AMD - 7970 - driver - shotgun

I'm gonna try and keep this as civilized as i possibly can. as of now i have tried every driver that supports the "7000 series" and probably a few that doesn't.....
 

over the course of the last 8 days i've had non-stop continuous problems with my system, mainly or only! with my GPU's.

 

Errors crashes and displaydriver F*******ups nonstop left and right. 

 

NOW! this only happens when i am playing BF4 ( irony alert, the game designed to work best for AMD). so far it have not happened while playing WoW and MOH. i have tried running it in crossfire and not, i've tried different monitors i've done pretty much everything apart from shooting these cards out into F* outer space.

 

also i'm experiencing extensive screene tearing in my browser/idle/movies whatnot ( NOT GAMING ) 

 

so i guess what i'm asking for is what the actual absolute F* is going on with AMD and their drivers.

 

i haven't been using my gaming rig for around 1-2 years. before i put it away i was playing every AAA title on 200 fps on max settings so this is mindboggling 

 

can some genius shed some light here, also i wouldn't mind talking to someone who actually owns one or more 7970's.

 

and before i hear some shit about other brands, this is not why i am here, i already have 980TI's. im looking for a SOFTware solution. 

 

and "AMD SUX" comments couldn't be more counterproductive so spare me the waste of cherry keys pressed

Yes i am the same

what do you mean like that?.. i've been perfectly nice...

why would i need to use DDU?. i did a clean install each time 

 

So you don't use DDU to uninstall your drivers?

So each time you try a driver for the "7000" series you re-install windows?

the whole original post is in white text......

Pro Tip: don't use flash when taking pictures of your build; use a longer exposure instead. Prop up your camera with something (preferably a tripod) if necessary.

if you use retarded/autistic/etc to mean stupid please gtfo

im at that level of fed up so yes, after each driver i tried i wiped my drive and reinstalled windows.

 

Is windows updated everytime you reinstall? And all the other drivers?  

 

After a certain update, chrome stop artifacting on my 280x.

They're holding up good aren't they? You've said it works fine in WoW and MOH.

iguess.. i feel sorry for people who aren't tech savvy, they will basically have two unusable cards ( or one ) oh well thanks for the help.

I'll just be clear, not everyone is having the problem you're facing.

 I know 3 others with 7970's with no issues also. Try them in a different computer. Other then that I can't really help you.
