couple of silly questions

[conoflex]

1. Why is Everest Ultimate reporting this: GPU Clock 500 MHz (original: 815 MHz) on my Asus 4870 ?

2. Why after installing my 4870 on my machine has Dreamscene stopped working (load up dreamscene video clip and screen goes Black)

Not major issues i know but i hate when things don't work properly

1) Dunno what everest ultimate is/does, but GPU's tend to clock down to draw less power when not running 3D apps.

2) Not a clue, perhaps reinstall it

For 1) it is normal that when you're on the desktop the gpu is in 2D mode (i.e. runs at a lower clock) only when you start up something in 3D (i.e. games) then you'll find it clocks up, in this case 850mhz.

For 2): no idea.

I did say they were silly
1. ok got the fact that it runs at lower clock speed, just seemed odd as everthing else is reported as per spec.
Guru, it reports things like speed and temp etc
2. have reinstalled it it was working with 9600GT extreme but not with 4870
