Hiya. My 7970 keeps changing its clock speed around at +0% Power Limit now, even at stock clocks. It's pretty annoying to watch a line bounce up and down while gaming (or furmarking/kombusting/whatever). Going up to 20% fixes it, but I don't want to draw any more power than absolutely necessary, and I'm not quite sure if rapidly changing clocks while at load is the healthiest thing in the world for my card. Is there any way I could fix this?

i5 4670k @ 4.9GHz - Stock Heatsink - The rest is melted silicon but I think I have a graphics card in there somewhere It surprises me how many people on this forum can't read benchmarks.

Sounds like a defective card to me. Get it RMA'd.

I overclocked my card once just to see how far it could go because I know I'd probably kill my hardware if I kept it that way. It's been at stock otherwise. I'm not terribly knowledgeable in the field. (The reason it says 1050 up there is because that program's been open for months). I saw it doing that while playing a game, then opened up Kombustor to see if it persisted. No overclocking guide I've read has mentioned a problem like this, but I've read only a few.
I'm assuming it's because the GPU isn't having enough power delivered to it, but I'm probably wrong.

I'm not trying to overclock. I was wondering why this problem appeared out of the blue. I fully intend to remain at stock clocks, but my GPU hasn't been doing this before (at 0% power threshold).
20% seems to work fine.

I don't follow the 5-10MHz at a time thing.
I do around 15MHz to 25MHz.
Nothing has gone wrong so far :3
Honestly, you don't get anything from being cocky. No one cares about how big your feet are.
It hasn't. Temps are just fine :3
