HD 5470

[ashishmax31]

hey guys ,
i recently bought a dell laptop with hd 5470 with ddr3 vmemory which is clocked at 900Mhz (as given in the amd's website) ,but when i checked it on my lap it says that its got only 800mhz ( ati catalyst center.)

BUt when i check using another software(AIDA 64) it says that i've got only 300Mhz!!

DDR3 only 300Mhz??

More over none of the softwares says anything abt the stream processors!!



Please help me!!!

well that card is not that much fast enough,i think your card would be at idle like other ati 5000 series cards do.well nothing to worry.

With the HD5000 series, the core clocks change depending on how much stress youre putting the cards through. For example, my 5870 runs at 300mhz until I start playing games, and if you check while you are playing a game, you will notice that the clocks have bumped up to 850mhz.
This is nothing to worry about, its just the power management portion of the card doing what it thinks is best, this is completely normal. Also, I would advise using MSI Afterburner or GPU-Z, those are the best monitoring programs out there right now.
Hope this helps!

thats right.you should just try gpu z for the real specifications.if you want to test your card.turn on anygame ie dirt 2 and then check specifications,you will notice a difference in clocks!hope this helps.
