You are a beautiful person, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. :)

[sneekypeet]

Man this is terrific. Just about to recieve my HD3870 at the end of this week, cant wait to give it a try.

Thanks big bunches W1z!!!!!!!!!

[Sylvanas]

Thanks W1z :) time to go order my 3850 I think :P

although still no 2900 1GB support :(.

[GH Z]

Testing now :)

I wonder if it will save voltage settings and such for my x1950xtx, .27 b2 would not, .26 would just fine. I have a bios modded atm, so I use ATI Tool for fan modulation. But glad to see you're still updating and supporting one of the greatest vid card utilites W1z!

:toast:

[GH Z]

CF overclocking is not working in this version either :(

[mandelore]

oh sweet man!

atitool dont crash no more upon loading in vista with my 2900xt!!

anything else will just be a bonus, maybe i can play with high voltages now :)


hmmm.. monitoring doesnt work, the gpu and mem clocks are detected wrong, and setting to anything else reverts to these numbers?

[kazme]

anybody who knows if this version works with ati hd 3870??

[W1zzard]

it should work with 3870. why dont you try it and post your feedback?

fixing the x1950 pro crash right now

[W1zzard]

CF overclocking is not working in this version either :(

can you describe the problem a bit more?

Full Vista and XP64 support

Does this mean that Vista 64-Bit is also supported? Please.

[Exceededgoku]

Thank God and Wizzard :toast:

Will give it a try when i'm back from office.

Moin W1zzard,

wenn ich das ATi-Tool v0.27b3 starte, zeigt er mir die 2D Takte von Ram und GPU an. Obwohl aktiviert ist, dass er die 3D Takte laden soll. Ändern kann ich die Werte auch nicht, springen immer wieder auf ~500MHz zurück. Wenn ich das Default Profil laden will, ändert sich auch nichts. Kriege immer nur die standard 2D Takte zu sehen. OS ist Vista Ultimate 32Bit und mein System steht in der Signatur.
Thx!

p.s. tolles Programm weiter so! ;)
p.p.s. wie siehts eigentlich mit der GPU Voltage aus? Die wurde vorher nicht korrekt abgespeichert wenn man die verändert hat, oder muss man dafür noch extra was einstellen?

*edit* ok, Signatur ist irgendwie nicht vorhanden?! :wtf:

Hello,

Can anyone tell me how to Use the 3D Detection from Ati Tool on Vista x64?

I have tried to config it but no Game will start if i activate 3D Detection

I don´t have installed the CCC from AMD/ATI

My Graphic Card is an

W1z...before this atitool recognize catalyst version..now after u update
"11:20 AM CET - Updated the download:
- Fixed crash on X1950 and similar GPUs
- HD2900 can now switch to 3D clocks again"
it no longer recognize catalyst version...unknown version..
im using vista 32bit. anyway thanks

[W1zzard]

Does this mean that Vista 64-Bit is also supported? Please.

no its not supported, please dont download and please dont try it

[bad_haze]

Amazing... I have been a long time user of Atitool and have never joined the forums until now. I just want to thank you for all the hard work you are putting into Atitool and how much it means to all of us!

I have HD3870 and the beta3 Atitool works just great! The "find max mem" and "find max GPU" are working great! Setting the clocks also works fine as detected through Rivatuner's monitoring tool.

I'm sure you;re working on it already, but I would like to see fan control and, of course.... voltage control :P The BIG issue with these HD3870s is the block at 857mhz for the core. I wonder if it really is a voltage issue... hmmm...

[Cpuroast]

Hi,

0.27 Beta 3 does not work with Nvidia Quadro FX1400(Geforce 6000 series) but 0.26 does.

With the new one, I can't change the mem or core frequency, but with the old one I could.

Are you talking about the bios issue which has been fixed with a new bios release?

[ownage]

Hey Wiz, you have a 8800gtx, i would never had thought that :p:

Is there a reason for no further R600 support, if i may ask?

[Di]

Hi, i m reporting a bug and making some comments.

The bug :
my config
C2D 6600 non oc, msi ati 2900xt, vista ultimate edition 32, asus p5b deluxe, cat 7.11...
i cant use dynamic fan override control because it starts working nicely, but when t° is warming to superior level, fan goes faster according the programmed %, but when t° is getting colder (2 or 3 °C under t° level), fan speed doesnt decrease to previous %...
when i reload my profile (the same actualy), atitool detects the t° and set speed % to the correct value... someone has any idea?

other fan control modes are OK.

The comments :
when i m using fan control mode 3 (try to maintain t°) % fan speed is set to 31% to 51% to cool GPU, or 13% normaly... is it possible to setup normal and cool % to other value? replacing 13% by 25% i.e.?

Next step is testing GPU OC but waiting for new watercooling system... thx in advance for your advices and remarks

[nickless]

Hi,
I've just installed Ati tool 0.27b3, everything is ok except one. When I set at first VDDC and after that frequensy of the core, VDDC is go back to its default settings. This is a problem, becuse when I try to push the core first I have to give it more power, but in this case I can't set higher frequency over that the core can work with default voltage.
I'm with HD2900Pro 1GB, Cat 7.11, win XP x32.

Thank's

PP. Sorry for my English!

[Yrr]

Very good a new version in the end . I will test it on Vista 64 and XP 32.

[Exceededgoku]

no its not supported, please dont download and please dont try it

lol? Is that sarcasm or for real? Because mine works it just doesn't work with my card... :D

[MadDias]

hallole wizzard!!
hätte nie geglaubt, dass jemand aus stuggi das atitool macht ;)
coole sache...

i´m going to test the new beta on vista ultimate x64 with hd2900 crossfire.
hope it works just the way 2.5beta14 did for my x1800´s in cf... *fingers crossed*

[Yrr]

works just fine in Vista 64 but unfortunatelly driverlevel OC does not work so I can not OC Mem

[a_punker]

Great Job W1zzard. We are all in your debt.

-My Temp chip temp only displays 0, 1 or 99oC and seems to fluctuate between them randomly.
-Fan speed stays at 0% all the time until the temp rises so high it crashes unless ATiTool has overridden the fan control.

