The 7000 series is a pain in the arse for mining. I really wish I'd only bought 5970s.

oh well. when its too expensive to GPU mine, I'll just have to put em in my PC and play BF3 in super duper detail Cheesy

Orly? 620MH/s @ 160W and temps in the mid 50s? I don't remember my 5970s doing that.

Im well aware of the ULPS bug every driver install i search the registry and set all "EnableULPS" to 0, And all the Crossfire issues, I have one single 7950
MSI? Yeah it's working just fine, Nothing weird or out of the ordinary, Did i mention that only Leage of Legends is Stuttering and skipping audio? And that BF3 Plays Perfectly?

Yes it's overclocked And rather gently to at that, I never touch the voltages, I drop the memory and raise the core (to a point where running intensity 13+a Furmark BURN IN test doesnt have any hiccups in the programming)
Changing the clocks to stock does nothing

I never touched the "power control setting" inside CCC because CCC sucks (or amd overdrive cataylst engine control center, Wtfever they named it)

Thankyou for helping!

Install Sapphire Trixx and check "Disable ULPS"

then install MSI afterburner. Make sure your clock speed is reading what its meant to 800/900/1000 or whatever.

reboot, and tell us what happens

12.8 gave me a lot of problems.... Mostly HD audio problems when trying to use the GPU on my LCD.

OOOoooKaaaayy, So help me out here, Only League of Legends is stuttering, with the 12.9 drivers, But when it does, Everything including sound locksup, My whole sound system goes STICK-continue, I've never had such a seemingly harsh stutter before, And yet mining while playing BF3 is totally smooth 50fps 140mh/s

Does it still do that if you switch off mining?
Is your card overclocked?
Do you have crossfire?

Also do you have your Power control settings set to 20%+

My experience is that 12.8 is the buggiest version out there.

upgraded from 12.8 to 12.9 beta and went from 408mh to 432mh on a 6970 @ 970mhz.

Plus 12.8 would crash my system when i woke it up from screen saver mode while it was mining.

I can confirm on the "buggyness" of the drivers, My game AND sound lockup briefly, Jitter style with these new drivers when gaming, Im Rebooting right now to finish installing 12.9 (i dont know or care if rebooting is neccessary, But im doing it anyways)

I used to get 510mh/s with intensity 10 core 1080
Now im hitting 549 with intensity 7 core 1054

Its apparently Not a glitch.. Cheesy

im happy
my 24/hr earning have just kept going down and down from difficulty, So i went "time to optimize cards for winter mining" and ended up going "oh hell, Why not try cat 12.8" and Poof, 40mh gain

Well if it keeps up then good on ya! I should have watched closer when I upgraded.

Do you have a screeny? Also what other software are you running? cgminer, bitminter etc.

It is highly questionable and most likely a glitch. I have been running 12.8 on my 7970s with normal hashing numbers.

Title says it all, I upgraded to Cat 12.8 from 12.6 and i gained a magical 40mh/s
Can anyone else confirm/deny? Im most certain it was because of the SDK

Edit:
Win7x64ultimate
CAT (now) 12.8
CGminer 2.8.3
XFX 7950 Ghost, Not Double D

Edit:
The jitter problem is fixed by dropping intensity from 6 to 5.
Suuuper weird since it would run at 10 without the sound skip jitter, It would just lag
