RivaTuner v2.10 is on the way!

Interesting... I've been having mysterious random crashes with Rivatuner 2.09, Everest and Samurize combined...
I'm pretty sure it's somehow related to each other but I've never been able to disclose it.. hopefully this new version fixes it...

 

ah no worries but is fan control still possible?

 

Fair enough...although, Catalyst Control Center is a resource hog, and delays Windows boot up time....the ability to use a program (such as ATi Tray Tools or even RivaTuner) is much more sought out after than using ATi's CCC...as i've been using RivaTuner for a while I was only hoping I might be able to have it as an option....but fair enough, dude.

Well, is there any documentation or other resources you could point me to so I could try discover where/how to get refresh rate control working with DX10? Since getting the 4870, the only game I could play with no problem was Bioshock...every other DX10 game won't play above 60Hz...and it's killing my eyes.

Cheers.

 

This is good news, good news.
Hope you had a good vacation.

I'm still on an 8800 GT so I'm practically useless on this topic, but I'll try out the final version anyway.

 

Unwinder,

Sounds really good and looking forward to it.

Might I ask you a simple question if you have time to respond as it's just concerning the PCI-E bus phase locked loop reference frequency switching from you experience. At which clock ratios / frequencies does the G200's switch between Internal PLL and external PCI-E PLL references? I've come across some oddities on my Intel X48 board where in the PCI-E frequency is from 104-110MHz it will sometimes result in random display lockups/dropouts or cross chatter on the Northbridge/Southbridge. I've found any frequency outside of this is fine, and actually that > 112MHz is where it is really happy. 108MHz ends up in large cross chatter / electrical noise and causes USB hangs.

This phenomenon only seems to occur on Intel chipsets, as far as my testing has gone so far. I know that Nvidia at some stage was using a 125MHz clock on their PCI-E 2.0 slots, while only 100MHz on the PCI-E 1.0 slots. Could this possibly attribute to the problem where the card expects a 125MHz PLL reference from PCI-E and only gets a 100MHz reference to generate the 2D / low power 3D clocks.

I've come to the conclusion this has something to do with the Internal PLL using a multiple of its 27MHz reference clock for clock generating the core/shader clocks.

The other weird problem I noticed was with Rivatuner 2.09 settings the clocks to a non standard multiple based on the Internal PLL, or even bios clocks causing the 2D / 3D clock domain switching to play up or disable and stay in Performance 3D mode until next video post on reboot / power cycle.

I was wondering if it wasn't any trouble and if you understood exactly how the new architecture works in this regard if you might be able to shed some light on my experiences/findings. It would be of the greatest appreciation even if you could shed any light at all with your knowledge in this area (as it appears to be a great unknown to most)

 

Thank you, 48xx support greatly appreciated, especially the fan control feature.
I assume that fan control principles for the 48xx cards are the same that apply to the 3850/3870 fan controller, right?

 

then i would be happy to beta test 2.10

 

Anynews on when the beta will be ready for testing?

 

Yeah, i noticed. Good luck with those idiots!

 

Thanx Unwinder, i look forward to testing out v2.10.

 

Fantastic Alexey! The wait is almost over.

I'm sure you've had lots of requests, but I can help test 4870s on XP and Vista 32bit.

Thanks again!

edit: going to send you my email via PM just in case.

 

well i'm selling this 4870x2 than
keep up the good work and good to see you back.
