DreamScene & Overclocking

[MiOB]

Hey all,

I'm perplexed; Why does DreamScene lock my graphic card's clocks?

When DreamScene is enabled my 4850 constantly runs at 625/993, regardless of 2D or 3D, in contrast with DreamScene being disabled, then it runs at 500/933 when 2D, and 670/1100 when 3D.

Any fix, or, as expected, I must disable DreamScene in order to overclock my card?

Cheers!

DS is a POS, just disable it

Well mate, I didn't ask for personal likings.

He wasn't giving one, simply giving you an honest answer. DS is awful and will crash your machine or GPU drivers. Very poorly made, VLC is better running as background if you must have an animated one.

Dreamscene is the only thing on my Vista 64 setup that has caused crashes and lockups.

Every time I enabled Dreamscene it would result in some sort of system hard lock which could only be sorted by resetting.

Other than that never had a single problem.

I've been using it for months, and it honestly hasn't once caused my PC to crash, or my graphic driver.

To be frank, I wrote "as expected" since I knew the easy way would just be disabling it.
I'll wait for further replies, maybe others will have a better solution.

i wasn't aiming it at you, was just being straight and to the point
