Radeon 5970 HD

it keeps freezing during boot up?

hmm, sounds like it isn't going to overclock well. i'd just keep it at stock clocks.

alright. not all gpu's overclock the same. you might just have a horrible overclocker :o like i said (way earlier) i'd just keep it at stock settings until you get ffxiv and see what kind of frames you get.
 
thats what im thinking XD. Its working now so i think im going to wait till later. ffxiv is better with a working video card then without :D

yeah no kidding :P you can always try going a little lower later down the road (maybe to like 800/1150). for now though, you should be fine :good:
 
alright dude thanks alot for the help! one last thing, there shouldnt be any resulting problems from these test later on down the road right?

no problem. i have nothing better to do :P

you should be fine. the instability-caused freezing shouldn't harm the gpu at all.
 
so I'm wondering, do you think the fail in overclocking is because my 750w power supply? I notice the 5970 requires at least a 650w supply.

It is a possibility. What brand/model of power supply is it?

IN ADDITION..... I finaly got FFXIV and ive been playing it on ok settings in windowed mode so i decided to knock the graphics up and roll with full mode but it FREEZES before playing EVERY TIME... I even turned them down and its still freezing... Whats the deal?

UPDATE:
The company bought this card from has agreed to take the card back at full refund but before i send it back expecting that to fix the problem, could it be my PSU? dosn't window mode take more power then full screen mode? Windowed mode works alright its just full mode that im having a problem with.

shouldn't be the psu. excellent psus and well over what you need in order to run it. no clue why you are having problems with the game. did you maybe try different drivers with it? have the crossfire profiles installed?
 
Hey Joh,

Ive tried 10.3, 10.8, 10.9 and crossfire 10.8 and 10.9, nothing helped. FYI its not just FFXIV, i also tested L4D2 and the same thing in full mode. Its driving me nuts! If its the card ill just send it back and replace it.... although its a pain to take out an dput back in XD. i can run FFXIV on windowed with everything turned up with no freezing (Except its mega laggy which seems right).

-Edit-
Someone told me its something called Hardware Acceleration within Flash player but that doesn't sound right, isn't flash player for internet browser based games?
