    7900 xtx and weird artifacts pixels

    Just an update, recently got my warranty claim fulfilled and got a new card, no issues whatsoever like before! On one hand I'm so pleased but on other it sucks I had to do all this research to be sure (and not even 100%) they'll accept it in the end but oh well :)

    7900 xtx and weird artifacts pixels

    Here's a rundown of everything I've tried before and recently, in no particular order. If anyone has any idea what else to try let me know. I plan to keep trying new games until I find enough where it happens consistently and then I can send it back because all the stress and benchmarks are...

    Screen flickering in 2d - Sapphire 7970

    Well I just did OCCT test for half an hour and temperature was 90-95 degrees Celsius.. If that's not bad I don't know what is. Also during CPU test my i5 3570k was under heavy load at ~70 temp, OCed from 3.4 to 3.8, is that a lot?

    Screen flickering in 2d - Sapphire 7970

    Here's pic of my case inside and from area where it's at. I know cables are mess but they're out of the way and ones inside I never look at and ones on outside I've been moving a lot so haven't gotten around to tidying up. Fan on heatsink blowing toward exhaust one on the back, ones on...

    Screen flickering in 2d - Sapphire 7970

    Increased 2D clock to 500 and other one to 300 but it went by itself to 700, will report back what happens. Tried HDMI cable before and it was the same. More worried about heat problem now, and if higher 2d clocks will make it run even hotter at idle. (40-50 with same fan speed % still sounds...

    Screen flickering in 2d - Sapphire 7970

    Thanks, it being fixed by me using underclocked profile and not flickering in game made it clear that's the solution however I wanted to know if it's "normal" or something I should RMA the card for, but while looking for solution I found a lot of people like me and yourself that had this so it...

    Screen flickering in 2d - Sapphire 7970

    I haven't tried using new BIOS, will it void my warranty if I do? I am the first owner and I bought it new along with rest of PC in the beginning of may so it's still under warranty and if there's anything wrong with it I'd rather send it back than spend my time fixing it and worrying about it...

    Screen flickering in 2d - Sapphire 7970

    Just noticed my 7970 goes to 80c with fan on 80+% (due to fan curve in afterburner), this isn't right? This seems very excessive plus flicker problem, is it bad after all? Was playing a game so not idle.

    Screen flickering in 2d - Sapphire 7970

    I will try, I'm underclocked atm and no flickers for a while, waiting, took a while on HDMI yesterday too. (800 and 925)
