Hmm, I'm not sure if you have the most up-to-date drivers. I believe I had that problem at first until I applied the 10.12 drivers w/ hotfix. You're idle clocks should be at 250/150.

You need to update to 10.12 drivers. You're lucky that's your only problem. I have a 6970, and I've had a hell of a time trying to get every thing to work. Try to download and install the Catalyst Control Center. Then check to see if the 10.12 drivers installed with it. I had to install them separately for some reason. Let us know if the issue remains.

By the way: When I OC in Afterburner, CCC automatically recognizes the new clock settings.

It may just be the drivers are a little old but I had a similar problem after flashing my HD6950, CCC did not set the correct speeds, all I needed to do was click the defaults button and all was well.

Same here, but when I first installed the 6970 after I already had the MSI afterburner set for the 6950, the ATI Overdrive settings were messed up at first.

Sorry to go off topic, but did you have any trouble with Windows? I still can't get the WEI to run. Do you have this issue or know how to fix it? It took a while before I managed to get Aero working too.

After I reset Afterburner, the only issue I've had was with Internet explorer web pages that have flash videos. I use Firefox now. Although all I had to do was close a page I viewed a flash video on and it fixed itself, but Firefox has no issues.

WEI is the Windows Experience Index. (Right click Computer and click Properties)

I had the same issue with not being able to install the drivers to 10.12. Download and install the driver separately, not the CCC package.
