I recently brought a sapphire 7950 vapourx and have had nothing but trouble with it .......
At first it seemed unstable (poor frame rate and slow texture load times ) and the vrm1 was getting too hot 90c at 950 clock ,so I flashed the bios to v09 and it lowers the vrm voltage to 1.5 v which helped with the vrm temp but I am still getting low performance (borderlands 2 is jerky at top settings with physx turned to lowest setting and batman on top settings is pretty unplayable ) over clocking and or lowering settings seem to make no difference
I thought it might be a driver problem so uninstalled all and software with driver deeper then reinstalled but got a bsod on startup after that and had to system restore...
I can't return this card or I would already of changed it for something else
So I was hoping someone knows a fix or has similar problems .......or any help as I am considering selling the card as faulty (still goes for around 100) but don't really want to have to pay 100 more for the 660ti (I am done with and )
Any help would be good cheers
