Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Yeah, it seems pretty weird that we both get stuck at the same core clock. Changing the voltage didn't seem to make a difference.
I guess everyone should be running the AMD Leo demo instead of Heaven on loop to test the stability of their clock?
1225/1790 @ 1.225v 72°c full load
I started getting a black screen under full load after running for about 15 minutes at 1250 core with no artifacts during the test - increasing the voltage above 1225 didn't seem to help.
As for the memory, if I go above 1790 I get an all white screen and...
Do you still experience the stuttering when running the game in Window mode? If not, it sounds like you're running into the 64hz bug. Read about it here: http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/485708-skyrim-stuttering-64hz-bug-fix/
I believe you're required to flash the bios on that card. The Sapphire non-Dirt version has a very high success rate of just flipping the switch and then installing the card into your computer to unlock all the shaders.
The "$310 ($265, *$290 after MIR*) Sapphire 6950 2GB WITH **$20 MIR**" one will unlock to 6970 shaders just by flicking the bios switch. I had a hell of a time ordering mine in the past, as they were always out of stock, and I assume that's due to how easy they're to unlock.
Also, be sure to speak with a Newegg customer service rep after you purchase the new card. They refunded me the restocking fee on the two 6950s I returned so I could purchase a 7970.
Also, I had to use the "Desktop Management - Creating and Arranging Desktops" section in CCC when creating the Extended Desktop Preset. If I tried configuring the displays in Windows 7's display manager, the settings wouldn't stick to a preset in CCC.
You're correct, they're called Presets. I had issues configuring them as well, and I ended up having to create the Eyefinity preset first and then the Extended desktop preset afterward for it to work.
