Afterburner question

05-18-10, 04:43 PM

I can get pretty dense sometimes, but tell me what I'm doing wrong here please?

Look at my clocks - isn't the app showing the wrong clocks in the wrong places??

I've googled this for quite a while and can't find an answer - someone clear me up on this please?

Thanks in advance guys

100% positive your GPU is *not* running at 1.6Ghz. Sounds like there's a bug with that tool.

It appears to have the shaders and core speeds confused.

That's my guess. As to a fix, or having even heard of this before... nope.

Unless somebody else chimes in with a fix or more solid info I'd suggest just running the cards stock for now.

nvm - solved
using 1.60 beta 5

Edit: Just saw your reply Redeemed - yeah, it threw me too. The latest beta has good support for the card though.

Awesome.

Now, commence OC'ing till that card squeels for mercy!

No need to oc yet - running cool and sweet and playing what I like how I like.

I had the same thing when i first downloaded it. It took me a while to realize, it was an older release.

Heh, I did the same thing.

They really need to just put the link to the beta on their website.

What's the "force constant voltage" setting for?

It would make it so much easier...

The GPU voltage apparently drops with the clocks when in 2D mode. If you overclock a lot, I guess this drop can result in instability. Having the voltage stay constant would obviously raise heat output and power consumption considerably, but if you're really pushing your card to the limit, constant voltage may be necessary to maintain stability.
