Hi there


This is a shoutout.
I am asking you the forum members who may have contacts for some of the Pro overclockers out there to see if you can get hold of the latest AMD GPU Clock tool for me which supports 7970 please.

I want this so I can see what these cards can truly be pushed too on the stock reference cooler.

I personally feel the cards will deliver 1250-1300MHz core on the stock cooler and needless to say at such speeds they will be a good 10% faster than present.

Please help me get this clock tool, I shall be trying myself next week when AMD are back, but if someone can get it me over the weekend, then first thing Tuesday when I am back I can give this 7970 a real good work out.

Happy new year to all in Graphics.

I believe at the moment they are using Unofficial Overclocking with MSI Afterburner. You'll have to edit the Afterburner CFG file to enable this.

You'll need to find these lines and edit them like this (The UnofficialOverclockingEULA part will be blank and the UnofficialOverclockingMode = 0 by default). Wordwrap should be turned off.

[ATIADLHAL]
UnofficialOverclockingEULA = I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it
UnofficialOverclockingMode = 1
AccessibilityCheckingPeriod = 0

UnofficialOverclockingMode = 1 or 2 are the allowed values. 2 disables PowerPlay. You'd probably want to try 2 first.




That should be how they've done things so far. I can't confirm this will work since I don't have a 7970... Unless you want to send me one so I can try it and let you know?

Enjoy

To be honest, I can't see why above wouldn't work.

I thought about this, I guess that Afterburner doesn't yet support the 7970? Give it a go anyway Gibbo, you never know

Nope the AMD OC tool is defiantly the right tool to use, lifted this image off of a foreign website but i cannot find the tool for download anywhere, only version 0.9.8

I hope you can get hold of it Gibbo.

Talks of 1550MHz under water. Which I will hopefully be doing

Yeah, but unless you know someone at AMD I doubt it would be easy to get hold of that before launch day. In the meantime I'd bet the MSI cfg edit will work fine.

Well its not exactly what you were after but this will work just as good.

Enable advanced mode on left coner

setting, tuning, enable overclocking range enhancement.

Have fun.

Hi Gibbo, this site has this version - AMD GPU OC TOOL V.0.10.6.0, it might be worth keeping a eye on the site just in case they get the V.0.10.12.0 -

Thanks, this worked and I'm at 1225MHz core and 7800Mhz stable.

Yeah I had a go with that and got unto 1300MHz on the core, was pretty amazed.

That means these cards can possibly reach 1300/8000 on stock cooler, WOW!
