Hello people of TomshardWare!

I have a question for you guys because i have no clue.
To startoff:
I have an Club3d 13' Radeon 7950
And 500W For the power.
The clock settings (default) http://prntscr.com/5ng4z3
So if i play CSGO and Diffrent games, if i play them i get lagg spikes from 150 to 30-40 FPS very anoying. I play CSGO on really low settings and have all the drivers. Clocking the GPU higher gives me more lagg ( i think out of expierence )
How do i fix this? Better power source?

Greetings,

Jesse

Yea that could be it, if you oc it, it draws more power, and if thats causing more frame rate issues than that can be your issue,

if you look at the tdp for the 7950 its 200 watts, i would recommend getting a 750 watt or higher. Also depends on you other hardware too.

Heres a great psu

Tyree, i want to say just one more thing is it possible that the lagg just appeared? Because at some point i just got lagg just out of nowhere without clocking or without anything, So may this lead to another solution? Or is it the PSU

Yeah that actualy makes it sound more like the psu, at first you got the card, it was fine, now all of the sudden its not working so well, that could either mean its not getting enought juice or your card is about die, thats all.

Sometime i have another issue i didnt know how to discribe it but i think i can now: Sometimes when opening a youtube video my screen goes purple/whiteish i cant see shit on my main moniter its all purple and white stripes like looping an effect.
