Compatibility mode to Vista worked, thanks for that solution, atleast for now =)
Any support for Caspian Processor and Mobility Radeon 4200?
Thanks

Finally got around to fixing a few bugs like the half multiplier bug in 3.50RC6.
The ATI GPU monitoring code is now optional since it seemed to be causing too many problems for too many users. It's always worked fine for me.
Here's how my Sapphire Vapor-X 5770 card looks.

You will need to add GPU=2 to the RealTemp.ini file to see if this code works for your ATI GPU. The default is GPU=1 for Nvidia cards. GPU=0 can be set if you don't have either type of card or if this code causes any problems.
GPU=3 can be used if you have one of each type of card such as if you are using an ATI card plus an Nvidia card for Physx. Click on the GPU button twice to see if it can read both of your cards.
I don't yet have access to a second ATI GPU so CrossFire support is still in the future.
I just updated Windows 7 x64 with all of the latest and greatest recommended patches from Microsoft but I haven't been able to duplicate any crashes that users have reported. I'm hoping that separating the ATI code might help isolate some of these issues. Thanks randomizer for finding a quick work around to this issue.
I haven't tried installing this optional update yet. It looked dangerous. :)

Sorry jcmarfilph, there's no planned AMD support.
It appears as though that's the first one Windows installed for me (in October). So it can't be related, since the issue only started recently. I'll have to look at other updates to see if they may be involved.
If you're having crashes, I recommend updating. It fixed the problem I was having, even though I didn't have it initially.
I have a 4670 or two 4890's for short term loan if that would help you out. Lemme know and I'll take a drive out there.Quote:

Ol'Baditude: Thanks for the offer. I'll send you a PM to discuss further.
Added the line and these are my results:
GPU1: 48
GPU2: 48 -don't know why RT sees that as GPU3.
Which is not correct. One of my GPU's is hotter and Afterburner shows the correct temp as 51. Bottom right corner.
If you click on that GPU3 what do you see?
Those two temps of 48 degrees are minimum and maximum, not gpu1 and gpu2. Click bottom right button which says gpu3 (same as RT) and you'll see other gpu's temp.Quote:

Thanks Wishmaker. I think part of the problem is that RealTemp is trying to be too friendly. With two GPUs at the Desktop, the ATI driver tries to put one of the two cores to sleep to reduce power consumption. The driver blocks RealTemp from reading the core temperature of each core when this happens. Originally I didn't want to keep waking a sleeping core up to sample its temperature since I thought that was kind of pointless and would defeat ATI's power saving mode.
I might try to come up with a user option to do this for those that want to see the temperature of each core in 2D mode and don't give a crap about saving a couple of watts. I'll see what I can figure out this week.
If you have the time can you go and play a 3D game that uses CrossFire and then go back to the desktop and see what RealTemp says for both GPU cores. Maybe reduce the Read Sensor Interval down to 1 so it will have a better chance of reading the maximum temperature correctly. It would be interesting to see how that compares to Afterburner.

After a few minutes of Mass Effect 2 (everything on max, 1600x1050+ forced max AA in Catalyst Control Center), best game out there if I do say so myself :)
http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...lTemp/th_2.jpg
I think it reads the same sensor on both GPUs. It does not differentiate between the two. I always have a hotter one because it is a bit choked :). As you can see, one of them is dead accurate. We will let that 1 degree delta slip because it can be the margin of error but the second registers the same :(.
P.S: I am using Catalyst 10.2 which on my setup does not shutdown the second graphics card. I hate that feature because it locks the fan at 19% and the temps go up to 70 degrees idle. So I avoid drivers that have that feature. Both cards are using the same power at idle there is not uber crossfire power saving mode. Both downclock to 240 ;)
You've motivated me to look into this issue some more. I must be doing something wrong.
Maybe my local store has one more Vapor-X 5770 card in stock. Don't tell my wife. :D
My lips are sealed. Tell her a friend gave it to you ;). This seems to be the most common excuse when it comes to buying stuff behind 'her' back :rofl:.Quote:

I don't feel so bad now. A friend lent me his 5770, ;) and when in Crossfire mode, Catalyst Control Center doesn't report anything for MHz or temperature for the second card. The first card is reported fine.
RealTemp uses the CCC libraries to get temperature information so I'll see if I can find a way to get data from both GPUs even when one core is having a snooze. CrossFire support is a work in progress.

Catalyst 10.2
I think different catalyst versions play different tricks with different GPUs. At least with some hardware to play with I might be able to figure this out.
I'll keep my eyes open for a registry fix.
Cool! GPU support works for my Sapphire Radeon HD 4850x2 card now... albeit just for the first GPU on the card, but that's great! Using Catalyst 10.2 on Win7 x64 by the way.
Uncle,
I found the fix on the guru3d forums. See if this works ...

This version has improved ATI CrossFire support. I added a few more details like Clock and Memory speed, etc.
On my 5770 cards it's able to read the temperatures and details for each individual card.
If you have an ATI card or cards then you can try this new code by adding this to the RealTemp.ini configuration file.
GPU=2
I haven't heard back from any testers yet so give it a try and let me know if it works on your system or if you have any problems.
Wishmaker: Thanks for that tip. I found the easiest thing to do was to search through the Registry for EnableUlps and I changed each value to 0 to disable or to 1 to enable this feature and then did a reboot after that.
http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/9752/enableulps.png
RealTemp respects whatever setting you choose. If you don't like having access to the GPU 2 data blocked by the driver then set EnableUlps to 0 to get rid of that power saving mode. With a Kill-a-Watt meter I measured a savings at idle of 3 or 4 watts so it doesn't make a huge difference.
When both GPUs are reporting temperature data, RealTemp should display the highest current GPU temperature on the main screen and in the system tray.
If you don't have access to both GPUs then I found just starting Furmark was enough for the second GPU to wake up. You don't need to click on the GO button and start Furmark rendering, just having the GUI visible or minimized is enough to keep the second GPU awake for testing purposes. When EnableUlps is enabled, about 30 seconds after you close Furmark, if nothing else is using GPU 2 then it will stop reporting temperature and MHz data.
You the man uncle ;).

Where do I send the beer? :up::up:
P.S: Finally the thumbnail option works on XS. For some reason I could not hotlink pics like this :(.
P.P.S: You won't have optimum CFX performance uncle :(. Your second card is hooked in a x4 slot not a x8/x16 :(.
That's great news. Thanks for the feedback.
I was hoping no one would notice that. I'm using an antique board with the P965 chipset. It overclocks Core 2 Duo CPUs like a beast but its CrossFire support is crap. All you get is x16/x4 which obviously doesn't let you take full advantage of CrossFire.Quote:
Your second card is hooked in a x4 slot not a x8/x16. :(
What do I need now? An X58 board so I can go x16/x16? I haven't explained either 5770 card yet so I think I better wait a bit before the next round of upgrades. I still have to beat my wife to the mail box so I can get the X25-M that's on its way. It's nice and quiet. She'll never know once that's hiding inside the case. :D
