    I'v been having an issue lately with my GPU's clock not running at what it should be. the general settings are

    MHz
    ===
    300- i almost never see

    500- normal idle

    700- while gaming or using graphic intense programs
    --------------------------------------------
    But as of lately, iv been seeing this

    405 - Watching flash , or idle

    500 - during gaming

    700 - never (i cant even induce it when i try)


    If I reboot it goes back to 500 idle and 700 when I game. But aside from that, it started happening a little while ago, and through my GPU driver updates it keeps occurring.

    eldragon0, what Vbios are you using?
    R U familiar with RBE RBE - Radeon BIOS editor
    This will allow you too see what is going on with the clocks and easily (for a novice like me) to modify you existing Vbios to prepare it for reflashing. I am not advocating modding or reflashing, I only made a minor change to battery clocks on the VBIOS from here G73/74/53 Series Driver and Application Reference
    See Betas area.

    I have some experience with it in the past but also,
    what is everyone's take on ATI tools?
    great little OC/UC utility.

    EDIT: apparently i lost my version of ATI tools that worked with this....so to the alternative ; Riva tuner

    AMD GPU Clock tool works really well; or powerplay when/if you flash one of the modified vbios.

    Do i need to flash a modded bios on before AMD GPU clock will work?
