5870 CCC 2d idle clocks forced

[straxusii]

Since the 10.5 drivers has anyone been able to fix these so 2d runs at 157/300 and 3d is whatever your overclock is.

I've tried messing about with the ATI profiles and afterburner but havent found a solution yet.

Do you mean the 5870s won't revert back to their original 2D clocks if you've oc'd? I'd like to know why as well.

Try using Ati Tray tools. It has auto 2d/3d overclocking and can take the place of CCC whilst offering more features wite a lower footprint

As it does not look like ATI is going to change this new "feature" I just use Afterburner. It is easy to create 2 profiles for default & OC clocks and assign to 2D/3D automatic profiles in settings.
I don't use ATI Tray tools because of the hassle of it being unsigned though it could do this as well.

Just use the Afterburner. It works all right, didn't like it much at first, but the hell it works.

Set Profile 1 as default clocks and 2D profile, Profile as whatever stable overclock you have and as a 3D profile.

My Profile 1 (2D) is 725/1000 at stock voltage (1.087V)
Profile 2 (3D) is 910/1200 at 1.149V

Just to clarify, setting default clocks for the 2D profile means that the system will correctly clock down to 157/300 when idle. The 157/300 feature/bug only appears (and sets 2D clock to 400/1000) when card is overclocked.

I created custom bios for my 5970 so no need for Afterburner etc to do it for me. Actually created the bios as quite often Afterburner wasn't actually setting the clocks on boot up, had to go in and alter it slightly and apply it again before it would put them on, got a bit tedious

However, idle clocks work fine for me still with my overclock on

Thanks for all the help guys.

I finally got it to work as follows in afterburner:

Hit reset to set everything to default 850/1200 and save this as profile 1

Set your overclock and save as profile 2

In settings/profiles set 2d as profile 1, 3d as profile 2.
