Now to reflash the bios on my dreadful xfx card, see if I can't squeeze 'er some more. Really grateful for advice

Most xfx are voltage locked. Why are you flashing it?

Because I'm dense beyond belief and in way over my head, and don't think it's a voltage issue, but don't have a clue. And leading on from this ...

xfx r7970 - fx - 797A - TDFC
hashing now on Bitminter client ~ 510 M/hs
was hashing yesterday on cgminer scrypt ~ 400 k/hs

This has helped me a lot :

From 450 Kh/s up to 750 Kh/s.

Happy hunting !!

... I found threads on litecointalk about setting up and reflashing my exact xfx: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=8984.msg66643#msg66643 and https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=9844.msg70653#msg70653

... now waiting for the last pci riser in the world to arrive to see if the reflash worked, as my xfx appears dead
