Hi there,
I'm still new to ATi Tool
Great tool that by the way.
Any how i just want to ask if anyone out there could briefly explain what the lock reference divider does apart from the obvious (Fix speed increments). Does it keep the memory and core speeds in sync or somewhere along those lines?
Just today i was doing a test on finding out the best balance between memory and core speeds ( I was using aquamark3 and 3DMark 03).
One thing i noticed was that i couldn't always fix a range of core speeds on to one memory speed [tearing/vectoring (if its the right word) in the window doesn't seem to influence ATiTool's results]. It kept fluctuating till i clicked on the lock reference divider.
Another thing i noticed and this could just be me guessing, the best reference divider ratio is the ratio that was set at the default clock speeds. For me the default reference divider was 18 (1.50 MHz increments).
So yeah, apart from wondering what the lock refernce divider does, i'd also like to point out that the best refernce divider ratio is the one that is found at the default speeds (by the way always unlock the reference divider before hitting the default ratio, the divider ratio at the default speeds may be influenced by a previous ratios)
