Hi, for HD 7970 you need this drivers, not the regular releases for now: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticl [...] river.aspx

 

2. Sorry, I don't know abot the "coli noise".

 

*Completely uninstall your current drivers before installing the new one.

Do a clean install of your drivers, newest one! (The one that the post above says).

By meaning clean install is to uninstall old drivers.

I think it's because the card just came out and it's having issues.
I've had some minor problems with my HIS 7970. weird graphical arifacts keep popping up on starcraft 2.

Checkerboard patterns pop up on the screen once in a while, and when I scroll away from that part of the screen the checker board goes away, only to reappear again sometime later.

Like everyone else has said, it's probably a driver issue that'll besorted out within the next month or so.

DAM!!
Another issued " flickering "

Under power options, I have my monitor set to turn off after 15 minutes. Once this happens, any 3D game I play will have severe tearing or flickering. Rebooting will solve the problem.

Well I think it's AMD's problem, they still need to fix this because you know that new cards are usually have buggy drivers. Be patient for a moment if you would like.

Hello,

Gameing

I only run into problems like that when the framerate is extremely high. Normally it'll be a menu or other static image. Turning on v-sync can help get rid of it. It may not be the video card either. It may be the power supply. I had a motherboard that would cause my power supply to squeal.


Don't you think I need a new supply?

my old PSU has been using since i7-920, 2 and half year with no squeal.

Corsair CMPSU-750TX,
