ATiTool not detecting errors I can see on screen

Knuckle · Jan 12, 2008

So I'm overclocking my video card, and I was busy OCing the memory, and when I did that and ran ATiTool, it did not recognise the errors my video card made. I saw yellow dots popping up all over the 3D screen, but it never reported an error :/

How can I trust ATiTool to properly test an OC if it doesn't report any clearly visual errors?

well first, we need to know your system specs.. and what you where running.. .26 or .27 beta?

Knuckle · Jan 12, 2008

.27 beta 3, so it could be in the beta part.

As for system specs:

Asus P5K motherboard
Intel E6750 @ 3.33 GHz
2GB OCZ Ram (don't exactly know the type, it's running at 415 MHz, 5-5-5-15)
XFX 8800 GTS 320 MB @ Core:654, mem: 1065 (didn't see any errors at 1070, but went down for safety)
Onboard sound (ordered a Creative XtremeMusic today)
Thermaltake BigTyp 120 CPU cooler
Corsair HX520W PSU

Hope that satisfies you

try this its another tool that works, and some like it over ati tool... I've never used it but some do...

Knuckle · Jan 12, 2008

I'm using that to set clock speeds and fans and such, but I can't find where to test using that. In tutorials/guides/whatever for that program there seems to be a test button I cannot find, even when on the same screen as in the pics in those tutorials.

Bump, I'm still having this prob, and it's really annoying, as I want to run the tool for a long period of time while doing something else, and when I come back, I want to know if my video card failed or not.

there is a setting to use "old method - more compatible" which has helped me with a problem like this once.

I have similar problem. 8800GT. Ati tool doesnt report artifacts that are visible on the screen. I have tried 0.26 and 0.27b4. I have moved the artifact detection slider to the left (most sensible it should be) - but ati tool still doesnt report artifacts that I clearly see.
There is something wrong with "old method - more compatible". When i check it. There are visually no artefacts (and i am sure there must be some, because of hellish clocking). Without check on old method i see them clearly but ati tool say no artifacts.

If you see yellow dots, they are called artifacts and you are oc'd too high. Think of the yellow dot as a "warning".
