I would like to ask the community or any AMD admin the following problem that a close friend of mine faces:
Sapphire HD 7950 Vapor-X with boost (core 950MHz - memory 1250MHz) clock underperforming.
After restart or at desktop apps core 300MHz - memory 150Mhz which is normal
The problem is that in games or when a benchmark is running memory goes to 1250MHz but the core speed stays at 501MHz!!!
Can anyone please help?
Thank you in advance!!

The core speed will not jump to it's max. It is dynamic and does so based on load. If it is not working as it should. Do a clean install of the driver. You run the driver installer, choose custom, not express and pick clean install. If this easy approach does not fix things. Run DDU from safe mode and reinstall the driver. You can do that first if you don't mind a little extra time and hassle. Make sure your performance profile is on high performance in Windows too.