[mandelore]

I am having difficulty correctly detecting default clocks, and any alteration to clocks results in resetting to 2k+ core and mem speeds?

also voltages reset upon 3d initialisation

hmmm.. monitoring doesnt work, the gpu and mem clocks are detected wrong, and setting to anything else reverts to these numbers?

http://img.techpowerup.org/071128/atitool 3.jpg
Same problem here... a fix for this please, I've been waiting for 5 months for a release that works on x64 vista and now I have that stupid bug...

[sneekypeet]

http://img.techpowerup.org/071128/3870ATItool.jpg

Havent tried clocking it yet as 3DMarks are giving me issues ATM...Want to run stock benchies B4 I clock. Seem to be in order for my 3870 so far....will post back with OC results later.

Findings after messing a bit:

No fan control

No monitoring abilities...try to set it and causes hardlock

OCseems to work and apply, verified with everest!

[GH Z]

can you describe the problem a bit more?

Sure W1z :)

Clocks cannot be applied to either adapter. Also when selecting the second card the default clocks displayed are the 2D clocks rather than the 3D clocks (as in the case of the primary card), same situation in Riva. If you try to apply clocks to either adapter the clocks decrease and then the primary adapter no longer shows the 3D clocks but the 2D clocks - same as the secondary card.

I am using a 2900 CF setup, both cards are flashed with a custom BIOS (847/947) using Shamino's Quantum Editor. I have tested with ATI Services both Enabled and Disabled. I didn't test fan or voltage settings in CF mode, I'd be happy to do that and get back to you with my findings.

[Huxley2k7]

Why is it that when i type in 650 Clock speed, ATi tool decides to make it 641 or something instead? It keeps setting it to lesser values when i want a precise value specified by me!?

[HousERaT]

Just reporting..... LOD works fine and instantly with 3870 in Crossfire. ;)

[Jodiuh]

You had no thanks, I thought you'd like one. :)

So GT SLI can be oced via software w/ this, no? I kid...and dream a bit. :D

[TotalChaos]

xfx 600/950 8800GTX, vista 32 bit 169.12

cannot adjust anything. core or memory sliders are only sliders visible, they both have 0.00 listed. Even if i type in values and set it, it does nothing.

Same thing with Galaxy 8800GT but the systray icon did display my clock speeds correctly @ 600/1000

[multiple3]

First off, I'd like to join everyone here who is thanking you, W1zzard, for this great tool! When I run "Find Max Core," though, it will never detect any artifacts even when they are very visible. Under the "Artifact Scanning" tab in the settings I have tried using the default slider position and the left-most "More artifacts detected" position. I am using this on Windows XP SP2 with a Geforce 7600GS and Forceware driver 163.75. Thanks for your help.

BTW, are there any plans to have a seperate slider for overclocking the shader clock?

UPDATE: Apparently I can't change the memory clock either, and if I use "Find Max Mem" then ATITool freezes.

[xsabrewulf]

I want to start off by saying im very new to this. I have been overclocking CPU's for years but now just wanted to OC my video card.

I have Vista 32bit with an X1900XT

I have the 7.11 Drivers WITHOUT CCC

(I did get a error when it started up saying that for the card to work correctly I need to enable the ATI Services... not sure how to do that)

I have made 2 profiles... 2D and 3D and they switch when I go into a 3D game.

the Stock for my card is 625 / 725


I OC'd my video card to 641 / 756 and upped my voltage to 1.3 then I saved it as a 3D profile.

and my 2D is 499 / 599.


when I go into a game the volts jump to 1.45 and it remains at 641 / 756 for about 5 mins... then it drops itself to 625 / 725 stock settings and lowers the voltage back to Stock voltage... Why is this?

[sneekypeet]

HD3870 clocksed to 843/1206

cant get the monitoring to work without hardlock still.

Qick image to show ATItool clocks well.

@W1zzard...if you need a lab rat PM me with whatever you want to throw at me to try!

[ImmortalZ]

Why is it that when i type in 650 Clock speed, ATi tool decides to make it 641 or something instead? It keeps setting it to lesser values when i want a precise value specified by me!?

Because that's how it's supposed to work. GPU clock frequencies don't vary in a granular way.

[TiesTorN]

will any fix come for 1gb 2900xt problem? :(

[TotalChaos]

http://www.ngohq.com/imagehosting/17474ec8494e3d5.png

Same thing with beta 4 and the 8800GT

[Live OR Die]

any think for the 8800GT yet?

[kaltblut]

Kann auch mit Beta4 die Taktraten meiner 2900XT nicht ändern, springt immer wieder auf die 2D Takte 509.63 Core und 510.75 Ram zurück sobald ich Set Clock oder Enter drücke. :banghead:

Oben bei Default steht zwar 743/828 aber laden kann ich die nicht. Unter HD2000 OC ist ein Häkchen bei "... switch to 3D clocks..." :wtf:

[Huxley2k7]

Because that's how it's supposed to work. GPU clock frequencies don't vary in a granular way.

Do we still need to disable ATi Hotkey Poller in order to enable ATi tools 3D detection thingy and properly overclock?

[Dixxhead]

Hi W1zzard,

thanks for updating this great tool, been waiting for this quite a while. Only drawback is it still doesn't work on my Mobility HD2600. I've read on an other forum that it actually worked but once he updated to the 7.11 drivers it stopped working. I'm currently running the Crysis Hotfix drivers and whenever I try to set the clocks to a certain value it just jumps back to default clocks...

I'm going to try out with the 7.10 drivers in a second even though I'd prefer having the 7.11 ones on my pc as they gave me quite a performance boost.

Sorry, forgot systeminfo:

Windows Vista 32bit Premium Home
2gb ram
Intel C2D T7100 @ 1.8ghz
Mobility HD2600

[sneekypeet]

beta 4 has corrected my complaints....gained fan control (not functional tho) still using Rivatuner, and temps(look to be correct), havent messed with the monitoring button as of yet!

[cepoi]

beta 4??

[sneekypeet]

yup...was mentioned earlier in the thread.....Majorgeeks has a dowload of it.

[Tatty_One]

[Dixxhead]

Ok, just rolled back to 7.10 in order to see if that made the difference and still nothing... (most likely it would work with the 7.9 drivers, where the GFX is still listed as X2600 HD; but in all honesty I can't be bothered to switch back to that buggy driver :p ) Kind of a bummer; I hoped I could finally kiss that AMDGPUClocktool goodbye. If I can in any way help you get ATITool running on a Mobility HD2600 I'd be happy to help.

