Hello all,
Sorry if this question has been answered before but i can not seem to find it anywere. I have had the same problem with 2 seperate Radeon HD cards (His 6950 and now a Gigabite 7870) when i try to raise the voltage, even a little, via MSI Afterburner of the software included with the 7870, cant remember the name of the software, i get screen flicker in windows when i mouse over the taskbar or when i am on the internet. I ran Kombuster and Furmark to stress the cards and i get no artifacting or strange activity at all plus temps are normal for both.
So i thought maybe PSU or my PCI E slot on my Mainboard so i took the 6950 out and installed in another computer and the exact same thing happened. So im thinking this must be a 2d issue because it only happens at stock voltages and when i revert to default settings on the card and reboot windows its back to normal...
Is this a driver issue maybe? i have the latest cataylast drivers as of todays date. Is there anyone out there who has had this problem and can offer a solution? I would like to OC this 7870 a bit
I appreciate any help in this matter.
System:
Intel i7 3770k
ASUS Maximus Gene 4 (ROG) Micro atx p68 Mainboard
Onboard audio
OCZ 750w PSU
Gigabite HD 7870 Video card
Windows 7 64bit
