hd5770 not underclocking in 2d

[Pnr]

I have xfx xxx HD5770 card. As far as i know it should downclock core and memory to reduce temps when no 3d aplication is active. I cant find a way how to enable this without manualy creating profiles in ccc for each mode.

Download the latest RBE and ATi winflash.

Use ATi winflash to make a copy of your current vga bios and open it up using RBE. You can see the various clocking and voltage settings for the different 2D/3D profiles.

If all that looks good, then it may be a driver issue.

do u have affter burner installed or running that can disables powerplay

I dont use any software for gpu ocing and overdrive is disabled also. Did some googling and found that ati2evxx.exe file is responsible for ati powerplay. For some reason with win7 x64 10.7ccc drivers this file(service) is not installed.

I would suggest installing ati tray tools and setting your own 2d and 3d clocks.

thanks @wevsspot. Checked bios and powerplay is configured properly there. Was problem in a program i used for monitoring gpu clocks and temps. Tried gpuz now and it confirmed that powerplay is working.

You're welcome. Glad that you got it sorted.

hmmm.....

yes i have this problem 2 now after updating to 10.7 from 10.4, when i overclock in msi afterburner(1.6.1) to 1000/1400 the 2d clock now goes to 400/1400 instead of 157/400 or 400/900.

guess its on to using RBE....blah so much work now lol

tbone,
when you upgraded the CAT driver, did you also uninstall and then reinstall afterburner?

[tbone8ty]

i was running 1.5 msi afterburner and uninstalled it and reloaded 1.6.1 msi afterburner, however i kept the save info when installing, ill trying completely removing msi afterburner and all saved info. hopefully this will help. thanks ill check back soon

[wevsspot]

The drivers can be sensitive to seemingly small issues like that.

[tbone8ty]

yeah i reinstalled afterburner 1.6.1 and when i apply an OC it defaults to 400/1400...ah well i guess i could try afterburner 1.5 or downgrade back to 10.4 drivers...its not bad i guess ill look into RBE bios editor. was thinking about getting a crossfire setup with 2 5770 so ill have to update the bios anyways to the asus one so maybe ill do it then. thanks wevsspot

im sorry to bring up my thread again but my question is related yet to same thing again.
so my 3d clocks are - 875/1300 that is correct.
my 2d clocks are - 400/1300.
Card is idling at 53c currently and i dont actually like that, cause normally 2d clocks should be ~157gpu 300memory something, that woulda put my card to <40c idle temps. So im still confused why its using that high clocks in 2d. This is RBE screen.


I dont know why its using "clock info 1" for 2d clocks instead of "Clok info 4".
And what does "CPI: Disabled load balancing" actualy means which is responsible for clocks4.

edit:
or maybe it is intended to be 400core 1300memory in 2D on XFX cards. Anyone with hd57xx card can confirm this please for me ?
edit2:
well xfx confirmed that proper clocks are 400/1300 in 2d, guess that will do
