hardware monitoring in riva shows temps? i think im starting to understand , the hard way, you use atitool for the scan for artifacts feature? but overclock with riva? cuz i just tried the find max core, what a mistake, i know that coolbits got it to 500 b4, this thing went to 552 then locked up , i was watching going what the hell? then i found a thread on not to use that,lol, i rebooted , think im ok now as settings are back to default

Oops, that is the wrong pic
Same menu list, just do the first picture. The one that looks like a video card.

i still dont see the temps in riva , maybe im blind, and it seems you can only lower fan speed not make it faster, im not sure why you would wnat to do that ...............what program is the best to test for artifacts after changing card speed??

mmmmmmmmmmmmm something strange is going on, i have core set to 561 and mem set to 1101 in riva, when i click hardware monitoring(which i found is where core temp is listed) it says my memry clock is 1098.68 which is pretty close to 1101, but its saying my core clock is 299.25, which is no where near 561.......................wtf?

You may be raising the 2D clocks, or reading the before speed in the monitor timeline.

im raising the 3d performance, where is the after speed in monitor? in 3d performance its set to 566/1129 , apply at startup is ticked, in low power 3d it reads 500/1129, but i am unable to move sliders at all,apply at startup is greyed out, standard 2d it reads 300/1129, but the slider for core only goes up to 450, and the startup is ticked, when i try to untick it, it asks me a question about restore or something , if i chose no it keeps asking me so i have to chose yes and it rechecks startup .......................so i dont know wtf is going on but in monitor it says my mem is 1134 and my core is 299.............

You have to run a 3D app to get the 3D clocks to come on. That is where I use ATI tool b/c you can have windowed 3D.

It only flips to 3d when you are gaming/benching.
Coolbits may be a bit easier for you to use.

ati tools is telling me this , 2d- 300/564 low 3d-500/564 3d per-566/564 , so the cores are all the same as riva but the mems are all diff, 564 instead of 1129

1. Don't mess with the clocks in ATI Tool.
2. Don't trust the clocks from ATI Tool.
3. Temp reading appears to be fairly accurate from ATI Tool.
4. Only OC from Riva Tuner.
5. Monitor current clocks and temps from Riva's hardware monitor.

i see, you use the window in ati to run a 3d app and watch temp in riva in systray? i dont see a temp reading in ati anywheres
well with 3d window running in ati and riva in systray , its telling me my temp is hovering around 93, is that ok? and what is too high?
