Ok, I have been doing some reading on these....  It seems they are notorious.
I have two, and they both clock back to 3d low perf. settings mid bench.   I have used different 180's and 190's drivers.   
I haven't used atitool or 170's drivers yet, but plan on trying it out tomorrow.  
My question is how to defeat this "feature" on these damn cards.  This wold save a ton of time testing so I have more for benching.   I checked the bot and seen a few of you guys using 196 drivers....  I'm missing something small and stupid, aren't I?
