What's your method in detecting the GFX's cclk and mclk? Is it by driver’s "cool bits" features or by third party applications?
I was looking at 3rd party applications. For instance, 3DMark03 seems to get quite confused by the clock rates. Looking through the results page, there's no telling what cards report for their cclk and mclk...
Now, I don't have a ton of experience with the FX series cards, and none with overclocking them. The only one I have is a base FX5200 in my fiancee's Dell. It runs solid on the 56.64 drivers, as well. Now, there's no overclock going on there. Didn't even install CoolBits -- to keep the relationship happy, I don't mess with her computer too much.. ;-)
(on possibly switching to ATi)
News to me. I've been using the 4.5 Catalyst drivers for a while and I haven't had any problems
Well, that's reassuring. At least I'd be able to play games. ;-) Do you run any Linux stuff? What do you think of the Linux drivers?
