    I can't find the answer to this simple question anywhere at the moment.

    If and when I change the core/mem clock values on my 7970M via vbios flash, should I uninstall the AMD drivers and then reinstall them?

    I never do. Does this cause instability and BSOD's?

    I am pretty sure I should do but want to get some confirmation here! Cheers everyone!

    No need to change drivers, especially if you use the same VBIOS. Changing the clocks in VBIOS is transparent to the driver, as long as the increased clocks are stable and are not causing the driver to crash.

    Good. It would be a PITA to do so. Cheers for the answer.
