Rivatuner 2.21 Released

[Pontos]

Version 2.21:

Minor bugfixes:

* FOURCC INTZ and RAWZ formats are no longer forcibly disabled on GeForce 6 and newer display adapters when closing the 'Textures' tab in Direct3D tweaks dialog. Please take a note that these formats are required for proper GTA IV functionality, so if you experience problems with missing textures in this game on NVIDIA GeForce 6 and newer display adapters then please try to open the 'Textures' tab and press the 'Defaults' button.
* Fixed 'Restore after suspended mode' option in low-level fan control tab, corrupted in the previous release due to multi-GPU related core changes.

What's new:

* Updated databases for Detonator and ForceWare drivers. Added databases for ForceWare 180.60, 180.70 and 180.84.
* Added Catalyst 8.12 driver family detection.
* Added 'Enable FOURCC INTZ surfaces' and 'Enable FOURCC RAWZ surfaces' options to the 'Textures' tab of the Direct3D tweaks dialog.
* 'Restore after suspended mode' option in low-level fan control tab is multi-GPU oriented now. Now the option affects all display adapters in the system instead of currently selected display adapter only.
* 'Allow separate 2D/3D clock frequency adjustment' option is no longer provided when enabling driver-level hardware overclocking. The option is now hidden to reduce the amount of false bugreports posted by the beginners trying to disable 2D/3D clock frequncy then claiming that the hardware stays at extremely low boot clocks. Power users can still control this option via AllowMaxPerf registry entry.
* Extended list of detectable supported FOURCC formats in 'IDirect3D9 HAL adapter formats' diagnostic report category.

Still has poor monitoring window layout.

Still has poor monitoring window layout.

I use everest to monitor my gpu load on my G15. RT2.20 works for me with the 8.12 so i see no reason to upgrade.

if i OC 4870X2 in vista with 2.20
the OC will bomb out and reset clocks/fans back to default when it finishes CPU test#1

i get the same with hd3850 (single) in vista, i have to disable overdrive in ccc for rivatuner to not cancel the oc (overdrive takes control and it resets the oc when in 2d mode)

i have to find overdrive in settings and try disabling

by default it's not enabled unless you enabled it in the CCC.

no i havent enabled it at all

it's always been enabled for me i have to click on the 'unlock button' and then un-tick the checkbox so it's disabled

launch ccc and it's there in the bottom of the 'graphics settings on the right (advanced view)

[safan80]

might be a bug in the driver for vantage then. Does it hold the clocks when you run other 3d apps?

it's always been enabled for me i have to click on the 'unlock button' and then un-tick the checkbox so it's disabled

weird. after I install RT and overclock it's disabled for me. Are you hitting the defaults button in RT? I manually set my clocks when switching between games and the desktop. I have RT set my clocks to 375/450 at boot up so powerplay doesn't mess things up.

[hoodlikegaza]

thanks, I just installed 2.20 last week. lol

i use manual oc with RT when gaming (or 3dmark). if i don't disable Overdrive prior to that, rt will hold the clocks until the card gets to 2d mode (exit game for example), when it sets it back to bios defaults.
if i disable overdrive rt will hold the oc even in 2d mode.

this happens with hd3850 and windows server 2008 standard x64 to be exact.

haven't used xp in sooo long. RT working great under vista though. Why are you still using XP on your desktop rig?
