best for overclocking?

[lookingtoOC]

ooookk... right, here goes, (confidence is high, beggining now!)
basically, My question is, what is the best program for OCing a 2900 pro on vista, since Rivatuner seems to be for Nvidia cards, and atitool wouldn't let me turn up the clocks at all, and said it didn't know what version of catalyst im using (7.10 btw) and also i didn't find either of them saying they actually supported vista (32 bit, btw again)

well then you are f'ed cuz those are the only two that are out there i guess

 

[lookingtoOC]

how very informative.
I don't believe you

Rivatuner and ATitool are the only ones that I know of that work with ATI cards. The other two that I know of are nTune and Coolbits, but they are NVidia only.

Rivatuner does work with ATI cards, but it doesn't look like R600 is supported. The highest the list goes is R580.

edit: The other one I just stumbled across is ATI tray tools. you could give that a shot.

CCC?

I cant think of any others.. why doesnt rivatuner work?

 

[lookingtoOC]

isn't rivatuner meant for nvidia?

 

[Hatman]

No, not really. Does ATI too.

just wait for a new version of ATITool to come out, im sure it wont be long since the 7.10 drivers rocked.

You could always try a BIOS flash if you wanted but thats kinda risky.

Cant wait to give it a go though

 

[lookingtoOC]

when is the new version of atitool coming out? if you don't know, do you know roughly? and how much did teh 7.10 drivers rock?
(enough questions? :lol

 

[Hatman]

Still waiting for real benche sbut if they rock as much as ATI claim they do, then they sure do rock a lot.

As for new release, I got no idea, I only tried it for the first time today

 

[lookingtoOC]

ok, i'll just look for a while i got the urge to OC when my friend let me use his crysis beta key

 

[lookingtoOC]

anyone know any others that work right now with vista and 2900's?

This is one reason why I'm happy that i RMA'd my HD2900 Pro and got an 8800GTX OC instead. NO PROBLEMS!!

On a serious note, ATITool is the program to use. I do believe a BETA version is out that may help you. I also might add that without the 8-pin PCI-E connector, the Catalyst driver locks the card from being OCed. (Might be wrong though, but I did however read that somewhere.)

I tried the beta of atitool, it lets me control the fan, but the clocks? whenever I click "set clock" it just resets it straight back to the standard
