strange driver problem

[dameronb]

hello, i am having strange issues using newer drivers, i use the 177.41s with no problems exept for downclocking, if i try to use any newer drivers that fix this it results in more than half decrease in frame rates, i use driver cleaner and deleate the driver folders and have used the newest drivers on a fresh os install with the same result, is there a fix or do i need a RMA?

If I understand correctly, you are trying newer drivers to remove the downclocking issue.
I suffer from this and newer drivers do not help..yet...

yes and no, if i use the 177.41s i get good fps, if i change the driver to a new one i get more than half less the fps than with the 177.41s but the 177.41 i get downclocking, so thats my problem

Interesting. With > .41's I get higher fps. but downclocking is an issues with all 177's
