GPUz Says -1MHz WTF

[TheGamblerUK]

I was testing in FurMark hitting around 120FPS then installed the latest Catalysis and it dropped to 14FPS. So i took a look in GPUz and it says : Pixel Rate -0.0 / GPU Clock -1.0 / Memory -1 / Default Clock 500 / Memory 150.

Why is this happening with a high performer Sapphire Vapor-X 7950 ?

Is it me or in this whole forum everyone reads your threads but no help.

Thanks TH

I fixed it, the problem was my catlalist settlings configured wrong with the card, i reset the settings and put them back to Maxed out.

I have 2 questions can you answer.

1. if i overclock my GPU without messing with the voltage will it still have a long lasting life as normal if the temps stay under 70c
2. I have overclocked to 1700MHz Memory without touching the voltage, my screen freezes after 15 mins of gameplay is that because i need to clock down ?

you are overclocking with Sapphire Trixx or using AMD Overdrive, try to move slider board power limit to 20 in trixx and power control settings in amd overdrive.

Any freezes mean instability. The life of most GPU's is more than the time you will keep them even oc'ed.

Also people read and don't respond if they don't know/can't help.

Im ocing with trixx ( latest version ) I was told never to alter the voltage ?

 

[darth pravus]

Power limit isn't voltage

Power limit isn't voltage

Ohh okk thanks so that is safe putting it to 20 ?

Yeah. No worries
