I recently tried to over clock my HD7970 and suffered from instability even at the 1000MHz over clock recommended on the box. It was seemingly stable in Kombustor however I had artifacts in games. I reset to stock clock speeds and checked GPU-Z under load and noticed that 12V and VDDC dropped significantly.
(12V:12.22-12.16 VDDC:1.039-0.984)
Should I try RMA the card, is there something I can do to fix this issue or is this normal?
Hardware specs:
CPU: Intel i5 750
Power Supply: Seasonic M12 II 750W
Motherboard: GIGABYTE P55M-UD2
Graphics Card: Sapphire HD 7970 Dual X 3GB
Memory: 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws
