RBE - General information and discussion

[n0tiert]

Which COD do you play? If it is COD4, it can be a drivers issue. I also have that problem when crossfire is activated.

yeeahh it´s COD4 ,

it´s kinda weird ... i checked almost every Rev. of the Catalyst and i also used the driver wich came with the card... same problem..
all rates´s cpr/gpu/fsb are stock ... might be an Hardware prob i think !
i´ll popoff the Accelero and bring the f#@k Card back to the Store and buy a 3870 PCI
and get a new mobo !

my rig:

AMD x2 4200+ so939
2gb MDT@2.5-3-3-8 200MHZ
MSI-7094 Neo2-V Stock & PCI/AGP Lock (SLIC)
Sapphire HD2600 AGP 512MB DDR2

Did you tried to contact ATI about your issue? Did you tried a clean windows installation?

When can we expect RBE v1.11 with lots of new functions ?

v1.11 will be out soon, but the changes will be mostly under the top. It won't offer stunning new features, but some bug fixes, including the fan settings when using look up table mode (the problem with some default values you discovered ). I hope, confusion regarding the device ID of 3650 cards will be a matter of the past from now on. Some more bugfixing will be included as well.
Bugs, that aren't real bugs (e.g. problems with overclocking using overdrive) can't be fixed because these issues are more due to the driver. Among other things.
I got some ideas for additional features, but unfortunately I have little time for coding at the moment (I'm entering the final phase of my studies). And to be honest: I like spending my little free time outside in the sunshine with my girlfriend more than coding at the moment...

Why is the "Fan Settings" button disabled when I load up a bios file?

 

[VuurVOS]

What for graphics card do you have?

 

[HydroIT]

[VuurVOS]

hi guys I realy want to try to oc my card. i have a sapphire hd3850 agp 512mb and running at 720/950 useing CCC I want to go abit higher but am a little unsure of what i exactly set or how high, etc.. Iam wondering if anyone would be willing to modd my stock bios for me so i could flash it. I know that is asking alot but thought ide rather be safe and get bashed or try it myself and be sorry cause i just fubared my $200.00 card lol so if anyone would care to give it a try i would be more than greatful I will post my bios here for you more talented people to take a look at, hope iam not out of line asking this thanx Dragon

i see i cant upload .rar zip files so i will need winzip, so if anyone can help i will get winzip and upload the bios ill wait before i upload to see thanx again

Have you tried ATI Tool?

 

[DTV DRAGON]

yes i have but never had good success with it, also tried rivatuner, it said it had my card oc;ed but never had any increase in benchmarks etc.. in fact they went down! Dragon

 

[dark2099]

The thing about flashing a card higher than what you have gotten to is that no one knows how it will perform. And if something goes wrong with a bad flash, it can be fixed so long as you have a PCI card to use.

 

[DTV DRAGON]

yeah dark2099 i see your point, its not like i can go out and replace it with a new one, maybe i should try atitools once more or be happy with what i have thanx for your sound advice Dragon

 

[dark2099]

What version did you initially try of ATI tool?

 

[DTV DRAGON]

to tell you the truth i cant remember and after the headache with it i just deleted from computer, what version would you suggest i try, cause i will definetly give it another shot, thanx for your help Dragon

 

[dark2099]

I use the latest beta.

[DTV DRAGON]

thanx i will give it a try later tonight, are you useing this for a hd3850 agp or? thanx Dragon

I have 2 HD 3870's. We actually have a nice thread on the 3850 AGP cards where you might be able to get more help.

Thanks, man! Comments like this are my salary. Make me keep motivated.

Figured I would upload this here, got a 4850 today, pulled the BIOS from GPU-Z 0.24, RBE reads some stuff pretty well, not everything. This is from a Visiontek HD 4850. The BIOS file is actually a ZIP, not a renamed BIN file.

Thanks, man. You should also consider uploading the file to the official TechPowerUp VGA database. You can use GPU-Z to easily do that.
Did you already use RBE to over-/underclock your card?

I may be way off, but a conversation earlier with him led me to believe he was looking for support for his card.

IIRC he stated the fan tab is greyed out and he has no options with OC tools to try to fix the fan speeds.

I already figured that fan control is not possible at the moment for 4850 cards. This is due to several changes ATI applied to the new card's fan control mechanism.
But again: Does changing the clock settings actually work?

Sorry I dont have that information for you. I know that he hasnt flashed it at all tho!
