    As the title suggests, I'm having an issues running Far Cry 3 (FC3) on my 7970. It's a reference card with the stock fan and heat sink. I'm using 12.11 beta 11 drivers. At stock clocks on recommended settings I was getting incredibly low frames, this was with an FOV of 110, 8x MSAA and VSync enabled. Running on low delivers 60FPS as that's my monitors cap. The artifacts stopped then.

    My current build:
    i7 3820 @3.6GHz (Hyper threading is enabled)
    8GB of DDR3 at 1333MHz
    7970 3GB
    Force 3 SSD

    The card is currently overclocked and the clock speeds and temps are listed below.

    Stock
    GPU Clock: 925MHz
    Memory Clock: 1375MHz
    Idle Temp: 38°C
    Max Load Temp: 77°C

    OC
    Stock
    GPU Clock: 1050MHz
    Memory Clock: 1525MHz
    Idle Temp: 41°C
    Max Load Temp: 77°C

    I'm able to run on Ultra with 45-50FPS at the moment but the artifacts are still there. If it helps they only appear on on sand.

    Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Have you tried not using beta drivers? Roll back to the latest stable ones.

    Maybe go back to stock speeds as well see if that helps, and if it ok then start ramping it up from there again. Also anything above 2xMSAA is a complete performance killer I'd go 4x max.
