Just did a fresh install on my benchdisk and installed everything i needed. When i started playing around some i discoverd that no program was able to increase the clocks of my sapphire 3870 :S Ive tried with cat 9.5 and 9.8. Ive tried rivatuner, ati tray tool, amd gpu clock, the gpu clock tool fromtechpowerup. None can help me..

Rivatuner just says the drivers arent supported. Amd gpu clock tool detecs the clocks and all but the second i change mem or gpu clock it changes back to stock.... Ati tray tool thinks my gpu and mem is running at 13.5mhz.... The tool from techpowerup detects everything correctly but when i have the clock nothing happends.. The program says its set to ex 800mhz but it reports the core to be at still 770....

How do i do to get this working ? Every program is working against me :O:down:

Well the great part about this is that i cant. My integreted network card just diedon me yesterday so i cant get frame network to my computer so i cant use CCC. How do i increase the limits in CCC if i get it working?

there is no .net framework on CCC like a year and a half ago they changed to the visual c++ distributable and u dont need to be online to install it.

for changing the max clocks unless u volt mod u will not see more than 865 in CCC and most have that or right before that as the cap

On XP, it still uses the .NET framework. For Vista/7, the driver bundles the VC++ 2005 redistributable.
