7970m framerate problem!

[zomo001]

Framerate drops randomly from 70 to 20fps and then goes back to 70. I've tested it on Black Ops 2, Witcher 2, Sleeping Dogs.

2720QM (2.2)
8GB RAM kingston hyperx
SSD 250gb
7970m 2GB

Cant tell what is the problem. Black Ops MP is unplayable sometimes. Is it common 7970m problem? Its nothing to do with game settings I tried everything vsync off/on and low/high detail settings. Im using latest beta drivers ATI released. Is there anything I might be missing? Not sure if its windows fault or drivers settings fault.

please help.

Unfortunately it is a common problem, although I thought all the issues had been ironed out with the latest drivers. You could try to uninstall all AMD drivers then re-install the latest non Beta ones and see if that helps.

Here's an article telling of the problem a few months back and the possible fix (which should now be part of the latest drivers) : http://www.anandtech.com/show/6353/testing-amds-hd-7970m-enduro-hotfix

You can blame the Enduro technology on the graphics card for this problem. I have the same card, and honestly I wish I had gone for a nVidia...
The drivers don't for me neither, I got BSOD and the card stopped working, I had to System Restore.
