Just an FYI for all you control panel lovers out there. The 6.5 beta drivers listed on Guru3d.com includes the option of using the control panel instead of CCC. I tried the CP and it worked fine. Big download though, 60megs...
 
What overclocking settings are in the CP version?

It has the old Overdrive, aka no sliders to adjust. I reverted to CCC because of this...
 
I am still on the 6.3s because I love the "chuck" patch + Oblivion. I wish they would just stick it in the 6.5s.

Yeah i'm not updated the the 6.5's unless they support the HDR+AA patch because Oblivion is the only game i play.
 
Would be sweet if these new drivers don't give me a black screen upon boot like 6.3-6.4.

I don't see why ATI had to add a feature that renders my system useless.

Nope, no Chuck patch. I reinstalled driver twice. No Chuck patch unfortunately...
 
Okay, I'm use to the 5.11 CP, what's overdrive doing in here and what exactly does it do? I see no options on it to OC.

The CP overdrive will auto-overclock a modest amount, but you don't have any control over it other than to turn it on or off.

As for my earlier question about 6.5, CP and Crossfire...nope, no Crossfire with the CP, just tried it.
 
I have a hard time believing that the software engineers at ATI are unable to add overclocking sliders in the CP version of Overdrive.

Would be nice if they could make one driver package that combined the best features of CCC and CP.

I wish ATI would read through the forums and see that their drivers aren't liked by anyone.

Yeah, I went back to using overclocker.exe and ATi Tool. I have an X1800XT so I thought that maybe the Overdrive in CP was unable to do the 2D/3D stuff, or it didn't work because of the fact that I disable that one process. Anyway, the overdrive shows my core frequency, but not all of it? I overclocked it up to stock speeds (from stock 2D speeds) and CP OD recognized that, but when I put it up to PE speeds, OD was only reporting my previous clocks when ATIT and overclocker.exe were tellimg me otherwise.

I have no problem with ATi's drivers. Not a big fan of CCC, but you don't have to use it so it's no big deal.

Sorry to post up a bit unecesseraly, but i really agree with that statement.
If they just listend to what people in the forums want, theyd be excellent.

That's almost true. If you want to use Crossfire, you gotta use CCC, no way around it at this point in time.

Actually, I can't use any of the newer drivers that don't require CCC since they all give me a black screen upon boot.

I'm stuck on 6.2 still.

Also, upon the rare occasion that it actually displays something with new drivers, as soon as I change the refresh rate..........guess who comes back..........Mr. Blank Screen!!!

Yay for drivers that render systems useless.
