New beta version discussion

Ray Adams · *Last edited by Ray Adams; 12-06-2006 at 13:25.*

I just decided to create open beta testing forum. Everyone can now download beta version and discuss it here.
Please do not download beta version if you don't sure you can handle beta testing! Beta version always has bugs, and some times BIG bugs

So join this forum only if you sure you can take such risk

_______
Addons:
Please do not post beta version on any File Sharing/Download servers. This is not RELEASE and shouldn't be available for public domain.

Here is a link to current beta version. I will update that file after fixing new bugs or adding new features.

Because the final build number is unknown at this time, I will post information about changes and build number of last beta version.

1.2.6.956
[F] Fixed procedure to display memory clocks as DDR in Overclocking Window.[*] Updated tray icon

Hi Ray,

First of, the new icon looks much better than the last one =)

And now to my problem:
I have Sapphire Radeon X1800GTO...I used ATT v1.2.6.940 to overclock it perfectly (except some problems with auto overclocking and not working Overdrive3). After I tried new version (955) and now the last beta I'm experiencing some troubles with OC profiles. I will try to explain it best I can.

I am able to create OC profiles without any problem. I made one OC profile core 700MHz/Mem 700Mhz and increased voltages and "default" profile with default clocks and default voltages. Now the problem occurs, when I try to load the "Default profile" after having loaded "OC profile", I get blue screen and it's over...In previous version 940, it never happened.

For that matter, I run on Catalyst 6.10 Display Driver, I have disabled ATI HotKey Poller and I am using Low Level Overclocking. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Sickie

No ideas. I didn't change Low level overclocking method since 940 build. So it should work like in previous builds. May be Catalyst 6.10 is a key to that problem?
BTW. When exactly you have BSOD? When manually switch from OC to DEF profile or after games?

sickie · 11-07-2006, 22:19 | posts: 7 | Location: Czechia

Thanks for reply, Ray

I get the BSOD when manually changing from OC profile to Default profile, I didnt try Auto Overclocking at all. I also tried some more things. I made another OC profile on 720/720 with slightly more voltage (1.425/2.225) and I can changing between those two OC profiles without any problems. But when I made profile with little bit increased default voltages (for example 520/520 with 1.125/1.925), the same thing happening all the time - changing to OC profiles = no problem, changing back to decreased clocks and voltages = error...

I rather went back to version 940, it just works better for me so far...Have no idea why, but it does.

Quick question ray, will I ever have voltage control for my card? Or the lack of overdrive feature mean its not possible?

This tool has made me decide to go R600 btw!

I noticed my X1800GTO doesnt have overdrive support, too, yet the voltage control works for me in ATT. So I guess it is not related to it. Maybe you just have to wait as X1900GT is a quite new card, so Ray has to work on it for some time...me guess.

Ray, on 956 is already present but hidden the VDDCI and MVVDQ voltages setup?
Thanks,

When changing Advanced Tweak options the driver doesn't always notice them right away. I usually have to open CCC and change an option in there. I usually toggle the Temporal Anti-aliasing in CCC and apply and undo and apply again to make the ATT options take effect.

The ATI Hotkey Poller is not killed.

I dont know it this is what I should expect or not, though.

You are not right. I never sow such behavior of ATT. All should work without any problems.

The newest official version and this beta both cause my laptop's screen to scramble and freeze when attempting to enter hibernation. I get a wrong low-level driver warning when I boot-up and the problem goes away when I uninstall ATT.

I'm using the latest Catalyst Mobility 6.10 drivers.

Did you install any non official Catalyst drivers with ATT bundled? You shoudn't
see this error

Also if your board doesn't have temperature sensor you can disable I2C in atitray.ini. Any way I never tested ATT on X1400 Mobility. So there are can be a lot of problems . ATT doesn't fully support mobility chips.

Well, I used to have an older version of ATT installed when I used the default Gateway drivers, but they were getting pretty old and Valve's Steam said I should upgrade, so I installed the default catalyst mobility drivers.
ATT seemed to work at first, but I only started getting these errors when I updated to the latest version.
In fact, I had to roll-back in safe mode because one of the freezes caused me to lose some important system files.

P.S. Now that I think about it, the version of ATT I was using before might have came from some Omega Catalyst drivers I tried, but uninstalled because they didn't support screen rotation with my laptop (essential for using in Tablet Mode).

Could you add a Zipped version - it works even whit out install it and could you add Z-Buffer depth 32 Bit

PS.And could you add Romanian Language to the latest Build - I want to see if everything is fine before you release an official version

No. Because installator should upgrade your old version and this should be tested too

nd could you add Z-Buffer depth 32 Bit

Which 32bit and where?

Download last beta and please update Romanian translation. There are a lot
thing was not translated.

___________
To all. New beta version uploaded to the same location.
Whats new:
[*] Updated tray icon
[+] Added hotkey to switch monitor rotation between 0 and 90
[+] Added Romanian translation and updated existing translation files
[+] Added Memory IO voltage control for X1xxx video boards.

Now you can burn your board with new voltage regulator!

Didn't realize that, I can't download the "english.txt" for some reason so I got the "http://atitray.fangel.ru/t/english.ini" hope is the right one.

Glad you asked, I've been using Catalyst CP before ATT and there you have Option in OPenGL: Force Z-Buffer depth -> Force 32 Bit, but on ATT max is 24 Bit, I know old card don't suport this function but for them you have 16/24 Bit Z-Buffer.

AXS · 11-10-2006, 09:54 | posts: 245

Romanian Language Updated

As I know there are no 32 ZBuffer. You can force 16 or 24.

2 AXS. I've asked you to take romanian.ini from last beta version! In your thranslation there are no Overdrive section and a few other
