ the other day it will just freeze the game. So i was monitoring GPU-Z and i noticed it completely dropped in volts and clock speed, and then re enabling itself after about 10 seconds.
Here are some screenshots of the artifacts and GPU-Z.

Specs:
Intel Core i5 2500k
7970 lightnihg boost edition
Asus maximus iv gene-z
XFX 650W XXX Edition Modular PSU
Crucial M4 120 gig SSD
Seagate Barracuda 2TB
I have tried beta drivers, legacy drivers, reinstalling drivers, underclocking, overclocking. Without any improvement...
Anyone has experience with this kinda thing?
My experience so far with AMD IS HORRIBLEEEEEE.
P.S. Already RMA'd my first 7970 expecting a DOA card, but even with a new card, problem still exists.
