MSI Afterburner + 10.3's

I've just realised MSI Afterburner no longer changes profiles from 2d to 3d anymore since installing the ATI 10.3 drivers, has anyone else run into this problem?

It was working fine with the 10.2 drivers, when in windows it was using profile 1 (stock clocks) but whenever a 3d application opened it would automatically switch to profile 2, overclocked settings.
 
Why would Afterburner be doing that? It's CCC that handles that isn't it? Afterburner (afaik) only controls 3D clocks/voltages.
 
This is what mine looks like after having just run Heaven benchmark:



My G19 LCD shows the clocks going up to 800/1100 in Heaven/games as well, on both GPUs, then back down to 157/300 in Windows.
 
So it's not a 10.3 problem hmmm, I'm confused now!

I've also noticed my clocks don't drop to 157/300 like they used too, has anyone got any idea as to what might have changed?
 
Okay now I'm confused!

Profile 1 = 725/1000 (stock clocks)
Profile 2 = 850/1200 (overclocked settings)

When I have Profile 1 enabled on the desktop the clocks are set to 400/1000mhz (too high) and when I run FurMark it jumps up to 725/1000.

When I have Profile 2 enabled on the desktop the clocks are set to 157/300 (perfect) and when I run FurMark it jumps to 850/1200.

Now this makes me think I should just leave Profile 2 enabled as it will drop the clock right down for the desktop/general web browsing and bump up for intensive tasks.

But I don't understand why it won't automatically jump between profiles anymore, and why the clocks don't go down to the proper 157/300 using Profile 1.
 
Its not that 'EnableUlps' setting in the registry thing again is it?

EDIT: Yep, that fixed mine. Find all EnableUlps in the registry and set to 0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Cl ass\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0003\EnableUlps

set 1 to enable ULPS
set 0 to disable ULPS

Thanks for the suggestion but no luck unfortunately :(


Clocks at 400/1000 on the desktop but under load 725/1000

Clocks at 157/300 on the desktop but under load 850/1200

Also as posted above it's not toggling between 2d and 3d profiles as it should.

Sorted!

Apparently having a 2nd monitor enabled made the Profile 1 desktop speeds bump up, but then when changing to a non default profile it took them down.

I only had the 2nd monitor in clone mode so I don't see why it needed the extra clock speed?
