W7 vs ATI 5*** - artifacts/hang/random crashes/ATIKMDAG stopped responding - Overlord - 03-05-2010 Hi My computer got totally crazy after installing an official ATI driver "FIX"... Below is a soulution I found that (seems to) work for at XFX 5750, I suppose it's "generic" (nVidia owners should try a similar approach). The interesting part is it looks like ATI GFX driver is too "underclocked" for W7's taste in 2D/ idle mode. Basic idea is to rise GPU clock at those conditions. My card tossed around at 157 MHZ idle/desktop on standard driver, rised GPU to 400/ memory 800 and Viola!

Of course you can fiddle around with values for your own likings, this is just what worked for me. (Guess I don't need to reminde you all about the own risk and likes bullshit) Happy tuning 8) Re: W7 vs ATI 5*** - artifacts/hang/random crashes/ATIKMDAG stopped responding - Variable - 03-05-2010 I don't know about the solution you posted but I had a random crashes problem and it was solved simply by turning off Hyper Threading option in my BIOS. Did you try that? (My PC specs can be found somewhere in the forum) Re: W7 vs ATI 5*** - artifacts/hang/random crashes/ATIKMDAG stopped responding - Overlord - 03-06-2010 AMD don't use cheap solution as HT ;D No, this is only related to some gfx error messages and gray screen/artifacts when gfx card is running idle (or close to it) |
