Nice Nice this should be badass.

Awesome build, love the complete water cooling on the mobo i'm following this one.

Well all was working until i started get random driver crashes and BSOD's using the 2d-3d profiles. Even at stock settings. This thing just seems messed up. I have tried almost every BIOS for it and solved nothing. I am pretty sick of spending all my gaming time trying to get this damn thing to work the way it should. I have put in an RMA request to NCIX. Lets see what they say about the issue. The only thing i can think of trying now is different brands of cards bios's. But i really think i just got a funk GPU. I have checked and recheck everything and there is no bottleneck, nor is there instability issues without this card running. Would like to thank Skilled Rebuilds for all his help, but i'm fresh out of ideas and apparently the internet has nothing left for me to try. Better luck with the next card i guess.

I just wanna buy a nice new gaming headset that doesn't have frekin inline controls.

Well my clocks are holding now at 1150/1475 for a decent gaming session using the profile technique skilled rebuilds suggest thanks! Still not underclocking correctly, getting some screen jitters. I'll look into it more tomorrow.

And my voltages are all over the place. But even when i lock it down to its voltage locked state at 1.250 same issues.

No no was never using them simultaneously just turning one off and trying the other to see it it helped. Yes the tick box was applied. Have not tried the profiled tab thing you whole post wasn't there when i first read it, i'll give it a go. Yeah i have been using OSD with HWINFO to monitor in game. As depicted here: http://www.overclock.net/t/1229915/how-to-cpu-and-gpu-usage-along-with-fps-in-game I am not sure what my issue is to be honest, other than it can't up it's clock when it needs to and can't underlock itself when i doesn't need to. I seem to be stuck in the middle somewhere. All running decently cool. Right now i am at my stock settings at 1000/1250mhz. Can't even hit that it seems. The memory clock is always at 1250mhz in or out of load. The GPU clock ramping from 900-1000mhz and back again under full load like a gpu boost that shouldn't be happening., and at 500 mhz not in load. Neither or which is what the power state settings show it should be doing.

Yeah i searched that when i was OCing it. Didn't see a whole lot it regards to the issue i'm having. Just a couple sketchy looking ways to unlock the voltage but only really useful for underclocking/undervolting for mining and such which i have now use for. Also not seeing anyone say theres undervolted itself either like mine does.

Yep latest bios and yep had the same issues using vision engine control center overdrive at +20 and afterburner at +20 all saved as you said.

Nope even if i ramp the fans to 100% manually and run furmark, my max temp barley hits 60 and same issues.

Catalyst drives? I have tried 13.4 and 13.5. Now that i think of it its like my card its boosting from 900mhz to 1000mhz back and forth constantly like its says it does on gigabytes site. But they now are shipping at 1000mhz stock which may be causing all these problems? I'm pretty sure this has been happening since i bought the card. Now that i monitor TF2 it has the same problems. Difference was when i was OCing and stress testing with furmark and heaven, everything ran how it should have. Now it does not.

Bumping can't figure out how to fix it. Fear of RMA rising.

Sold out.

Thats normal is it not? It shows only either +1-20 or -1-20 if you use the power control settings.

My CMOS battery died a couple weeks ago. Thought my mobo was done just ended up being a 1 dollar battery.

Eh. As far as gaming goes this won't be replacing the mouse.

I know from my CPU anyway thermal paste can be weird. Took me 5 applies once to get my CPU back to its normal temp state after it was ramping up like crazy. Chances are you're using too much. Make sure your heatsink and whatever else you rook apart is in order like Chaotic said, then give it another go with the paste.

Yep It's was on +20 since i OCed it. Dosen't seem to make any difference now on or off.

More extensive titles. I have been playing TF2 a lot and probably why i didn't notice a problem sooner, as tf2 doesn't max it out anyway. But when i starting playing Dayz again and Bioshock infinite when i noticed the issue. I was just using furmark to max it out when i was testing and trying to figure it out.

Running everything a stock latest bios same problems.

So i've had my gigabyte windforce 7950 for about a month now. At the start everything was great got a good OC and was very happy temps were great thought i had a winning card. Now i have no idea what the puck is wrong with it. I noticed about a week about i was getting really bad visual lag and jitters in game. First i thought it was my mouse or somthing, then noticed my card was running at 900Mhz from a 1150mhz OC at full load. The card was jumping from 900mhz to 1000mhz and back constantly. Its is also undervolting itself when it shouldn't. I really don't remember it undervolting itself at all when i was OCing it, Its supposed to be voltaged locked? Its also not under clocking correctly. Before when not in load it would drop to 300mhz/150mhz as in it's stated performance state. Now its lowering itself to 500Mhz and not lowering the mem clock at all at its stock 1250mhz. So i disabled my OC nothing changed. Other than the card now jumping from 500mhz to 900mhz, 1000mhz is its stock clock. Then sometimes jumping from 900mhz to 1000mhz and back again under full load. The voltages were changing frequently and not even hitting its "voltage locked" target at 1.250 under full load. So i thought easy fix i'll just lock the voltage down in MSI afterburner. No go. When i locked my voltage locked cards voltage (lol) at 1.250 same issues. I Literally haven't changed anything since from when it was running fine (i think it was) to now. I uninstalled catalyst and plopped in the latest beta driver. Notta. Have no idea what is wrong with it. Hoping i don't have to RMA it. Running a single 27" 1440p display corsair 850W PSU so it's getting enough power. Gigabyte 890GPA UD3H 1090T 6 cores at 4Ghz Any help greatly appreciated!

^^^ You can get 2 steam keys for both games you just have to pay over $1. I did and got both steam keys. Played the original Alan Wake, awesome game you get into the story. The combat is pretty dry and repetitive but the storyline and feel are well awesome. Definitely worth it. Always good to have a game like this to mix things up from your MMO's, FPS's, and RPG's. I'm in to give american nightmare a try.

At full load the fan at 95% its pretty loud but not terrible i don't mind. Temps are good at about 30-35 idle 63-70 while gaming at about 70-75 while benchmarking.

7950 for $220? Link please lol.

Yeah seems to be stable ran quite a few heaven benchmarks. Max temp hit was 75c. Going to download 3Dmark an retest with that though. Heaven just seems off, a restart changed my benchmark scores entirely using same clocks.
