    Has anyone been able to OC the 7970M with 13.1 WHQL and Afterburner 2.3.0? (P150EM)

    Thanks for all the advice guys... after some testing and playing around I am now 100% sure it's because of the external display I am using.
    As soon as I connect the display (HDMI) I'm not able to OC the card (afterburner freezes the sliders at 0/0)
    As soon as I disconnect it: Sliders free with space to OC.

    Next Step for me will be to OC the card and test if it stays OCed with the display attached after a reboot.

    thanks again everyone for the help.
    btw. I'm running 13.2 Beta5 now, no issues at all for the moment. OC was working with 13.1 and 13.2 (and latest afterburner versions)

    Just chipping in here; I too had missing sliders running AB 2.2.0 when updating to 13.1 from 12.11p.

    I set all the settings right before and used the right .dll, but 13.1 messes something up.

    I then installed the MSI AB Patch and presto! But now even without first activating the 7970m (enduro) with f.i. Furmark, I already get the sliders and my profiles back.

    This patch is working flawless... much appreciated.

    Is it possible to OC the 9170 with the 7970m? I've had little success so far. I have what looks to be the same specs almost as OP on my 9170 except for the 3610QM

    Edit: Okay just saw that last post about the external monitor. I have to unplug mine as well to get it to work. Odd!
