mycrx · 04-16-2007, 10:09 AM

just tired bf2142, im getting 22fps yea wow vista is a joke i scored 45+ while overclocked on the same settings, i flashed the bios to nvflash -4-5-6 v600c800.rom, what is the problem???

Doughy · 04-16-2007, 10:54 AM

Perhaps vista is the problem, can you dual boot with xp and try?

volcano_mage · 04-16-2007, 11:18 AM

so ok i decided i dont want to use 1.24 volt, so im using juanlu's unlocked bios with no Volt mod. everything went fine, and right now im using atitools to change speeds, im running 415/585. no artifacts so far, but if i set say core to 440 or memory to 600 artifacts appear all over. is the 1v mod roof around 415/585 or is something wrong/different with my config.

What version drivers are you running?

the_scotsman · 04-17-2007, 03:41 AM

Hey folks....I've been out of the GPU BIOS flashing/overclocking scene for a while now...I haven't had the need to overclock (been playing GTA-SA Multiplayer SA-MP and it runs great on the GS standard).

I now have Test Drive Unlimited and it is a HUGE strain on the GPU...

I am running Vista Ultimate (32) with the unlocked 1.24V optimized BIOS.

I remember I used to be able to get the memory up to 800 or even 700 with no problem, but now anything over 650-700 just crashes Windows and I have to restart...

What sort of core and memory clocks are people getting on Vista? What drivers are people using?

I am using AtiTool to O/C...is this what people are using?

Thanks!

I'm running a dual boot of XP and Vista. In vista I'm running XG Mobile 101.70 driver and using ATI Tool to clock it. At 653/850 it scores 9753 in 3dMark05. In Xp I'm running XG Mobile 97.92 and using ATI Tool to clock it in at 653/850 and it scores 9835. I chose ATI Tool for the ability to make profiles. I really don't have a need to have my card overclocked at all times.

apropo73 · 04-18-2007, 10:52 AM

I'm using 101.70 drivers and flashed 790gsuon.rom but Atitools doesnt recognize the hardware and i cant change any setting through it. had installed coolbits as well but cant see anything under nvidia settings.
Anyone has an idea how can i get control of the video card?
Thanks

apropo73 · 04-19-2007, 01:40 AM

Anyone has idea how to make ATITools working?

melshaw · 04-19-2007, 10:00 AM

In Vista I have to right click the icon for ATI tool and select run as administrator.

mycrx · 04-20-2007, 08:16 PM

yea i have a solution as i had vista and it was going great until i ran 3dmark05 and noticed my score was down by 2000 points, and i even went back and flashed the bios with the gsx flash so it stuck, it was set at 600/800 and yea enough said, i uninstalled vista and installed xp, score was right back the same.

apropo73 · 04-21-2007, 03:57 AM

did it as administrator but still all atitool options are unavailable

Did you get a 'kernel mode' error popup when u launched ATITool? If so just reboot as for some reason the driver doesn't load sometimes when entering windows.

newfiejudd · 04-21-2007, 08:24 PM

Some Help please.

I have a 7900gtx and I have flashed the 790GTXUO.rom. I am unable to get any clocks in vista using ATI tool above 560 core and 744 mem. I am using 165.01 drivers. Anyone have any idea why?

This is a new card just replaced by Dell since my Lappy was dropped at work.
My old card I could clock up to 650 core 800 mem easily. I hop ethis isn't a junk card.
