Hello. I've recently got myself a 7970 from gigabyte through newegg.
Now I'm having some straaange problems here.
1. If I install the drivers that come with the card from the cd.
I get 120hz refresh rate with minor screen tearing in the middle of the screen once in about 30 minute. Only when the desktop is idle and the clocks are in 2d mode.
Also OCCT fails misirably showing 100k+ errors no matter the stock clocks or OC, no matter the volatges. it just goes nuts as soon as coef. 24 or coef 28 kicks in.
2. If I install the newer drivers from 7900 series.
I get screen tearing at the botton of the screen in 2d mode when refresh rate is 120hz. The tearing are pretty bad. BUT 60hz refersh rate completely fixes the problem and tearing dissapears.
OCCT - dx9 mode coef. stays at 13 and no errors on stock or OC.
So here's the question:
Is that the "awesomness" of the new ATI drivers playing trick on me
or is my card defective and I should RMA it asap?
Thanks.
