another x1800xt question

ace1981 · 24 Aug 2006 at 17:30

do you have to set the core clock manually to reach 1500 /750

as it saying it 600/700?

oh ive had use the cm stacker dual psu adapter to split the power it seems ok at the min

LoadsaMoney · 24 Aug 2006 at 17:55

Nope, just start a game as thats the 2D speeds.

ace1981 · 24 Aug 2006 at 18:20

how do i overclock if those are just for 2d?

MeatLoaf · 24 Aug 2006 at 18:21

Try the overdrive feature in the bios.

fish99 · 24 Aug 2006 at 22:05

Just fire up CCC (go make a cup of tea while it's loading btw) go to the ATI overdrive bit, click the unlock icon on the right, and off you go. 690/800 shouldn't be a problem for the stock cooler. The slider bars will sometimes reset to default if you hold the mouse button too long btw. Remember to click apply.

The 2d clocks don't change btw, only the 3d ones.

3DMark06 deep freeze to check it's stable.

Blimey how do you get the kettle to boil in about 3 seconds. :eek:

Ahh probably as its just boiled before you put it back on.

Ain't it the truth.

Mine loads in about 3 seconds.

Mine didn't.

I don't even use it anymore though, ATI Tray Tools is the best.

sanofi · 24 Aug 2006 at 22:11

Ati Tool will do the trick as well, create a profile to load at 3d application launch set with your OC settings.

Oops, yeah. I meant ATI Tray Tools for display settings, for OC settings then ATI Tool is the best.

First time after rebooting it takes about 9 seconds for me, then about 4 second subsequently. I dunno, it just seems longer somehow

I wish they'd do a minimal skin for it without the 'flashy' graphics and the stupid 3d animation rubbish (which I have turned off anyway).

I don't think it's just the graphics, I think it's all the integration with the .Net Framework technology and other things. All nothing but bloat.

If I had written a piece of software in college and come out with something like Catalyst Control Centre I would've been given a fail.

On my X2-4800+/Raptor RAID 0s CCC loads up in about 2.843 seconds!

Considering that your spec is ultra high-end, do you not find that to be far too long?

You just keep telling yourself that.

But you'd have been offered a job by ATi, so it's not all bad.

2.957 seconds here.

I foresee "how quickly does Catalyst Control Centre open?" becoming a benchmark. :eek:
