Does anyone know if there is an alternative to ATI Tool as it isn't compatible with Vista :(


Just realised that Vista isn't supported:

ATI Tool will only work on Windows 2000/XP/2003 (64 bit versions are supported)

I want to see what the overclocking limits are on my graphics card.


Thanks.
 
It didn't work as I'm using the 64-bit version of Vista which requires signed drivers.

Anyone know of any alternatives?
 
side note - I installed my 4870 last night, tried Ati Tool to see the framrates (X800GTO got ~160fps with nothing running.

On Task Manager, Ati Tool doesn't go below 94% Cpu usage, but it does not seem to respond in anyway. The furry cube doesnt move. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling after putting hte new card in, but it is still the same.

Any ideas what might be causing it?

I know that you are asking reflux that question but I would just like to say that I didn't know that the command doesn't work as I've only been using Vista for a few months.

Also after entering the command, I thought it had worked as I got this on screen:

The operation completed successfully.

ATI Tray Tools does work under Vista so long as you use the latest beta and not the official release.

My card is a Nvidia card - a GTX 9800+ so ATI Tray Tools probably won't work :(

You have to disable digital driver signing.

Google it. It does work. (Working on W7 64 bit here after disabling signing!)
 
You guys are noobs. ;)
well most of you lol

Copy this into your Vista x64 or Win7 x64 run bar and press enter

bcdedit -set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

this will let you fully install ati tool or riva or anything basicly lol
