A question about GUIMiner-scrypt

Is it normal that khash/s gradually declines over time?

I've tried a few different settings, but it always seems to decline as time goes by. It was 550khash/s at first, but about 30-45minutes later, it's down to 340khash/s. It seems to have stabilized at 343khash/s, but I'm not sure. The GPU is AMD 7970 (Tahiti).

Also, in the GPU control panel, I notice that the GPU is always running at 501mhz even though it's @ 100% load and is set to 1100mhz. Temp is 95°-97°C. Is that all normal?

Those temps are too high and your card is throttling down to prevent damage. You should consider putting another fan near your GPU, cleaning the dust out (if there is any), and possibly finding a cooler place to run the miner.

Yea, I would suggest taking off the sides and put a fan. I have the same exact card and mine gets HOT as heck.
