Want to push the 4850's on M17 - What to use to OC?

I tried using GPUTool CTP1

http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1383/GPUTool_Community_Technology_Preview_1.html

but it crashed as soon as I opened it


I didn't even bother downloading the older one b/c it was the download was posted in 2007 so the 4800 series wont be on it


Suggestions?

 

in ccc you should have a tool called ati overdrive????

let me know if you see it. then we can get started

 

Nope! I looked for it in basic and advanced views

 

Did some googling, apparently it might have something to do with ATI Smart service being disabled? Does that make sense?

 

that's weird that they don't have ati overdrive in it. unless they disabled it in the bios. they are was to find out but it will take a while.


try this
http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1128/AMD_GPU_Clock_Tool_v0.9.8.html
and follow the steps here

just the way how to use the program
also what driver are you using. if this doesn't work then download 8.10 and 9.7


edit: i haven't heard of it but you can enable it and see what's up.

 

installed GPU clock tool v0.9.8

ran it and my computer froze, waited like 5 mins to see if it would recover but it didn't so I had to restart

I did the 9.7 mobility mod and games work just fine, no driver issues at all

wonder what's up

 

right click it and run it as admin and see what happens.

 

right clicked, there is no run as admin option

 

you trying to eat a hard cookie.

quoted from another website

it should look like this


pm for another one.

 

Overdrive is not supported for mobility cards if im not mistaken... Hence why its not there.

 

It was on the W90 .

 

it does work for the w90 and the msi gt725 which has the 48series in them. just the 3870 which flextronics disabled overclocking on. and ati stopped overclocking on 8.10

 

did you forgt who is supplying these cards to them

 

Did it actually work on W90 ? I know the option could be there, but did it actually worked ? Ive tried about 10 different drivers so far which none of them had that feature.

 

It bumped up the scores a abit . nothing to write home about but it was there and did function to an extent .

 

AMD GPU tool only works on drivers 8.10 and before

 

yeah but i thought that was only for the 3870's. i thought the 4850 wouldn't be affected????

 

....same people

 

so then we need ati overdrive in order to overclock them then?

also if the bios is locked out then we are just out of luck?

because i know the w90 and the msi gt725 overclocked no matter the driver but now that i look at it, they only used ati overdrive to over clock there cards.

 

Yeah, it doesn't work, just tried it again, comp froze



Cant overclock them then? Not a big deal I guess, I installed:

left 4 dead
cod4
fallout 3
crysis warhead
prototype

I can max out cod4, left 4 dead, and fallout 3 no prob

crysis warhead gives me only 18-23 fps on enthusiast 1920x1200
prototype gives me ~23-27 fps but when I oc w/ SetFsb to 2.7Ghz it runs around 29-31, obviously the qx9300 or x9100 would fix this

 

he needs to run a pre 8.10 driver or wait or wait for GPU tool to support it

 

EDIT: All tests performed with mobility modded cat 9.7 drivers

Just a performance report, I installed:

left 4 dead
cod4
fallout 3
crysis warhead
prototype

I can max out cod4, left 4 dead, and fallout 3 no prob ~60fps or better

crysis warhead gives me only 18-23 fps on enthusiast 1920x1200
prototype gives me ~23-27 fps but when I oc w/ SetFsb to 2.7Ghz it runs around 29-31, obviously the qx9300 or x9100 would fix this

prototype is more cpu dependent then on the gpu. a i7 should bring even greater results. only when at high res.(1920*1200, 2500*1500) and when aa4x is enabled it will matter on your gpu if it has one gb of vram.

 

For prototype you need to go into your device manager and disable some of the HID devices in there and you can do this while the game is minimized to see the effect it has on the frame rate.

Google prototype hid devices