[EastCoasthandle]

0.27b4??? b4??? Where, where???? Shouldn't there be a new thread to discuss beta 4?

[Cpuroast]

I believe that the thing MajorGeeks lists as Beta4 is actually the Hotfixed beta 3.

[sneekypeet]

Well if you look it was uploaded by W1z and it seemed to change things on my end with my 3870....Hotfixed or not it works better than the plain beta3

[Dixxhead]

Well if you look it was uploaded by W1z and it seemed to change things on my end with my 3870....Hotfixed or not it works better than the plain beta3

True, but the link on the first post has been updated by W1z too, so I thought it might be the same file... Maybe someone should check the MD-5 or so; I don't really know how to do that :o

But putting that aside, right now I'm the happiest man in the world; I solved my problem: As soon as I enable Powerplay AtiTool clocks my Mobility HD2600... Great!

[Urufu_Shinjiro]

I have Vista 64bit and an X1950XT pci-e. atitool installs great and can change clocks but no voltage option. Am I missing them somewhere? Aslo when it switches to 3d clocks that works but while just testing it still has 2d volts, and can't change volts at all as the menu for it is not there.

[Astennu]

I'm hearing changing the 3d clockspeeds on a HD3870 is not working with this beta.

Also the voltage tab is not available. W1zzard do you have some time to fix this problem ? I'm getting my HD3870 6 dec. I can help you test a fix if you want.

@ XS they had problems with the clocks. Rivatunner seemed zo clock way higher. And there was no voltage tab. That last one is very important :P because people are maxed at default voltage and we wanna see what this chip realy can do. 1 GHz core here we come :P

[Kreij]

The MD5 hash for the 0.27b3 version that W1z has posted at the beginning of this thread and the 0.27b4 version at Majorgeeks is the same.

[reptilematt]

New to the forums.

The new ATI Tool looks very promising for the HD 3870's. I'm having a temperature problem with my Sapphire HD 3870 where I will get close to 90C while gaming. My idle temperatures with the card at 50C. I would love to use ATI tool to control the fan speed instead of Rivatuner. Always have been an ATITool dude ever since my 9800 Pro.

Please, I beg you to keep up the good work and make the fan controls work for the 3800 series :).

My kind regards :)

[Urufu_Shinjiro]

Does anyone have voltage controls for pci-e X1950XT?

[Dixxhead]

Been experimenting a bit with the Tool now and am really happy with how relyable it is (it never even crashed once); what I find strange though is that the max. memory I can reach is 540mhz, with AMDGPUClocktool I can reach 570mhz with no artifacts. All in all the GPU seems to run hotter with ATITool running than overclocked with AMDGPUClocktool.

Anyone knows an explenation to that? :ohwell:

Thanks Wiz!

It seems to work. With 0.26 it used to start without showing clocks quite often. Now I have rebooted twice and both times it shows clocks right and can overclock them.

But.
Why it doesn't show VRM temps and current? I have MSI X1950XT. It also conflicts with AtiTrayTools (must first overclock with AtiTrayTools, then with AtiTool, or it hangs).

W1zzard,

Thanks for the update. ATI Tool has helped me max out the potential of the last few video cards I've owned. It's especially useful for adjusting Fan speeds with third party coolers.

Core Clock in MHz 777 MHz
Memory Clock in MHz 1126 MHz

Primary Display Yes

=============================================
My results using 0.27 Beta 3:

When adjusting the Memory or Core slider, then pressing "Set Clock", the slider goes back to original clock speed.

ATI Overdrive states 850 MHz Core, ATI Tool: 843 (note that ATI Overdrive slide only moves in 5 MHz increments.

ATI Overdrive states 1251 MHz Memory, ATI Tool 1251

ATITool Memory and Core clock values don't update when I change them in ATI Overdrive, but will display the new values if I shut ATITool down and restart it.

GPU Temperature display pretty much matches ATI Overdrive stats.

Fan Control Settings sort of work. When setting fixed percentages, the value doesn't always change the fan speed when "Apply" is pressed. Using audible cues and fingers behind the output : 0, 25, 50, 75 100 always seem to work. Going from 100 to any value greater than 76 doesn't change the audible fan noise... (it's like a hair dryer at that speed) Going from 76 to any value greater than 51 doesn't change the fan speed. However, if I'm at 51%, the fan speed won't increase with any value input from 52-74... entering 75 will then speed up the fan.
Sometimes after checking the "Dynamic" feature and then switching back to "Fixed Percentage", pressing "Apply" after entering a value like 100 won't change the fan speed, it sometimes may switch after a delay though.

================================================== ======

My Comments.
The 3D Scan is *much* better than the ATI Overdrive "Test".
Memory artifacts are readily visible in the ATI Tool scan in the 3D window when both programs' automated check doesn't catch any errors. Unfortunately, with neither check I've never experienced the test catching a core clock error... I've always froze the screen (goes black) when increasing the core clock over the limit, so can't comment on that with the HD3870

Fan control would be one of the most useful features to get working with the HD3870 since the default fan mapping is optimized for noise and makes me uncomfortable with the temperature the GPU runs at. ~90 degrees C

For bigger OC I thing voltage control would be one of the most useful features too. But it still doesn't hold the voltage changes when clocks are changed frequency of the GPU (it goes back to default Vcore). It would be nice if @W1zzard fix this problem, if it is possible.
Everething else works correctly on my HD2900Pro1GB :)

Does ATITool 0.24 b4 work with Vista x64 an HD 3870?

[kaltblut]

Was sind die Temperaturen der Karte?

Öhm... wüsste zwar nicht, was das mit den Schiebereglern zu tun hat, aber die Karte hat im Idle 52° ;)

[kaltblut]

0.27b4??? b4??? Where, where???? Shouldn't there be a new thread to discuss beta 4?

http://www.techpowerup.com/wizzard/ATITool_0.27b4.exe

Common sense, please :D

[Crazykooter]

I went to vista x64 a while back and havent been able to use atitool. I had a x1800xt which I used this tool to set a few small records in 3dmark03 thru 06. Now I have a 3870 which is a awesome card. I have been able to reach 875-1361 without ati tool. I am hoping that now that I am able to tweak with it again I can break that barrier. I havent posted here in the past but I had to redo my account so I could say thx for the hard work you put into this Wizzard.
So far no errors. I will post back with results. I think all I need now is the modded 3870 bios to reach higher gpu clocks.

