7950GT Overclock

GPU-Z

 

Well I think I may have found a bug...

 

ATI tool, rivatuner and even the nvidia control panel can be used to get these number for me atm.

 

Here's the problem. Boot into XP, do a light OC of 650/800 or so. Run a game for a few mins (GPU at OCed 3D speed), stop game. (GPU drops to 2D clock speed) Now set 3D clocks to whatever you feel like in 20mhz or so increments. Start another game, 3D clock remains @ default 2D clock level even if you OC the 2D clock speed.

 

The only way to get the GPU to go out of 2D mode after this seems to be a restart.

 

Forceware version is 169.01 (beta)

 

I'm mainly wondering if anyone else has run into this issue. Ohh UPS is here got to go grab new toys (Sadly no 8800gt)

this has happened to my 7800gtx a few times. driver issue perhaps.

Drivers are my guess, but I'm a little busy atm to do driver swaps (I'll prob spend the night playing with it rather than sleeping though )
