Hello All,

I replaced my HD4830 crossfire setup with an Asus HD6850. I was looking forward to playing around with the voltage control for the first time. When I installed the HD6850 I just did a driversweep of the old drivers and that's it. At that time, Asus Smart Doctor kept telling me that I didn't have an Asus card. So I figured it was a driver issue.

But today I did a fresh install of my O/S and I'm still having the same problem. MSI Afterburner won't let me do anything as well.

Am I doing something wrong or what?

you need the latest version, the older version doesnt allow it, might still be a beta

SmartDoctor has a 1000mhz limit so If I can reach that without any problems, I'll try Sapphire Trixx.

I also just got an asus 6850 that's meant to have voltage control. The only one i can get working is sapphire's trix, but it only supports voltages up to 1.226v, i'm not sure what to do. i've tried MSI afterburner, Asus OC doctor and the TPU one. None of them allow me to overvolt. They are all latest version and i have tried editing the config for the MSI AB.
Any ideas?