EDIT: I was using the beta3 and find max ocs wasnt working so now I am trying beta4. Not sure how I missed that link.

[Crazykooter]

Sorry for posting again so soon after last one but just fyi sliders dont work, you need to manually set clocks. Also auto ocer is still not working. This is on a HIS 3870. Still being able to test with this tool will help a lot. Patiently waiting for more features to come up. Thx again

Wohuuu, thanks w1zzard & PowerTechUp ofcourse..

damn, was afraid already that I'll never see this great code ever build to vista x64.. :toast:

ps. and that false 0/0 hz detection is because of Nvidias beta drivers 169.xx works fine with 163.75 (Also with all latest titles). Tested here with 2 comps now one with 8600gt and 8800 GT. :)

Out of boredom last night I re-installed the Catalyst 7.10 and did not unlock it. ATI beta 3 now seems to function properly on everything but the memory temp read-off.

[DaMulta]

With beta 4 I can start HD2900XT 1Gb cards but my voltage settings still reset after I change the clocks.

[MadDias]

Sure W1z :)

Clocks cannot be applied to either adapter. Also when selecting the second card the default clocks displayed are the 2D clocks rather than the 3D clocks (as in the case of the primary card), same situation in Riva. If you try to apply clocks to either adapter the clocks decrease and then the primary adapter no longer shows the 3D clocks but the 2D clocks - same as the secondary card.

I am using a 2900 CF setup, both cards are flashed with a custom BIOS (847/947) using Shamino's Quantum Editor. I have tested with ATI Services both Enabled and Disabled. I didn't test fan or voltage settings in CF mode, I'd be happy to do that and get back to you with my findings.

u have to disable crossfire before setting clocks to the secondary card in atitool. u also have to enable a monitor on the secondary card to be able to overclock it. the correct 3d clocks will then be reported for both adapters in atitool.
i didn´t really do any testing with overlcocking, cause i got lockups when applying 830@1,25v/930@default to both cards and wanting to run 3dmark06 in crossfire mode. even the artifact scan locked up, maybe it´s my 700w psu.
i wish it would work as it has done with the x1xxx series cards in crossfire. always enabling and disabling cf is a pita.

not true, my 1gb 2900xt has a stock 3d voltage on the gpu of 1.15V, and it can go 885 with that ;)

[morfinx]

fan control does not seem to work right on my 3870 and the temp display is quirky. The rest seems fine.

Yeah the fan control does not seem to work at all. The fan duty cycle display changes when you set the fan speed in ATITool, but the fan itself doesn't change speed. I can change the fan speed with Rivatuner, and ATITool's fan speed display picks up the change. But ATITool's own fan speed control does not work.

Everything else works fine though.

[Jon]

Dam, I'm still having the same issue with Vista 32 and X1800XT 512. As soon as I run ati tools my screen artifacts, monitor loses signal and then get a BSOD with atiumdag.dll mentioned. No matter what I do it does this...weird.

I did try both beta 3 and 4

[hogans]

Wizzard,

Thank you for your hard work, I have been waiting for this!

Great job. :respect:

Hi Wizz

I just received my 3850. :) verry happy until now.

So, after playing a bit with it, I tryied to OC using ATITool 0.27b4.
But it crash my PC every time I try to OC it when I move any slider or try to detect the Max core / Max MEM or just to scan for artéfacts.

RT206 work but I'll prefer ATITool.:banghead:

Is it a known bug? Is there a chance to correct this?

[ImmortalZ]

not true, my 1gb 2900xt has a stock 3d voltage on the gpu of 1.15V, and it can go 885 with that ;)

My 2900XT 1GB seems to be running at 1.2V VDDC. :confused:

[Oliver]

oh sweet man!

atitool dont crash no more upon loading in vista with my 2900xt!!

anything else will just be a bonus, maybe i can play with high voltages now :)


hmmm.. monitoring doesnt work, the gpu and mem clocks are detected wrong, and setting to anything else reverts to these numbers?

A Fix For The 1gb 2900xt Problem Please ?!?!?!?!?!

[regan1985]

anyone tested it on the 2600xt?

[HousERaT]

To W1zzard:

Will there be voltage adjustment support for the HD 3870/50 Series of cards? I'd like to know because I'd rather do the software voltage adjustments instead of a hard mod. I sure miss the days of the 1900XTX & atitool voltmodding. If yes, I'll let you volunteer when this could happen. Thanks.......

Hi all,
I finally got a solution for my Vista x64 trouble with ATITool, works fine for me:

First of all, I have Driver Signing permanently deactivated (uninstalled KB932596, KB938979, KB938194 and KB941649, then " bcdedit -set loadoptions \”DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS” " and " bcdedit /set nointegritychecks ON " and "Code signing for device drivers"="Ignored" in gpedit.msc).

The older drivers (till 0.27 beta 2) successfully started only every 5th boot. I found out if you deactivate and re-activate the "ATITool Driver" from Device Manager and then try relaunching ATITool it works and you don't get the "Kernel Mode Driver not working..." Popup. But you had to repeat this procedure up to 10 times till it worked sometimes, pretty anoying.:banghead:

The new 0.27 beta 3 or 4 have a new Device Driver that has no trouble starting up at boottime anymore!:respect: But the 0.27 b3/4 ATITool Program doesn't really work with my x1950XT, it shows 0/0 Mhz like some other ppl reported here, when "Driver Level overclocking" was active (only way to overclock because of the 3D-clock-switching). So I installed the 0.27 beta 4 and copied over the "ATITool.exe" from version 0.27 beta 2. Now everything works like a charm. Overclocking, Fan Settings, Temperature output to MBM5 aso. I never have trouble with non working ATITool after reboot/startup anymore. So I call this a solution :D.

One Question: I saw that the new driver from b3/4 is signed. So is it now necessary to have Driver Signing deactivated (either F8 at boottime or the procedure above) any longer? I think the day is near that we can say "ATITool is Vista x64 compatible" :rockout:

Do you get Voltage control with this exe switch method?

[HousERaT]

"A future ATITool version will support voltage changes on both HD 3850 and HD 3870."

Quoted from W1zzard in his GeCube 3850 OC review.......

