    The past few weeks my graphics card is only going up to 600 for the core clock instead of the default 860 it was running at. The memory clock is still at 1200.

    I have also noticed that MSI is not reading the GPU processing %. Everything was working fine before in my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

    Luckily for me I still have XP and also Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit installed. In XP MSI works fine and the clock speeds are perfect. In Ubuntu the speeds are also 860-1200, it is just in Win 7. The benefits of running more than one OS are that you can identify if hardware is working okay. It is obviously a software/OS/driver problem. If I only had Win 7 I would be RMA'ing the Graphics card right now.

    I am running the new AMD CCC drivers 10.12 in Win 7. I have now un-installed 10.12 and gone back to 10.10 which worked a treat before. Guess what? All is well again!

    I have the following AMD CCC drivers:
    • 10.10 - Win 7 Pro 64-bit
    • 10.07 - Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit
    • 10.04 - Win XP

    That was a close call!
