msi radeon 6970 lighting current value problems Catalyst

[karl2002]

Having issues with my new gcard

I have it overclocked and i know my overclock is stable but have noticed that Current values Sometimes dont even change to my oc when playing a game
infact they change to 800mhz gpu clock and 1375 memory clock. when infact they both should be 1000mhz gpu clock and 1400mhz memory clock. 2 days i didnt have this problem but now do. It appears a Restart of my pc sets them to there ocs and works fine for abit.

Heres a screen shot of catalyst and msi afterburner

Any chance you could upload a bigger picture?


Just guessing but perhaps you shouldn't use AMD Overdrive and MSI Afterburner at the same time.

Or do you need to do that for the Power Control Settings?

Found the issue and fixed it

Here it is for everyone incase others have this problem which im sure others do. took this off amd forums where i found the fix.


======================================

There is one extreme flaw with the ATI catalyst control center that has existed scince forever of what i can remember. It is the only real error with the ATI drivers that causes instability.

Please oh please make a function in AMD overdrive to ignore the 2D clockstates. To go from Idle directly to 3D clockstates even if you only watch a movie or so. That middle step is supposed to kick in when watching movies etc to save energy. But when gaming in windowed mode which virtually all MMORPGers do, and such (largest playerbase there is).

Having a browser open (who does not) and the game makes the drivers switch and or get confused between the 2D and 3D clockstates over and over and over and then the drivers crash. That constant switching between the 2D and 3D clockstates causes so much instability im pending on buying nvidia instead. Scince right now its a permanent instability error in the drivers.



We need an option to ignore the 2D clockstates without tampering with the firmware on the graphics cards. Who cares about energy saving when the cards are unstable due to it.

I had to run my 4870X2 at 3D clock states 24/7 to avoid this issue, my current temporary card is an XFX one so i dont want to void the warranty due to it beeing very low quality, had to RMA one already.