I hear you loud and clear man and I won't bug you again until after it's done. Good luck with the upgrades, I'll be waiting patiently. ;)

[Alp]

Do you get Voltage control with this exe switch method?

Nope.
That was the next quest to be solved. No "Voltage Control" tab in settings.
How does ATITool decide that? And is there a way to get it for the x1950XT?

[zyap]

w1zzard tnx for always making atitool, great tool...

i got a question... why do you have to make those big steps of frequencies in atitool and not just 1 mhz? it sometimes annoyes me cause u can't finetune your card...

also my OC:
core 830
mem 2300

can't get my core higher. does anybody has a solution? already tried 2.5 vddc:P

tnx

Edit: found a bug.... probably everybody already knows but it's a really annoying bug... if you change voltage and then change your clocks the voltage is set back to default value... and my card locks lol.... hope it's going to be solved thanks already!

[pants_marshall]

i have a 3870, and i have the same problem as ALP, whether or not i use beta 3 or 4, i just cant use the tool to get a overclock.
All the other monitoring is there, i can see temps and have fan control, no voltages as of yet, and i havent flashed the card either.
I have tried other settings in ati tool, i have even reinstalled ccc and not enabled overdrive, i love this tool so i thought i'd pass on my info to help make it better:D

It's only the exe from beta 2.

And don't forget telling if it works, would be of interest here ^^

[pants_marshall]

i tried your file with beta 4 and with beta 3, i did in the end find beta 2 @ guru3d and used that, all it did was crash ati tool every time.

Funnie thing is....when i run ati beta 4 i can see my clocks and if i change them in ccc they change also in ati tool, so i guess i can still use ati tool to monitor temps and fan speed, apart from that i have no voltages and no clock settings to use with the 3870.I can use ccc to clock with which i will do for now ;)

[Alp]

hmm, maybe the beta 2 didn't support the 3870? Since mine is older (x1950XT), you gotta wait for beta 5 :banghead:

>Use Driver Level overclocking (x1000 Overclocking in settings), if that doesn't work, read the post #116

I only have a choice for HD 2000 Overclocking settings, and no choices ther make a difference in how it works.

Version 2 did not work on my 2600 XT either. It DID set the clocks back to the original speeds, instead of what was set in ATI Overclock. The biggest difference was that when I tried to change clock speeds, it took 25% of my CPU(s) for about 5 seconds before reverting back, instead of immediately reverting back to original speeds.

Ned

[qubit]

When a profile is selected, either by starting ATI Tool (with profile loading switched on) or by loading it manually afterwards, the voltages are not set according to the profile. They are set to the default values every time. The fan & clock speeds are set properly, however.

The voltages are however, stored correctly in profiles.ini and can be loaded manually from it on the Voltage Control page. Checking/unchecking the "Disable Driver Voltage transitions" option in the overclocking page makes no difference.

Note that with careful tweaking of the clocks, core voltage and temp/fan thresholds, I can have a 2900 Pro that performs like an XT and remains quiet at all times. :) Who said these cards are loud?

W1zzard: this is my first post here and I'd like to say that you rock for giving us all this awesome utility. Thanks! :toast:

I remember a similar problem i got with 0.26 storing Fan settings into profile.
I played around with the Properties for the profile (uncheck,save,check,save the "This profile stores: "Fan Settings") a couple of times till it correctly restored them on profile load, but I'm sure you tried that...

So I think now my exe switch b3/4->b2 works ONLY for x1950xt or maybe very close "family members" then... I'm glad it helped me.

To summarize my "understandings": with ATITool 0.27 beta X there is no Voltage control possible on x1950XT cards

Yeah, I tried the check,save, check thing, but no dice. The correct voltage values are going into the profile, but it just can't read them from it when loading a whole profile.

I also have an X1950XT and I can't set the voltage on that either. It felt odd that and I suspect that was able to adjust the voltage on that card with an earlier ATI Tool, but it was a year ago, so I'm not sure now.

[qubit]

After I made my post, I saw some references to 0.27 beta 4. I found a download for it here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4109.html

Installed it, but it didn't fix the voltage problem. I don't know why W1zzard doesn't update the forum to reflect the new version, which is over a week old now.

Ok solved my problem with Voltage Control with downgrading .exe to 0.27 b1 (with 0.27 b4 driver). I Have full control now :rockout:

i have news!! :D

i can have complete control of my clocks in ati tool 0.27b4 when using XP, but not in vista which is kinda weird as i did have clock control in vista with the x1900XT using 0.27b3.
Any chance Alp you could send me your exe or link me to 0.27b1? I have maxed out the core using ccc

[object22]

When I run "find max core" it runs through the tests but the frequencies on the sliders & up where it reads Current clocks remain 612 they do not increase over time. Any ideas? :)

Alp, your a genius! I now have voltage control with vista64 and X1950XT 256mb sapphire. Been testing and here's what I have so far. I can set voltage and clocks, when I run 3dmark06 the clocks revert to stock 3d settings (621/1800) but the voltage stays the same, when the 3dmark is switching tests it goes back to 2d clocks and volts. Now here's the interesting part, when the new test starts it goes back to stock 3d clocks but goes to new voltages I set (1.450 core instead of 1.40). Any ideas on how to keep the new clocks. I know ultimately once i find my oc I can flash the bios on the card but until then I cannot even test the oc without being able to keep new clocks when 3d starts up.

Thx :o
Btw, I have exact same card (and OS).

I had that same thing too first. U gotta set driver-level overclocking on first. Then u launch a 3D-App (f.ex. a Game then minimize) which set's the card to 3D Mode and only then u can play with the clocks / Voltage and save afterwards into a profile while still in 3D mode. Then, if the Profile loads even in 2D mode, it will take over-clocks when switching to 3D but stock on 2D, guess that's the best way overclocking. U don't even need different 2D-3D profiles like this.

[qubit]

Alp: that beta1 exe didn't work for me. If profile.ini is present, it instantly locks up the machine with a black screen and a flickering pattern. If it's not present, then it just crashes with a standard Windows error message.

I'm sure the problem is caused due to the later dll being incompatible with it.

