    Hello,
    My 7970m is staying in idle clocks while gaming after running the XCL command.
    I have reinstalled the drivers to no avail, i also did a system restore to no avail.
    Any help will yield rep.
    Thanks.

    Uninstalling MSI Afterburner then the drivers then reinstalling the drivers fixed it but thanks guys :D

    Note: After closing MSI Afterburner while in kombuster my utilization went up to 100% instantly.

    haha well that went fast :)

    be aware that after inputting the -xcl command ull have to reboot ur laptop before amd overdrive can take effect. after that, afterburner doesnt have to be opened, u just use CCC to OC.
