0.25 Beta 14

[W1zzard]

- Fixed crash on X1900 when entering settings under high 3D load
- Show messagebox with explanation and link when user clicks on dump bios button on x1000
- Disabled saving stuff to default profile for Gamma, Mem, Fan. Default profile is default and not a custom setup
- Added support for many ATIGL GPUs
- Fixed "do you want to disable ati clock service" warning not saving "do not ask me again"
- Added Gamma for X1000 Series
- Changed rendering so that there is no more lag when not scanning. during scans this might still be possible, to maximize heat output
- Fixed issue where the renderer would not initialize properly if running on secondary adapter
- Bug where ATITool was never picking up artifacts fixed

Are the problems with detecting artifacts on older cards older than X1800/1900 fixed?

[W1zzard]

yup .. edited announcement

Hi Wizzard

Were you able to find and fix the DT raster lock with the 1900's when either 3D Window was open and other ATItool buttons were clicked. Heck were to reproduce it since it may have been system specific for all I know.

i think i did

[KennyT772]

hey w1zz everything seems to be working great except i cant get temp monitoring to work on my 9600xt. i get the graph but no readings and no control.

[W1zzard]

tried rebooting? previous beta worked fine?

Hi.

First of all i want to say thx for this very nice program. I love it
I had problems with "Find Max Core", it didn't stop raising the clock until my x800xtpe crashed or I stopped it myself.

will there be a version for crossfire i am currently useing a 850xt and 850 crossfire edition on a msi RD480 Neo2 motherboard and just learning about ati tray tool i would like to see both temp at the same time for both cards? your program is the best i have seen thank you

[R350np]

Yeah, good job, W1zzard.

This beta now detects some artefacts at "Find max ...", but i´ve a bad message for you: Not even all artefacts will be seen! I can see a lot of artefacts, before atitool stops the clocks raising (sensitivity at "lowest overclock"). Maybe the slider "lowest - highest Clock" didn´t work?

Something got messed, cause A64 tweaker V0.6Beta is useless, dont work anymore.

[Super XP]

I un-installed the 0.25 Beta 13 & installed the 0.25 Beta 14. It worked fine until I restarted my PC, now I get an error message - and now for some reason I cannot even make 0.25 Beta 13 work anymore.

Here is a link to the error

ANy help in this manner is greatful - System Spec's are in my SIG
Thanks

I used Registry Mechanic to get rid of ATI Tool registry commands. Try that and see if this helps. I had a similar problem with B11 to B12.

Well, for some reason it is now working ?!?! I can't really say what I did, because I do not know. ANyway, it is up & running.

[HousERaT]

W1zzard: uninstalled 25.13 and went to 25.14....... used one of my profiles from 25.13 (which also has increased clocks & voltage tweaks) and my card instantly froze up.

Thanx
Will test tonight.

Why the hell is ATiTool overclocking from 2D frequency instead of 3D ? So it starts at 300MHz instead at 500MHz (hint: i have to wait half an hour for ATiTool to even reach stock 3D speed ). I'm running Gainward 6600GT. Please fix this!

[infrared]

You set the frequency about 50mhz or so below the known max, then click "set clock" and then start the find max process. It's the same on all revisions.

[RejZoR]

No. I left frequencies at stock (stock 3D on 6600GT is 500MHz) but ATiTool started OC'ing at 300MHz (the 2D clock). So it took long to even reach 500MHz (300 to 500). After it reached stock, then it even started overclocking it. This process could be shorter for 1/2 of the entire process encoutered in my case.

Second thing i don't understand is why you can't set GPU clock when testing VRAM. I mean when you run 3D app you don't run OC'ed VRAM but not GPU. And since GPU generates more heat it's a better indicator if you test VRAM with overclocked memory that with stock.
So if VRAM fails to OC higher because GPU overheats the heatsink or PCB, thats also another factor to be involved in artifact detection. But ATiTool always tests memory at stock GPU speed. Not really the most realistic way to test...

[W1zzard]

because if you test frequencies both at the same time you dont know which causes the artifacts.

[KennyT772]

well w1zz i went back to .24 cuz on the .25s something different is broken on each one. on b14 i cant get the temp graph to show up and it looks like atitiool is reading that my card doesnt have temp in some parts but on others it does. idk its weird.

[MURc]

Hi! to all specaly to the ATItool maker!

I use ATT mainly for monitoring the teperature satate of myX1900XT and this tool do the job just right , however is there any posibilty to enable D3D TRIPLEBUFFERING always on ?

[atomicpineapple]

Hey W1zzard, I booted PC up this morning to find ATI tool looking like this, running with a Sapphire X1900XT.

[Gnerma]

W1zzard, thanks for all the hard work on atitool and for this new beta. I've been testing out the new artifact scanning code on my X1600 pro (yes I changed cards again, sorry) and so far it hasn't been working too well on my setup. Testing through other means I've determined that maximum stable and artifact free core speeds on this card are between 660 - 670. I've been running it at 666 and it has done ok

Anyhow, at first I let it run from the cards stock speed of 500, VPU Recover fired at 683. So I did some quick tests. The card ended up locking up and either VPU Recover kicking in or the system crashing at 688.5 four times in a row. No artifacts were detected prior to lockup any of these times. During these runs I started find max core at 640 after heating up the card to its full heat (~51C).

I also tried setting the card to 685 and just running scan for artifacts. When I did this VPU Recover fired after about 12 minutes.

To be sure that this wasn't just some funkiness with my system I also ran 3dmark06 at 685 and it froze halfway through firefly forest (after a nice artifact show).

Well, you can't test them together simultaniously. You test GPU first and then memory. I always do like that. So when GPU reaches maximum without artifacts you move on memory. So if you get artifacts this time it's memory. I'm not sure where i saw that option (probably in ATi Tray tools when i still had Radeon). You could set start off point on your own and then program started OC'ing from there. For example if i know 550 works ok i wouldn't bother waiting the app to work over those 50MHz...
