ATI 6970 Won't run at Full MHz??

[Phazon]

The HD6xxx series seems mostly unaffected. They have a different bios and a different version of PowerPlay which controls the card's power usage and clock speeds. I've seen alot of cases with the HD4xxx series (myself included), not too sure about the HD5xxx series.

How would I know if my card was under-clocking?

I have a 5870 but it's not over-clocked; is it only over-clocked cards that are being affected or is it a general ATI thing?

S!

Seems that for some this underclock thing is solved by opening CCC and enabling the overclocking. Then OC just a couple MHz and bam, it works. I used AMD system monitor to see if my clocks work OK and they do.

What I am going to do is to report the "3 blue lines" to the driver feedback as it seems to affect only AMD cards. Performance wise devs would need to take a look in the smokes causing massive slow downs, the dust at landing making a big hit as well and shadows flickering/hit on fps. When the game is "ready" then the rest is up to AMD/nVidia to tweak their drivers to work on the title

I also have the "blue lines", 4-5 of them I think. I've only noticed them while over water though. Also I get this big blueish/purpleish square in the far distance over land in some places.

The 5570 is good,although I am looking forward to the crossfire fix which Luthier reckons will be with us in a couple of weeks(I have duel cards).

But the one card is doing the best it can.However I bet that 6970 is bloody marvelous,I have plans to get one of these,soon.
