I'm having a hard time with 3DMark05 and Rivatuner it seems. I set my clocks in RT, and all looks well, my clocks go to where I set them. Then, when I run 05, the gpu/shader clocks go back to BIOS defaults during the tests (mem stays OCed), but clock back up in between tests or when idle. Anybody else have this problem, or know a work around?
 
I had a similar problem with 06 and Vantage where my Core would stay at the overclocked speed, but the memory would reset, also I was using ATI Tool rather than RT.
 
If you are using the newest rivatuner, perhaps try an older version? Just throwing that out there.
 
I think it has something to do with your vmod and the high clocks you're running
while reading up on the vmod I've seen others with the same issue

I tried 2.06-2.09 with the same results.

Really? Anybody resolve the issue? The clocks work fine for me in Vantage and 06. Haven't fully tested in 03 or 01 yet. I was working my way down. lol. I hope I don't have to resort to a million BIOS flashes. lol.
 
Well, I got it sorted. I just flashed the card so all clock states were 900/2268/1053. :roll:
