Yep, straight from the Heaven thread. This is the lowest 7950 score on the board:
Score 867, GPU 7950 @1075/1300, CPU i7 930 @4.0, BriT
Mines well off that. Any suggestions?

Trying to flash the BIOS using your guide on post #2 and Im missing the BOOTLOG files? Ive disabled hiding files in control panel but still cant view the bootlog files
Just ignore it and try the flash.

Worked for me with only Atiflash and Matt.rom in there. 
Off to work now.

Try doing the BIOS flash as suggested on the front page of the thread I think.
I can confirm your score is low as my best score is 875; that's with the same GPU @ 1080MHz core, 1600MHz memory and an inferior Phenom II tri-core @ 3.6GHz.

Mine was the same (possibly a windows 8 thing?) and I flashed it anyway and worked fine.

OK thanks guys i will update that part of the guide and ask tommy to update the OP as well.
EDIT

Hay,
I had a play around and can get everything stable at 1.2v now.
I am planning on crossfireing and also getting a WC loop in there with a D5 pump, does anyone know if an OZC ZS 750watt psu will be enough?

750W will be enough. I'm not familiar with that psu, just make sure its good.

nice one...I think it is half decent, should be ok for a while longer.
Just seen my number of posts.... still a little ways of the MM

I'd guess drivers.
I'm guessing your GPU ones are up-to-date, but what about your motherboard/chipset ones?
Just got my 7950 to replace my old 5850 Toxic 1GB, so far I have only enabled AMD Overdrive, set the sliders to 1100/1400 and set to +20%.
Ran Tomb Raider Benchmark and played CoD2 for 30 minutes, looking good so far.
Tomb Raider scored 92.7 fps Average with the settings on Ultra @1920/1080 and v-sync Off.
Only issue I have is that since upgrading, I get horrible screen flicker on my 2nd and 3rd screens, both running off a 5450 in the second PCI-E slot.

Thanks Tommy and LtMatt.
Managed to get clocks to 1100 core 1400 memory with voltage of 1175 and 30+ on the power limit.
I am getting very slight GPU usage throttles now and again but nothing like they were.
Great card for the money.

Once flashed, is it recommended to run the power limit to max (30%/50%)?
Associate
You only need to up the power limit to 20% for 1100/1400 over clock judging from my own card, beyond that it may throttle and require a bit more though.
Soldato
Oh Ok Ill keep that in mind.
One more question guys, I promise
When I type in atiflash in the DOS, it gives me all these options/commands, but everytime I press a button it just moves on to the next screen untill the end where I would have to put atiflash again
Also, my keyboard doesnt seem to be the same when in DOS every key seems different
So I cant really type anything except atiflash because it gives me invalid command everytime I try to type more in
BLOODY HELL.. that was a struggle trying to guess what characters have been assigned to what keys

Done.
I added an alternative USB app to the op for those having problems creating a bootable USB using the app in matts guide, could save some headaches.
Try +35%, that might just stabilise it, I usually run at +30 but there have been the odd title TR/Hitman AB that needed that little extra.

Never heard of that before, hope you got there in the end.
Yes, yes and yes, AB is fine on matts modded bios files.
Make sure you reboot after installing driver, if you had AB installed previously, I find it's best to manually delete the MSI Afterburner folder from C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner(or wherever it was installed) as it can stop the new clocks voltage from applying.

@Matt,
Do you think it's worth you wording it up to add into your guide?

I had this with my 5770 whenever I was using anything but stock clock settings. I read up on it for a fix but the internet could only say that it is a fault present in the 5 series cards.
If you find a fix let me know.
Use RBE bios editor and up the vram clocks or/and voltage on the 5450?
Sounds like the idle clocks aren't high enough on the vram when running dual screens.
Or dual screen the Ice-Q for simplicity???

Hi everyone
I've just bought one of these to replace my XFX DD 7950, installed it and I'm getting no signal at all to my monitor. Reinstalled my XFX and it works just fine, but the HIS just isn't having any of it.
Tried uninstalling the drivers completely and it still doesn't work, totally at a loss here which is unusual for me. Does anybody have any ideas? Anything is appreciated
Thanks
