need help with a MR9800 256

lol
i think u need to know that nothing is locked and u were just settin ati tools wrong...
i like radlinker far better than ati tools and it's simpler to use

1-uninstall ati tray tools
2-ok look for radlinker in google, guru3d, or anywhere u want...
3-install it
4-after ur done installing it
5-on ur desktop right click and click on radlinker
6-the radlinker window will come out and it should show the clock rates section... if u have them by default core should be 351 and memory should be 297 something like that...
7-check the Enable Clock Rate Change
8-try wutever clock speeds... i use 432/432 or 445/400 and it works great heat hasn't increased a bit
9-click on set
10-click on use current
11-click on ok
12-just to convince you that ur radeon 9800 is not locked, reboot ur computer and repeat steps 5 and 6

also a very important factor why xps gets lower framerate in games sometimes is because u have a lot of dust on ur heatsinks and ur fans don't do a very good job with the airflow and u might hear the fans goin fast all the time so open ur two fans and get the dust out of the heatsinks and then with a can of compressed air blow the air from the back of the laptop to the heatsinks... u can clean the fans with compressed air before blowin into ur system too. i did that and now and i get 100fps in WoW 1920x1200 and i used to get 40fps before so u should try that too

I had exactly the same problem when I tried to use modded desktop 5.11 drivers on my laptop.
The solution: Installed the mobile version of 5.11 and they work like a charm.
Here's the link:

I couldn't get the mobiles either, that's why I tried the desktop ones. Stupid ati makes you download a file that checks if your laptop is compatible with the drivers and it says it's not (which is bullshit). It's a good thing a nice guy posted the direct link.

worked for me... ionno why it won't with u guys
