    Hi all.

    I just reinstalled windows, and for some reason I cannot overclock my ati mob. 4670 anymore!!
    I opened rivatuner (same, untouched folder..also tried reinstalling)..and under low-level settings there's only FAN control. The whole overclocking tab has disappeared!!
    I tried MSI afterburned and AMD gpu clock tool but both don't work.
    I've no idea what's going on, I haven't changed anything!

    Thanks

    edit: I even went back tot the same GPU driver as before (catalyst 12.2) but I still can't OC!

    I fixed the problem!!
    Apparently, after catalyst 12.1, ati/amd have removed 2 files needed for rivatuner etc to be able to overclock. They are atipdl64.dll and atipdlxx.dll. All I did was put the dlls in system32 and syswow and voila, instantly worked. Didn't even have to reboot or reinstall rivatuner.

    I think because I had installed previous catalysts before 12.1, the files were still in there. Might be useful for others who are going to format!!
