ATi Profiles

[Firegod]

Hi

I have x2 profiles which I use with my 4870. I have one called "Gaming.xml" and another called "Windows.xml". The difference being the fan speed and core/mem speed.

I've noticed something however within CCC, I'm just wondering if this is how it should work or is it a bug?

If I load my "Windows.xml" profile:-

...
        <Feature name="CoreClockTarget_0">
          <Property name="Want_0" value="50000" />
          <Property name="Want_1" value="50000" />
          <Property name="Want_2" value="50000" />
        </Feature>
        <Feature name="MemoryClockTarget_0">
          <Property name="Want_0" value="95000" />
          <Property name="Want_1" value="95000" />
          <Property name="Want_2" value="95000" />
         </Feature>
...
        <Feature name="FanSpeedPercentTarget_0">
          <Property name="Want" value="30" />
        </Feature>

I get the following CCC information:-

As you can see, the Clock Settings all tally up to what I've set. However, when I load the "Gaming.xml" profile:-

...
        <Feature name="CoreClockTarget_0">
          <Property name="Want_0" value="50000" />
          <Property name="Want_1" value="50000" />
          <Property name="Want_2" value="79000" />
        </Feature>
        <Feature name="MemoryClockTarget_0">
          <Property name="Want_0" value="109000" />
          <Property name="Want_1" value="109000" />
          <Property name="Want_2" value="109000" />
        </Feature>
...
        <Feature name="FanSpeedPercentTarget_0">
          <Property name="Want" value="40" />
        </Feature>

I get the following CCC information:-

I'm just wondering why hasn't the "CURRENT CLOCK" speed changed for the core speed? It still says 500Mhz yet the memory has increased to 1090Mhz and reads correct.

Also, looking at the "Gaming.xml" profile the Memory section has 109000 for each value. Whereas the core section has 50000 twice and then 79000. I tried changing these to all 79000, but nothing changed. That is, not at first. What I found was if I load the profile it looks the same, but if I then load the profile a 2nd time, the following happens:-

Notice how the slider for the core speed starts and ends with 790Mhz. I wonder why the memory slider is unaltered with having the 3 entries all the same, but for the core it doesn't work the same..... This is only if I click the profile twice from the list. Werid!


Anybody able to help out, or is this all normal? I'm mainly worried about the Core speed not changing in the box. Thanks!

Bump. Please, can someone just quickly check. I'm sure someone else must use profiles?

Thanks.

If the gpu isnt being stressed it underclock the gpu to 500. When you kick in a game the core will go up to 790 your overclocked rate. Note in both pictures your GPU activity is 0

Yep, click on the 'test custom clocks' button and the core speed should rise to the expected clock.

Phew. Thanks, I was expecting it to set instantly like the memory does. Glad to see everything is ok.

Thanks!
