G73JH HD 5870 low GPU clock

on my G73JH HD 5870 i am getting low GPU clock of 500mhz instead of 700mhz any way to fix this?
and every time i run AMD GPU Clock Tool it say no valid device found.

 

Do you have the any ATI drivers installed?

 

Change it from entertainment mode to Highperformance. Entertainment mode seems to clock it at 500/1000.

As for the GPUTool thing, I dunno.

 

latest driver 10.4.
this is a fresh install of windows 7 with out all that asus stuff.
the gpu clock have aways been 500mhz even with the original OS with all the power saving feature disable. i dunno why it wont go to 700mhz.
also is there any way to control the fans of the laptop? i would like to max it out to 100%, 30% is kind of lame.

 

Hmm, you may have to return it if the clocks won't budge. There is no way to control the fans, pretty much all laptops are like this though.

Have you tried running any games to see how they run? I didnt spend much time with 10.4, but check on the Powerplay settings, its possible they are set on maximum battery or something weird like that.

I guess if all else fails, revert back to 9.12 drivers, they seem to be the most stablest on all G73s.

 

yeah i been playing Metro 2033 and the GPU is at 99% utilization and same clock of 500mhz. i'll try this 9.12 driver and see what happen.
is there any way one of you guy can compile a tweakguide for the G73 tons of pages here about G73 hardly possible to look at them all?
is using that ThrottleStop really cool to use? and whats a cool tool to use to monitor all the cores turbo activity?

thanks for the quick feedback

 

That's a new one I haven't heard before having AMD GPU Clock Tool saying that there is no valid device found. It's possible you had a failed install of the 10.4 cats, or that you installed the wrong cats?

Have you double-checked the power saving settings in both P4G and ATI's CCC? Although, I believe if that were the case it would have knock it down to 300/1000, and not 500/1000.

A tweak guide it isn't specifically, but if you want a decent place to start check out the link in my sig and read the thread.

ThrottleStop is for when you are on battery and want the CPU to run at normal AC speeds. For the cores, check out HWiNFO32.

 

cool thank you.
apparently i was running the wrong version of AMD GPU Clock Tool.
i managed to get to 800/1000, should i be worry about it not getting to 700 by default and had to use OC instead?

 

Uhm, set it to 700 with AMD GPU Clock tool?

What are you using to check your settings- GPU Clock tool or something else? I agree with Kalim, do an uninstall of the ATI drivers, run a driver cleaner, toss in a reboot for good measure, then re-download and re-install. You've got what appears to be a software issue somewhere. Doesn't sound like hardware since you're sitting relatively stable at an 800mhz overclock.

 

GPU-Z, Everest, AMD GPU Clock Tool, been running Heaven 2.0 at 800/1000 overnight no problems so far.
but i formated it 3 times already and install CCC 10.4 fresh and it aways goes back to 500mhz and not 700mhz, here is my Everest GPU spec:
