Getting my 6950 to 880 core

[tom91x91]

Well after having sold my second card i may aswell make the most of my current, it is unlocked

I assume this is right? But how do i get it past 840? and do they go much higher than 880?

I read a guide but it involved heavily modifying the registry which im too much of a noob to do lol (dont flame me lol).

Also what is a sensible speed to set memory and power control at?

thank you to any advice!

use sapphire trixx or msi afterburner to overclock past the ccc limit, each card will overclock differently but i would say 900/1375 is quite doable

ok ill try trixx, but msi afterburner makes bad company 2 crash for me.

cheers

So will trixx im afraid. they are technically the same program. Both are essentially RivaTuner.

Think you can set afterburner to overclock it on startup...then you can turn it off...i think the oc will stay in place....worth a try

 

[tom91x91]

okies thanks anyway, i can run bc2 maxed anyway without an oc so i can always close it down when i play it.

Going to do some benchmarks from the normal 800 to 880 not like its gonna make a huge difference lol.

sorry i cant get HEAVEN to run, just closes when i open it, also i cant open CCC with trixx open, is this normal? shal i just leave CCC off? Also what the hell are load MMdriver 3 of them in processes in task manager, file location something to do with ati drivers

any advice appreciated.

 

[Jasonst888]

its not normal for ccc not to open when trixx is.....this is very weird.

Maybe uninstall it and see if same prob with msi afterburner.

 

[tom91x91]

ok will do

i jsut tried heaven and got this:

after 3 tries all the same



edit: Afterburner wont let me get past the CCC limit like trixx does.

I think im just having bad luck with ati;s fail drivers oh well ill be ok with 840, its not like im running metro or crysis 2 in 3d lol

 

[Jasonst888]

umm sounds like the drivers arent activating properly....you tried another game?

 

[tom91x91]

yeah, ive always had problems with heaven anyway, ill give 3dmark a go to see if i get a few extra fps

I do love my 6950 but ati drivers for me seem terrible, half the time when i install new ones it bsods half way through installition!

 

[Jasonst888]

Which drivers you on?

 

[harmony]

Then try Radeon BIOS Editor to modify the maximum ccc limit.

 

[tom91x91]

Which drivers you on?

newest, think 11.6.

meh stupid drivers, games are fine, its just getting it overclocked thats giving me problems, i unlocked it fine (shaders), jstu cant get it past 840. Ill keep trying

excuse my spelling i havent been to sleep for about 24 hours and am falling asleep at the pc

 

[Jasonst888]

I'd recommend 11.4 personally, they are the most stable so far.

Cant get it past? as in it wont let u or as in it fails when u do?
