so I got two 7970
I put one in my brothers and one in my computer
I tried both in both computer same issue
its has black Block on the monitor sometimes when at load however does not seem to do when gaming only BTC mining but it was only tested in WOT so maybe gaming also
temps are good both stay under 70c
could it be drivers? im running 13.1 for both
I could not see both cards being bad :shrug:
also for my computer I did a clean install few days ago so it had no CCC from the 6970 only plug n play drivers think that could be it?
but with bro comp it had CCC 12.6 and uninstalled and than took the 5870 out and put the 7970 in

I will try to get a pic of it but it comes and go fast but its the Same issue with both computers im thinking bad drivers or it downloaded bad or its 13.1 just bad?
