i have an X1900XT which i used in my amd rig and worked fine. ive now put it in my new conroe rig and with the help of someone off here we've decided that its underperforming as a result of not changing from 2d clocks up to 3d.

up to now ive tried different things. using a rang of driver ranging from the ones that cam on the CD, latest ati drivers and even omega drivers (currently using).

ive also tried different programs to try and clock my card, this includes CCC AtiTool and Ati Tray Tools.

after all this im still not able to get my 3d clocks working.

if you have any ideas or suggestions they would be much appreciated.

thanks for looking,

yes its disabled. and it still wont chnage the clocks i downloaded rthdrlb to test it and its doing nothing. sitting at default 2d clocks :mad:
 
okay ive tried that too. still doesnt work. but.. wether its on or off i cant actually set ATT to save any clocks higher than stock 2d. i can move the sliders and try and save it and it saves them as the 2d settings.

this is really getting on my nerves now, 3 days ive been trying to get this sorted.
 
Have you told ATT not to kill ATI Hotkey poller on startup? Its in the options somewhere. Then use the overdrive 3 overclocking options.
 
Uninstall drivers
Uninstall ati tray tools

-

Reinstall drivers
Reinstall Ati tray tools ( DO NOT LET IT DISABLE ATI HOTKEY POLLER )
Use Overdrive 3 ( atleast until the newversion is out )

There is currently something going on with the drivers that flick the cards back to 2d mode when a movie / intro is loaded ( overdrive cards only ). Some games not all

it WILL NOT clock to 3d clocks no matter what i do. so should i un-install the drivers & att then reboot and install the drivers, should i still use the omega drivers with att and overdrive 3
 
wont do anything! im stuck at 2d speeds i cant change them. do i need to re-install windows to get it to work? i'll try that tomorrow night.

i dont see why it isnt doing it like it should even with stock drivers and the ccc.

thanks for advice and help.

I'd uninstall all traces of the ati drivers and re-enable any ati processes that you've disabled and start fresh with the official 6.10 cats and ccc. Leave the overdrive screen open and run 3d mark 05. In between each test, when it reverts to the desktop, you can see the overdrive screen and what clocks its sitting at - it should read the 3d ones. If this all works fine then retry att, and if its not working in there then you've set it up wrong.
I find its always worth running new hardware at stock setting with all the official software for the first week to make sure everythings working properly and only then start playing. That way its easier to rule out hardware faults over self inflicted software faults.

Btw, did you have an Ati card before this one or an nVidia?? Old traces of nVidia drives can cause quite a few probs with the ati drives. Just a thought.
 
i have done 2 fresh install's of windows with drivers and i had this card in my old AMD rig and it was working great at 670/780 im just not getting any clocks higher than 500/594 in my conroe rig
 
Mine does the same on a conroe m8, no matter what i do won't change form 2d to 3d clocks, but when i tried bf2 i hit 100fps most of the time so i doubt i be getting that in 2d mode, i just assume its not changing in ati tray tools or somet.
 
In ATT you have to set the clocks on the sliders then hit apply, open yp the hardware monitoring window and add the gpu and mem clock speeds.

Then you will be able to see whats going on.

You need the latest ATT, services disabled and a good read of my guide as your doing something wrong :confused:
 
i cant add, save or apply the clocks it wont let me and i have followed his guide. its just not working
 
well ive got home and ive been having a play and i set it up to use the clocks 671/778.

i opend the graph thing and it stays at those clocks when i run 3dmark and im still getting below 5000. also. when it ATT if i put the settings to 500/600 and show the 3d redering thing, i get 291FPS and then i set it to 671/778 and i get the same 291FPS, my clocks are changing but my results arent.

any ideas?

How do you know it's stuck at 2d clocks? The only way to ever see the 3d clocks is to use dual screen and have CCC running on one screen monitoring the clocks and a full screen game running on the other.
 
Theres plenty of apps that monitor and log the clock speeds Fish99
Rivatuner & Everest to name 2
