    Any way to get RadeonPro to work with 7970m in a P150em?

    I'm trying, and failing, to get this awesome tool to work with my 7970m. At first it was giving me an error message on startup, until I realized that it can't recognize the GPU unless it is being used by a program because of Enduro. However, even when it does recognize it while its being utilized, all the options in all tabs are still greyed out, and a lock icon appears next to the GPU name in the "Overdrive" tab.

    How can I get this to work with this card? I'm running Windows 7, if that makes a difference. Also, I've tried this on Catalyst 13.1 and 13.2b5, with the same results.

    Have you tried running it in compatibility mode for Windows XP? I see it has support for some pretty old hardware and that the minimum requirements are for XP, so it's worth a shot.

    I'll delve further and get back to you if I find anything useful regarding it. :)

    The 7970M in enduro configurations can't be made to support overdrive functionality unfortunately.
