edited June 2003 in Hardware
I got a 5200ultra and when I try to overclock it in riva tuner im not able to move the sliders. Has this happend to any one and how can i fix this?

never mind I fixed it I downloaded some update's and it worked.
is it normal to have the core run at 55C.

thats 55C idle iv seen it go up to 80+C.

    Let me know how that goes I got a 9000Pro in my other system. It is getting an upgrade here soon to a 9600Pro though. Always looking to get a few extra Mhz out of it....

    Though the performance of my 9700 AIW is great, I've had a few driver quirks (mouse missing in certain apps, stuttering 2D, random crashes when watch cable TV) that I rarely experienced with nvidia cards... ATI still has a ways to go in developing 100% functional drivers... but I'll take the occassional bug over less performance anyday.

    Whatever ones are listed for the 9700 AIW on ati's site (you have to download a total of 3 components and follow specific instructions to install them properly).

    I picked the username for the times people say "I agree with stoopid" :p

    Very good, I like the name. As long as you are sure that they are the new 3.4's then you should be good. It may sound like a stupid (no pun intended) question but do you have any other video drivers installed other than the CATs??? Sometime you never know...

    This by a third party manufacturer or from ATI themselves??

    I just looked at ATI's site and it didn't say anything about a 9600Pro Ultra so i'm just thinking it just be a third party card that is clocked a bit higher than the standard Pro.

    when you get the 9600 pro tell me what you max overclock is.
  • EnisadaEnisada Edmonton Member
    edited June 2003
    I will do that but I here that overall the 9500Pro is a better card. And with your core so high you don't even have to worry. None the less I will let you know how it goes...
  • MattMatt

    well at stock speeds the 9500pro is a better card but when your card is overclocked it will be equal are a little better. not to many people get a good 9500 what will do 400core

    it would be cool to say ya my ATI video card its at 550/360

    I suppose but your 9500Pro will still beat it in most benches...

    It is actually a cut down core whereas 9500 wasnt cut down. The 9500 should be better.

    ATi really need to re-do their naming scheme, they are confusing the crap out of most people, and if it continues people may even start complaining or buying competitors products just because they cant work out what the hell to expect from and ATi card. Though the same is true with nVidia, but at least you know anything with MX on the end is crap.

    Bring back the old Voodoo naming scheme I say, that was strightforward :p

    Hey, there is nothing wrong with the Voodoo cards (other than the V3's didnt do 32bit and the V5's needed a PC the length of a strech limo...) as I said, NOTHING wrong with the Voodoo cards. Still got a V3 chugging away downstairs, going to put it in my Amiga when the other PC gets upgraded.