Ok, heres where I'm at, I need to have driver level overclocking unchecked in order to adjust clocks, I adjust clocks and volts then save to a profile. Then re-enable driver level overclocking and my profile loads fine in during all 3dmark06 tests :). So I started overclocking, I've reached 722.25/981.00 and here's where I run into a problem, but it's not stability, lol. I use the same process as before and set to 749.25/990.00 and when 3d mark starts for some reason it goes back to 722.25/981.00, even though I saved the new setting to the profile and everything, real odd. Any thoughts?

Edit: After rereading I think I need to be a little more clear. I'm using the monitoring tool from rivatuner to see what my clocks, temps, and volts are while in game or running 3dmark06. I can successfully set clocks to 749/990, but when 3dmark06 starts it goes down to 722/981. WTF? Anybody? WTF? lol

That's the same I get when I start ATITool and a profile with overclocks is loaded and driver level oc is off, OR when I start ATITool during in 3D Mode. I think it's because the 2D Voltage is kept in these cases but clocks are set anyway. Interesting how different ATITool reacts by switching exe :twitch:

Since Voltage control works only a few days for me, I couldn't test yet, how far I can go with the same card you have. But with stock Voltages it get's unstable when I go further than just 695.25 / 1026 and I got this Cooler (http://www.thermalright.com/a_news/hr03_plus_news.jpg) on my Sapphire x1950XT 256 (only 1 card though ;)), so I think it's totally normal it get's unstable that high. And I have a 120mm Fan on the Top of my card which is Temp Controled by ATITool up to 91% at above 65°, 67°(52° environment) is the absolute max with 30° Room Temp (in summer)

Watch the Pics, I got exact same Clocks showing in either Rivatuner 2.06 or ATITool 0.27b4 +b1.exe. Erm, can U show Voltages with Rivatuner? Couldn't find it yet. What Voltages u changed?

Btw, I have the ATI Catalyst 7.11 54442 driver with CCC, but it was the same on 5-6 prior drivers too.

[Vipeout]

After finally getting ATITool to work in Vista, it just won't change the clockspeed.
I do raise the sliders, then click Set Clock, and after around 3 seconds the clock speeds above the sliders just jump back to default without having changed anything, no matter what clock speed i set.

Any ideas why? ATITool seems to work properly, or at least the monitor does.

It hasn't really worked for a while. It's better to adjust your clocks manually, and test for heat and stability yourself.

W1zzard I attempted installing Catalyst 7.11 again, the ccc still did not show but I think it was functioning since it showed in my processes. The fan control does not work with it and the 3870. I also noticed the fan control only works (7.10) at a % amount and only certain numbers: 23,45,60, and 100%. Riva tuner seems to have issues with the fan control as well.

[wiak]

installing atitool 0.27 beta 3 on a system with 3870 installed results in temperatures goes bannana, the fix i have found is to enable Fan Control > Override fan speeds

[RubberDuck]

Thank You Wizzard :rockout:

Does that make sense? You say yourself it's no ATITool only issue, how should an update of ATITool fix it then? Sounds like a Driver Issue to me, or did u mean that?

[Aetherion]

Hi All,
Firstly, please excuse me if this problem has already been fixed - I couldn't see an answer for it when I read the posts. Secondly, this is my first attempt at overclocking a graphics card so I am in unfamiliar territory - please excuse my stupidity on certain issues.

Ok - I downloaded ATITool 0.27b4, installed it and it came up fine. when I try to slide the sliders, they just reset, regardless of whether I do them individually or link them together. I tried putting the values in manually, but nothing changes in the Current clocks windows. I tried running Find Max Core for over 8 hours, but it didn't finish due to a power failure and didn't appear to have done anything in that time (should I run it again and let it go 'till it stops?). When I look in the log file I get really weird stuff like:

2007-12-10 01:10:19 I Find Max Core started...
2007-12-10 01:29:09 I Scan aborted. Total runtime: 1129 seconds. Artifact-free: 1129 seconds. Core: 7425.00 MHz Memory: 500.00 MHz

2007-12-10 20:19:29 I Find Max Memory started...
2007-12-10 20:36:34 I Scan aborted. Total runtime: 1025 seconds. Artifact-free: 1025 seconds. Core: 600.00 MHz Memory: 8675.00 MHz

That is weird to me because the core shows as 600.00MHz and the memory shows 500.00MHz no matter what I do. Also a website that did a review on my graphics card said he could only overclock it to 725 on the core and 1025 on the memory (for that matter, he said the defaults were 625 core and 900 mem - nowhere near what ATITool shows).

Once again, please forgive me if this is all really obvious stuff, but I am completely lost and could really use some tips or help.

[Svan]

Don´t know about any sense (I'am to new in this area).
Supose it´s a driver thing but I have no ide. Someone earlyer in this thread, with HD 38XX, talked about fan speed with catalyst 7.10 (kind of work) and 7.11 (doesn´t work) vs atitool.
Kind of strange because I can´t use catalyst 7,10 at all.

Ok, I'm on water cooling so my temps are awsome. I'm currently using volts (in order they appear in atitool) 1.475 2.233 2.233 1.891. Load temps are 47-49C. It's so wierd that I can set everything just fine in atitool, use rivatuners hardware monitoring to see whats really going on during 3dmark or a game and it's fine up till 722.25/981.00, after that if I set it to 742.25/981 it will set just fine but as soon as 3dmark starts rivatuner hardware monitor shows it drop back to 722.25/981.00. Real odd. Guess I shouldn't complain too much 722.25/981.00 is still a heck of an overclock.

[arisythila]

I'm just wondering, But is there ever going to be voltage control for the 3870XT's? Or is that just for the x1950's?

Thanks.

[Inzide]

Hi W1zzard, hi peoples

Installing Atitool 0.27b4 on an Ultimate x64 os went perfectly. No nags! I don't do overclocking but I find the Atitool ideal for fan control. But it seems that my Sapphire HD3870 and the Atitool can't agree with each other on fan settings. The profile loads at startup
and in 2d (bios 60 degrees 30%) profile 40 degrees 40% and you here no change in fan speed. In 3d load the bios juist reacts and at 80 to 90 degrees the fan spins up. I'm not having any atrifact or freezeup problems with my system at this moment. When I start
throughing games at this system more control over graphic card would be nice and I can image it would admirable over overclockers too.

W1zzard if you can figure this out, Inzide and others would be very grateful.

I'd like to know how accurate the amp usage is with it ( VDDC ).

