Hello,

Can Someone explain me how to switch to 3D mode all the time? I have a 5850!

Thank you!!
 
I think 3d mode is for games. 2d is for desktop and other than gaming. Correct me if Im wrong guys!
 
Yes but I want 3D mode all the time to fix my flickering problems on my 2nd screen.

ah, that crap.

Only solution to do that i know of, is to BIOS mod the card. its somewhat risky, and raises the power use of the card a fair bit at idle.
 
isnt the problem just core speeds are to slow to drive a second monitor?
if so couldnt he just run msi afterburner and make some profiles?

no, its a driver bug.

memory speed changes from 2D to 3D, causes flickering on second monitor.


4870's had this as well, which is why their memory speeds didnt change between power states (and thus why they had high idle power use)
 
well at any rate it sounds like forcing a certain memory clock would the fix the problem no?

yes. but i'm not sure what methods work and what dont - as he needs to modify ram clocks at 2D, not 3D (and preferably only ram, not the whole card - otherwise it'd waste a ton of power)
 
yes I tried to configure my 2D and 3D profiles on msi afterburner but it doesn't work, my 2D fequencies stay onn 400Mhz. Maybe I don't know how to configure it...

I tried to change my profile value on the XML of CCC too but no success...

that is how mine looks if i was forcing the lowest clocks possible. I think you need to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\MSI Afterburner and open MSIafterburner config file and change
EnableUnofficialOverclocking = 0 to 1 for the clocks to stick.
 
Thank you so much for your screen. I found my solve with AMD GPU Clock that I lunch on windows start.

I hope they will fix this bug on the next driver.
