ATI Clock settings - CCC - Help!!

Reece · 07-11-11, 01:43 AM

The default clock is 775mhz and the memory is 1000mhz when overclocked I can get 875/1175mhz, I have just found out that earlier versions of this card the voltage could be adjusted to 1.2v, this one is locked, can't be changed, I think it is 0.95v though Trixx says 1.175v! GPU-Z reports .95v though no monitoring shows.

Rather disappointing since my decision to purchase this is on the recommendations of a review, that now seems to be an earlier version!

It is better to buy the non OC version!

Always is: save the money and OC it yourself.

Put the cash you save towards a fancy coolerperhaps.

This help? http://forums.amd.com/forum/messagev...hreadid=146284

*nvm that I guess, thought you still had a clock problem.

The clock readout confusion was between 2D/3D, plus this card can't be overclocked much because the core voltage is set! But now I have a texture problem with Trainz!! Nothing ever goes straight up!!!

Now if I had to guess I'd say that because I am using XP 32bit and the new card is 1Gb instead of 512Mb I'm running out of ram!!

Was that already installed when you swapped the cards?
You might want to try to play with the video configuration like toggling between low and high and see if the texture problem still happens

also does the game have In-game AA and AF settings? if they do and you have them enabled make sure the ATI control panel is not overriding them with his own AA and AF settings, if they do toggle them back to Application default

(About the voltage lock)

GIGABYTE ruined their AMD HD 6850 OC version by using a non-common Core voltage controller which has no software support, which means we're limited to stock voltage overclocking.

Oh if only I had seen this earlier, one of the most important things I do is check reviews, and the one I read said excellent overclocking able to set the voltage to 1.299, but that was an older version of the card, I have to put up with this one the way it is, still it is not bad overclocked and certainly runs cool!

You may have hit the nail on the head!! Never thought of that, I will do some tests!

You were correct Wim!! I changed to OpenGL and the problem was gone, I have CCC AA set to environment rather than Application controlled for games such as SH3, I will change this back then try again Trainz with DirectX!

Hope there is an improvement because the new card still jerks around, maybe one of the following problems:

1) Upgrade from Win XP 32bit to Win 7 64 bit and up the ram to 8Gb
2) Upgrade the CPU from dual core Phenom II to 4 core!