[XibaD]

I post my impressions about ATITool 0.27b4 on my HD 3850:

- Fan control is a little buggy (it has a strange delay applying fan speeds).
- OC feature causes black screen (manually setting any core/mem clock, setting to defaults or trying to find max).
- Scan for artifacts feature works fine.

The rest is perfect :)

BTW using a fresh install of Windows XP Pro x64 Ed w Catalyst 7.11

EDIT

Also tried in a Windows 2000 Professional fresh install. Same issues :(

I got HD 3850.
I am waiting for next ATI tool program that can be ovecrclocking a 3850.
When overclocking 3850 with ATITool 0.274b version, My PC went down, A monitor blacked out.

Really thank you for ATITool!!! <=this is a really awesome program!!!

[Blacklash]

I love ATiTool too, been using it a long time.

Thing is it doesn't apply clocks to HD 3850 cards under Vista x64. I can run the slider up where I want and when I hit apply it just resets to stock.

The cards are capable of 760|999 and I have to settle for 730 from Overdrive. Rivatuner will OC one to 760 fine and it doesn't get the other.

Wohuuu, thanks w1zzard & PowerTechUp ofcourse..

damn, was afraid already that I'll never see this great code ever build to vista x64.. :toast:

ps. and that false 0/0 hz detection is because of Nvidias beta drivers 169.xx works fine with 163.75 (Also with all latest titles). Tested here with 2 comps now one with 8600gt and 8800 GT. :)

Although doesn't show fan speed % and gave some error on temps however it still shows correct temps:



card on that was 8600 GT (Gainward golden Sample) G84 chip..

Ok, finally got my MSI 8800GT 512 OverClock Editition. Appearently I can't install any driver lower than 169.02, especially the 163.75 describen above, it keeps saying I have no compatible card or something. And the 169.02 isn't beta anymore but it doesn't work with ATITool, same for 169.12b or 169.21b. No Clock/Fan/Voltage Control or Mem Timings only Temp Monitoring works. Btw, of course I tried some exe-switching aso from versions b1 b2 b3 b4 again with no success this time either :ohwell:. Just tah let u know...

[dddibley]

Have to thank W1z for atitool, it's the only one keeping the 3800 series cards from mellting down right now. (fan cowl sticker not included). The amd.ati partners should be kicking in for all your hard work. They don't seem very bright. :P

Can enable fan while messing with different options when 'Show 3D View' is on.. or maybe it's just the delay. Either way.. i'm sure you'll figure it out :)

With my x1950XT I had the best results installing beta 4 and then replacing the ATITool.exe with the one from beta 1. It's posted somewhere earlier in this thread (the b1 exe).

It's POST #140, give it a try

[Drakanox]

ATI tool isnt showing a "Fan Control" tab for me at all... Also when i go to properties & check any of the check boxes like for Fan Settings, or anything else that isnt already checked it won't stay checked, ill press ok & then go into it again & they will all be unchecked. I have no way of setting my voltages or memory timings either other then by modifying the system bios directly when i start up my PC.

Everything was working fine (Vista64, X1900XTX w/7.11 and 0.27 B4) until last night. I suddenly lost GPU temp monitoring and fan control They are no longer even in the ATITool options. I thought it was something that I did or a Vista update so I backtracked but nothing worked. I decided to start fresh and reinstalled Vista this morning. After installing ATITool I checked the log:

Any ideas?

Can't change clock speeds. Whenever I click on set clock speed it defaults back everytime. Is anyone else having this problem with vista 64?

[binormalkilla]

So is does this support voltage adjustments in Vista 64? I have my cards flashed to 950 on the core and I'm rock solid stable......looking to get more voltage than my BIOS editor app allows, as well as some memory voltage (none on my BIOS tool)

What card do you have? I have voltage control on my X1950XT in vista 64 but I had to use the beta 1 .exe to get it.

Well, more info here about the black screen issue with ATITool 0.27b4.

It seems that this bug is somehow related to the Catalyst built-in overdrive feature (or I think that it is so). When windows is started normally, the core is lowered due to the overdrive (no CCC installed nor any ati services started, but the overdrive works anyway Oo). If the default clocks are forced via Rivatuner, then clocks can be applied via ATITool too, and either max core-mem finding utility (but it's still a little buggy, because if when it's scanning max core/mem I try to open firefox, causes black screen again...).

I noticed all this stuff messing up with the new Catalyst 7.12 in Windows XP 32-bit. I hope this info might be useful for someone.

I think it's very good that 2D clocks are used (heat, energy, global warming etc. :D). I told some times in this thread, that I could only overclock while in 3D Mode (best way: start a game & minimize) cause then the Voltage for the core is raised to 3D Mode. I had to go to 3D Mode, do the overclocking, save the profile and set it as startup profile. Then the 2D mode would still set clock to lower values then you set in profile (vcore too), but as soon as it's switched to 3D, the clocks you told would be set automatically (without 3D-detection profile). Do you have the option to set "driver-level overclocking" somewhere in ATITool? So I think this is more a bug of poor explanation in all overclocking Utils manuals:laugh:.
And for my old x1950XT it didn't made a difference if overdrive was enabled, it fully cooperated with other Utils (Rivatuner too). I read somewhere that the ATI services and ccc should run, to make the 2D/3D overclocking work.

Hello Wizzard,

Atitool does not recognize my EVGA 8800GTS 512MB card. Can I help relay any info that you need for Atitool so it recognizes the card?

i would also like to know if you plan on supporting the 8800gts 512, i just upgraded from an x1800 and all im getting is temp monitoring. I miss my ati tool :cry:

[Alp]

same Question, is MSI 8800GT 512 OC support planed soon ;);) ?

Hi to all!

I'm using a Powercolor 2900xt 512mb with Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit version. In Windows Xp Pro Sp2 everthing is normal, my video card clock speeds are 743/828 as it says on the card's manual. But on Vista, Ati Tool reads speeds 509/510. Is it just 2d clock speeds and normal? When I run a game like Crysis, do clock speeds decrease to default 743/828? I can't get Ati Tool to read in game clock speeds. I'm suspicious about if my card runs at lower speeds then default speeds.

At Windows Xp, Ati Tool runs just fine, readings are right and I can overclock my card. But at Vista, it seems messed up! Not read right and when I try to overclock and hit the "set clock" button, it turns to default 509/510 values! I'm playing Crysis at dx10, medium detail level and 2x AA but performance isn't really good at all. At dx9 mode, game runs much more smoother.

My system is;
MSI K9N Ultra mainboard
2*1gb Kingston 667mhz ram @ 5-5-5-15 533mhz
Amd x2 3800+ cpu 2ghz@2.4ghz overclocked
2*250gb Seagate sata2 hd's (raid0)
Silverstone 500w power supply

Can you help me please? Is my card normal and is it just my cpu which is the "weakest link"?

Sorry for my English if I made mistakes :)

I would say it's normal that the game doesn't run with the same FPS on directX 10 as on directX 9, because more effects are supported in dx10 which need more calculating Power. Why don't you start f.ex. Crisis and minimize it (Win-Key or CTRL-ESC or ALT-Tab) and then reopen ATITool, then it should show the 3D clocks. It is important that ATITool should be closed (to tray is enough) and reopened, because it refreshes the shown clocks only then. Or get GPU-Z from here (http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/) to check the clocks while a game is running.

[iluve]

Thanks for your quick reply Alp. Are you Turkish by the way? :)

Actually I tried to minimize the game and checked Ati Tool for 3d clocks but I guess it can't read them because it showed 509/510 again. I'm on my notebook now, will try Gpu-Z and write the results ;)

Tryed making new profiles for 2D and 3D settings ?.. All so remember to setup the 3D detection for changing clock speeds. Check Startup to so you load the 2D clock by default..

[iluve]

@ AsRock

How can I set different clocks for 2d and 3d, can you explain? Because I couldn't remember that I've seen that option :)

[Alp]

Yes, I'm turkish but born and living in Germany ;).

Where Do you read the Speeds? I found out that the most sure way is, to hover mouse over Atitool Tray Icon for 2 seconds, then a Tooltips pops up showing clocks. F.ex. on my 8800GT it shows 0/0 for the clocks in Atitool main window, but the Tooltip correctly shows 720/1020.

@ AsRock

You just have to save 2 different profiles, one for 2D one for 3D, and select them at the 3D-Detection page (see pictures). But if your driver is installed correctly it should switch automatically making this not work, but you should try yourself. The worst that can happen then is, that it doesn't raise the Voltages right and you have 3D-clocks at 2D-voltage making screen flicker, go blank etc. My experiences... :laugh:

Were it says profiles it's the 3rd button called New. Then you will have to set the clock speed that you want for 2D click the button Set Clock then save it then repeate for your 3D profile except for higher clocks than 2D was set at.


So make new profile set clocks that you want click Set Clock then save.
Do as Alp Says

Hi,

I got a 2900XT on vista 64, but i can't overclock with it, could not force 3D frequencies or other...

I ticked the 2k box on Settings, and try with or without 3d detection.

Please can you say me what i sould do?
thanks

[iluve]

Hi again!

Selam Alp, ben de Türk'üm yahu :) Söylediklerini deneyeceğim eve gidince, şimdi iş yerimdeyim.


@ AsRock

Thanks for your reply, I'll try as soon as I get home ;)

[Urufu_Shinjiro]

For those looking to test 3d speeds in game a good method is to use the latest rivatuner, the monitoring software is awsome. Open up the monitor, it will have a whole screen full of graphs with temps and speeds and such. Leave it running, play a little of your gaem and when you come back to the desktop the graphs will show exactly what happened while you were in game. when you move your mouse over the graphs it will give a vertical line and give exact numbers at that point in the line graph.

[papubhai]

when wil atitool be available that will work OK on hd 3800 series serious fan issues

[iluve]

Hi again!

I've tried the tooltip trick and yes it showed the normal speeds (743/828) but just once! Actually I did not remember which did I do first, did I set the 3d detection or did not? Anyway, I've tried both way and right now it can't read nor change speeds. Besides, at first when Ati Tool reads normal values, I tried to overclock my card but when I click set clocks button, it returned to 2d clock speeds.

When not in game, I cannot use the set clock button either. What can I do? It really bores me :(

[AciDCooL]

Well I'm using an club3d 2900xt 1g ddr4, and i have to say atitool's support is very limited on vista.. when I've used it and I close atitool my fanspeed gets stuck @ 4488rpm out of 5600rpm(read with everest)
So you can understand thats its kinda loud. Only way to fix it is 2 reboot.
But surely they wil come with a fix in due time. Same with rabit they working on a nice new version with support on 2900 and those new 38xx. So I can finally turn the noise down for good on these heaters.
Tried to find those offsets on my own but not very successful so far, but it doesnt rly help that I dont know what im looking and of course with x1950xts there was some like 83% fanspeed would in the bios as 17%.. the needle in a heystack for me

[MondoCool]

This is pretty useless, it doesn't apply the clocks I even disabled 2d/3d switching and killed ati2xxxx and it still doesn't do anything, all I wanted it for was for voltage and it doesn't even do that back to rivatuner. PS I am using x1900xtx, vista x64 dfi t2r x38, and 6 gigs of pc2-8000 ram.

[pt]

useless for you, and it's prob 'cause you're using vista x64

[aydc]

Cannot set clock speeds on Vista x64 with the latest nvidia drivers on my 8800 GTX.

This used to work perfectly on older Atitool betas with older nvidia drivers, but with beta4 and the latest drivers, clock settings return to default immediately.

I tried editing the ini file to set different clocks, but that doesn't work either.

We need a beta5 immediately. :)

As far as I understand, this is normal. U can't overclock your 2D Mode clock, the driver allows overclocking ONLY in 3D Mode. And this is good, why would you need faster 2D speed. So, I had that on my 1950xt too, you overclock with a game running in the background, save it to a profile, set it as "startup-profile" (not 3D detection). Then, when profile is loaded, it still shows the slow 2D clocks, but as soon it gets to 3D Mode it's clocked to what you said in profile.

This sounds weird first, but as soon as you understand, it's the best way overclocking.

Try installing beta 4 and replacing ATITool.exe from beta 1 (Post #140 in this thread).
Sigh, I start feeling like a parrot...

I wonder where Wizzard is. This Tool is 90% bugged with Vista, plz give some feedback. Or is he an "one man army" and has to to all the coding by himself? Then I would understand why he's not answering to all the question
