Hi all, I recently updated to the 13.8 Beta 1 drivers and had no problems, until I plugged in my second monitor. Both cards ran at 800Mhz with no issues. Now, after I plugged in the second monitor, the primary card will only run up to 500Mhz. The secondary has no problems and runs at 800Mhz OK. My primary monitor is driven off one of the DisplayPort ports while the second is driven off the DVI port (both on the primary card). I noticed the temp of the primary card has gone up by about 15C since I plugged in the second monitor (not in games, just idling) Is there some setting I havent set properly thats forcing this behaviour ?? Thanks
Did u disable ULPS? There's a Beta 2 out you could try http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/amd_catalyst_13_8_beta2_(13_200_11_august_14)_download.html
looks like I fixed it. Swapped the cards around. Now the card that had the problem runs at 850Mhz and will occasionally spike to 925Mhz. The other card stays on 800Mhz as it always did. Also, I upgraded to the BETA 2 13.8 drivers. Not sure if it was the drivers or the card swap (or both) but its running better now
Good to hear your issue is sorted. And running more than 1 monitor will bump up your idle temps by a bit but nothing at full load to be much more maybe 10-15% more heat if that when i tested it.
