Not working with HIS ATI Radeon HD 3870

MatHatter · 11-06-2009, 09:46 PM

Overclocking doesn't seem to work with this card. The "Find Max" for the GPU (I haven't tried setting the Memory Clock yet) just kept running, well beyond 1500+ MHz before I closed the app, with no change in stability or an appreciable increase in temperature or FPS on the test counters. Manually entering a value and hitting "Apply" has no effect.

The Sensors tab seem to be working though.

Card is a 512 MB HIS ATI Radeon HD 3870 and I'm running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

Okay, system specs have been filled out.

Using ATI Tray Tools in the meantime for overclocking... is RivaTuner the better choice?

Not that I'm getting any drastic performance increase anyway... my CPU and memory are big bottlenecks right now.

Which version of ATI Tool did you use? Have you tried the newest version or the beta already?
