ATI Gpu recover

[Energize]

Why is it that when this is enabled my games crash and burn? Im sick of that error message coming up. When I disable it games work fine no problems at all. So why does gpu recover actually cause the problems in the 1st place?

Have you overclocked at all? It may be because the card is overheating so it shuts down the program to not cause any damage to the card itself.

i never had problems with it, but i also hear loads of horror stories about it.

i really liked the feature, because a simple gpu/driver crash wouldnt take the whole system down. Yet when games crash on my Nvidia, its power off time! doesnt Nvidia have this feature at all?

I always disabled VPU recover back in my 9800PRO days, running 3DMark or ATi Tool tells you if you're running an unstable overclock.

it's just one of those things ati wasted time/effort implementing for sake of their feature list, alongside smartshaders etc.

just disable it and be happy.

No the card isnt overclocked at all.

I have a 9800pro that suffered with this now my card is beggered as my screen gets all lines and squares in it when I play games and sometimes on the desktop. This is anoying as I've never overclocked my graphics card I wondering if it was down to my sound card being to near to it so the fan was not doing its job as well as it could.

Have you actually checked the running temperature? Would you rather have your games crash to desktop occasionally or have your GPU fried?
