Hi all,
I've had my laptop now with the 7970m for almost 2 years, and since day 1 I've been having on going problems with the graphics in the game, which is thanks to AMD's amazing Enduro drivers. I did post previously on this, found here: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?22378-ATI-7970M-Driver-Issues, but I managed to find some drivers that were bearable and just gave up hope and waited for AMD to fix this, but it's been over a year now and still we are no closer to a solution.
There was also another thread here, https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/foru...cs-Drivers-Installation-Guide&highlight=7970m, but I'm still experiencing issues and so are a number of other people I can see.
I've done a lot of research and can see the issue essentially comes down to the drivers that Enduro uses, but in every thread I've look at, they all mention the underutilization issue and no one actually mentions anything about the issues I experience.
These are the specific issues that I experience in World of Warcraft, most other games are fine, or at least not too noticeable.
When my laptop is plugged in, everything is fine, my FPS is great and it all looks amazing on Ultra with a stable FPS even in raids. But, as soon as the cable comes out, I then get flashing black dots all over the screen and my FPS drops (because it diverts back to the onboard graphics when it's not plugged in). I recently installed the latest beta drivers, and now even plugging the cable back into the laptop it doesn't make the dots disappear and I have to restart my entire client for it to go back to running smoothly.
I've tried numerous different AMD drivers, done a complete reinstall of windows and formatted my drives but still nothing so I believe the issue is with the drivers themselves. But because no one mentions this specific issue, it's proving difficult to find a reasonable explanation or workaround as they only talk about FPS drops.
Does anyone else here have a 7970m that experiences this problem, or has at least heard of it?
