    What's this card's default frequencies?

    I received mine today and I found it's running 500/1200??????
     
  2. Those are your 2D clocks.......3D clocks are 625/1450 for the XT and 650/1550 for the XTX. *sigh*......I've told about 30 other people the same thing. Maybe next time you will use the "search" tab on this site?;)

    While I perfectly understand those are 2D clocks, ;)

    But I monitored the frequencies with RivaTuner and these frequencies don't change under 3D Applications.

    That's why I'm asking ;)

    If you're looking at a 2D application, you're not seeing the 3D clocks.
    If you run CCC Overdrive, you can see it's real clocks move up as it's finding your max frequencies...other than that, I don't know if there is another way to actually SEE your 3D clock speeds, because all the programs I know of to see your clock speeds are 2D applications.
    Does the card not perform extremely well in games? (just curious)

    you can see your 3d clocks, just run rivatuner hardware monitoring....

    Yes I disabled the Overdrive but still no change in frequencies in rivatuner hardware monitoring.

    The ATI Tray Tools also says overclocking disabled??? Whenever I change the frequency it just revert back to 500/1200

    Is ATI cards locked from overclocking?
     
  7. No ATI Tray tools does not support overclicking on the Xk1 series of cards. Did you use ATI Tool beta? If so, did you disable driver clock switching? If you did just re-install your drivers. I would recommend 6.3's as they were the best set of drivers for my X1900XTX

    I tried ATITools also. Shows 500/1200, changed the clock and reverted back.

    I'm installing 6.3 now..and see if it works.

    OK installed official 6.3 + CCC

    Still the same.....:rolleyes:
    Now core clock is 333MHz???????????
     
  10. Here's a thought....Did you re-install windows when changing over from Nvidia? This is usually recommended to completely remove any and all registry fragments of your Nvidia drivers. Sucks yes, but I think it will help you to solve this problem.

    OK Finally solved.

    Firstly I disabled the ati hotkey service in services.msc to get rid of "Overdrive"

    Then I used ATITool to adjust frequency and voltage. The voltage stays on 2D voltage if you don't do anything.

    Finally I can do some overclocking.

    If you want to see your cards clocks dynamically changing in 3d apps, simply run the hardware monitoring graph from tray Tools in the background, or set the OSD to display clock speed.

    Very simple.
