Post Your Stable Overclocks! (Radeon HD 6770M)

^ at what clock and did you overvolt?

 

I can't change my voltage.
I even went to the .cfg file in the MSI folder to set
UnlockVoltageControl
UnlockVoltageMonitoring
both to 1 but it doesn't work. D:
My CCC is 12.2

Edit: I have a dv7
i7-2630QM
8GB of ram
HD 6770M
1 GB

 

you can't overvolt with any driver after 11.9.

 

Yup, you can't overvolt after 11.9 and you can't overvolt using MSI Afterburner.

 

Hi guys,

I wonder, if you all test your stable overclocks only in SYNTHETIC BENCHMARKS or do you (can you?!) also play games with the clocks posted?!

With Catalyst 12.2 I can not reach more then 795/840 stable playing Crysis 2 DX 11 High Res Tex (my laptop is dv6-6b55eg, i7 2670qm, 6770m 2 GB gddr5). If I go further, laptop freezes.

Can anybody test that?

 

each chip is different and so overclocks differently. the best test is to use both the synthetic benchmarks and the games as well.

 

Clocks are in my sig, 860 core/1060 mem and yes I did overvolt, voltage is 1.055. Using the latest HP/AMD 11.9 driver.

I really wish I could overvolt with newer versions.

 

Me too. And now since AMD removed the files needed to make 3rd party overclocking software to work in their recent set of drivers, Unwinder the MSI AB creator might drop Unofficial Overclocking for AMD GPU.

 

Overvolted. Still possible yo!

^ how? you're using Leshcat drivers? did you mod anything?

 

have you tried using the /XCL (eXtend Clock Limits) in Afterburner? according to Unwinder, it's using official AMD APIs to extend the Overdrive clock limits in the CCC.

(i am just not sure if mobility chips can use the CCC Overdrive feature or not; i know i can't with my laptop!)

 

I've been doing some tests today for stability, here's some results on what I've done today for you guys

Tested using MSI Kombustor running at 1366x768 full screen (I run most of my games on that resolution anyway), for 50,000 frames (around 6 minutes), 12.1 Catalyst driver, overclocking with Sapphire Trixx v4.1.0, turbo boost enabled for processor, run on a CoolerMaster Ergostand cooler.
I've also run L.A Noire for 30 minutes on each clock settings and no artifacts.

50,000 Frames- 6:23
Core: 850MHz
Memory: 975MHz
Voltage: 1.050v
Max Temperature: 81c
STABLE

50,000 Frames- 6:14
Core: 850MHz
Memory: 1,000MHz
Voltage: 1.051v
Max Temperature: 82c
STABLE

50,000 Frames- 6:10
Core: 875MHz
Memory: 1,000MHz
Voltage: 1.052v
Max Temperature: 83c
STABLE

50,000 Frames- 6:25
Core: 875MHz
Memory: 1,025MHz
Voltage: 1.053v
Max temperature: 83c
STABLE

As you can see the last one was bottle necking even with the highest clocks, might run it again with a different voltage to see if that makes a difference.

 

^ On what setting you use for that benchies?

Yeah i've tried that.

 

^Dude nice score there. How did you manage to overvolt? And what drivers are you using?

 

I used the Burn In test on MSI Kombustor, full screen using GL2, no AA, 1366x768.
Sapphire Trixx lets you over volt when you overclock.

 

How exactly did you did you do that?

 

I just got P1888 with 878/1011 clocks. And I have the same CPU as you. So if I use his clocks then im sure P1900 is achievable.

 

If i recall correctly, i get P2028 with the same clock and Catalyst 11.5b.

 

@xAcid9: so when are you going to let us know how you managed to overvolt with 12.2 drivers?

 

^...have to agree here. Do you want money or something? Cause you're not gonna get it.

I too have the 12.2 Leshcat drivers, tried many tricks for the OV to work...nothing.

I'm also kinda suspicious about his screeenshot. I have the exact same software/hardware and I successfully OV, the "Cur VDDC" displays the current voltage which should be more than 1.050. Just sayin'.

Was it an early April Fool's joke?

 

^ money is the least thing i had in my mind.
i'm testing it for awhile to see what it will do to my system before i decide to show how. don't want someone else system brick because of me.

current VDDC depend on which clock mode you're on.
Idle mode, 2D mode and 3D mode. For 2D(400/800) and 3D(725/800) mode, it will use 1.050v and for Idle mode(100/150) it will use 0.900v. I modded my Idle mode to use 1.000v to check on something.

 

Aha! Seems legit... very nice of you to test it beforehand for us.

