True enough statement. If you can get the information from the drivers rather than playing games with ATI changing things then I'd say go the driver route. I won't claim to know the programming involved but if it means more coding right now but less down the road in fixing the idiotic changes...

Considering how annoying it has been with the repeated issue with reading the clock speeds I would think the fallback idea would be a good one. The question is how much more work would that be? Then again it might save work in having to continually update the software because ATI has changed...

The speeds are correctly read with the new Catalyst 8.10 drivers, as well. :)

If people had read my post and W1zzard's reply which I quoted in it then the answer would be clear. GPU-Z appears to use the drivers to access the information and between versions of drivers ATI is known to switch methods therefore GPU-Z doesn't get the information correctly. W1zzard went on to...

It seems that ATI/AMD likes to play around with the clock reading method in their Catalyst drivers. I posted about a similar issue back with a previous set of Catalyst 8.8 beta drivers in reference to the ATI Radeon HD 4870. When the official Catalyst 8.8 drivers came out the problem was gone...

I found them posted in the Rage3D forums which pointed to the download from MegaUpload. It's a big download (~400 MB RARed) and contains a lot of extra stuff beyond the display driver, etc. You want to do a custom install and leave out what you don't need, of course. The MegaUpload download...

GPU Clock speed incorrectly reported I'm noticing an oddity with my Gigabyte ATI Radeon 4870. I'm using the Catalyst 8.8 beta drivers. I have ATI Overdrive enabled in order to change my fan speeds but I have not overclocked the card. The GPU Clock speed is being read incorrectly. Refer to the...
