Is it a possible for you to try the card in another computer? It sounds like it or the PSU is failing.

Is that the only game you've tried? Run 3dmark Vantage, 3dMark 11, and Unengine Heaven and see if the card works. If it does, then it's a software problem with the game.

It may have to do with the P-State of the 5970. In 2D mode the GPU drops to a core speed of @157 with 300Mhz memory and may be "Drooping" when call upon to Clock-up?

Try upping the GPU core from @750 to @777 this should keep the G-core from dropping below @300Mhz at idle.

I prefer MSI AfterBurner for this on start-up