I can assure you though that we're all adults here (at least I am) so we can take full responsibility for what we do.

 

I'm still trying not to be an "ADULT". That said I've gone beyond 850/1000 without overvolting. I haven't had any crashes but I have had bottlenecks with Vantage and 3dmark11. I'm not sure how far I should test my O/C as it seems fine at 850/1000 but I'm still curious to try getting beyond that hehe

 

Hi all, i recent bye hp dv6 with amd 7690m. I install a msi afterburner and provide a cfg trick. When i try a overclock my card i have a bsod immediately. Last card i overclock with rbe, but bios of 7690 rbe cannot aquire. I also have a catalyst 12.3 from hp support website. I want to undervolt and overclock my card. Anyone help?

 

did you try using Sapphire TRiXX?

 

@xAcid9: any news on your journey to the overvolt-land?

 

lmao i forgot. its abit buggy and success rate is not 100%. i get best result with Leshcat 12.2 UP5 and not 12.3.

12.3 is abit buggy for me. anyone using 12.3? can help check whether the graphic clock stay@725/800?

 

Sapphire TRiXX told me disable ulps. I try to check the box "disable ulps" and restart my laptop, but all the same TRiXX ask me to disable ulps. I also tried this key of registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\ 0000]

but the same result.

 

I got easily to 850mhz/950mhz and stable. Using the Sapphire Trixx. I'm getting 1724 pts with this OC in 3Dmark 11 (Core i5 Pavilion DV6). Temperatures 85°C max.

 

Which catalyst driver version?

 

It worked flawlessly on 12.1, 12.2 beta and now 12.3 whql.

 

Using Leshcat 12.3, yes default clocks are 725/800. It's like it never kicks in to 2D mode. That is definitely not good. But not bad either.

 

12.4 has fixed idle clocks .. really looking forward to overvolt in newer versions

currently runnin 900/900 on 1.055 ... really need to overvolt ... i don´t know how you guys can reach 1000mhz on memory

I got the 2 gig version .. that could be the problem .. but there are no i7 with a 1gig version around, sadly

now running 900/980 with 1.070 ... looking really good so far

 

Hey, I just got the same system and had the same results when overclocking.

The stock HP drivers will BSOD if you try overclocking with MSI Afterburner. No matter what clocks I set it always crashed. So I switched to the Catalyst 12.4 drivers and disabled ULPS and now I can overclock a decent amount without getting any bluescreens/crashing.

Stock clocks with the 7690m are 600MHz Core and 800MHz Memory, my system is stable at 750MHz Core and 950MHz Memory.

The only downside is that with the 12.4 drivers the GPU is listed as a "Radeon 6600/6700 Series" instead of 7690m, but it performs just as well (if not better).

 

don't worry about "Radeon 6600/6700 Series"; it's just a name and doesn't mean anything.

 

Yeah.. you can change the name to anything u want.

 

Yeah I know, it's just one of those dumb OCD things that irks me. I'm sure one could easily change it by messing with the drivers or something.

But it could be listed as a 1mb Cirrus Logic ISA card for all I care, so long as I get a decent framerate in Crysis 2.

 

Thanx, i install a catalyst 12.4 and afterburner 2.2. Now i can overclock my video card. But in afterburner i see 3 radeon 6600/6700 card, early i have a 2x6620g and 1x7690. And now i have wrong monitor parameters of integrated card...

 

any news on overvolting with newer drivers ?

 

Overvolting works fine for me on 12.4 Catalyst.

 

So this would work on the HD 7690?

 

How did you do that ?!?!

 

Stabilized around 81c.

HD6770M
Core: [email protected]
Memory: 1001mhz (actually can go max 1040 but i like 1001 )
TurboBoost limited to 2.3ghz.
Catalyst 12.2 UnifL UP5

30mins Furmark burn-in@1024x576 + 4xMSAA


Can do 900mhz core but at 1.65v. Only slight increase in performance.. so i stick with [email protected].

 

Your desktop looks really snazzy, mind sharing how you got your games to appear docked at the bottom of your screen like that?

 

It just RocketDock. I put my games shortcut there and googled nice icon for the game.

 

Catalyst 12.6 beta v8.980. If you happened to get sticky clock problem, just use Afterburner to apply clock setting and that will fix it.

@xAcid9 Could you tell me how to limit turboboost to 2.3GHz like you did ?

 

Use ThrottleStop 4.10..



dayyumm this forum need auto image resize or spoiler tag.

 

so xAcid9, any news on how to unlock overvolting on newer drivers?

 

I guess i'll make a separate thread for that.
