Hey funnybiscuit 🙂
This might be down to a couple of things. does this happen on any other games or running something like Unigine to stress the GPU? I see your 7970 is a lightning...I presume it has a factory OC. That error is common if your OC is pushed too far sometimes....have you Ocd above and beyond factory OC etc.
It could also just be some driver game incompatibility.
Either way you could see if down-clocking the card with something like afterburner helps in playing the game more stably.
If the display driver also falls over running a GPU benchmarking test like unigine etc maybe the factory OC is not stable?

Well if it works fine running Crysis 3 and 3D11 I would start to suspect it's some game bug rather than the card itself.
To downclock it just download a program like Precision X or afterburner. they are really intuitive...just a couple of sliders to move...and in fact the only one you'd have to worry about is the Core clock slider.....just slide it down 10 or 20 points hit the apply button and then launch your game.
The only other thing to try would be un-installing drivers again but this time doing it in safe mode with something like Driver Fusion or Driver Sweeper to remove all traces and then re-install. Maybe make sure you have latest Direct X too things like that.

Hey funnybiscuit you're welcome! Good stuff! If a card crashes with everything and this fixes it I would say the card needs to be sent back but because yours can handle some pretty tough loading and just seems to crash in this game I reckon your card is OK and just needs adjusting to get through the game on current drivers. Maybe next drivers or game patch and this will disappear.
Enjoy!:)
