HD3850 Core Clock

[Aaron909]

I have a feeling my core clock on my graphic card is set wrong. It says it's at 300 but I see it on newegg as 668, could someone please tell me how i could change it back or if it's even wrong. Thankyou so much

Thats the 2d clock it will bump up to 668 once a 3d app is ran..

Yeah, when you're in your desktop, it lowers the clock speed in order to save power

Thanks for the help! Got it

How do you like the card ?

Mine does the same but when I game I let rivatuner record the core speed and indeed it does ramp up. I would like to be able to disable this "Powerplay" feature. Does anyone know how?

Very impressed with the card, running Call of Duty 4 at max settings with 5.1 surround sound, I love it!

Riva Tuner has been doing just that to me. I want an overclocking utility that will allow Powerplay to set the reduced 2D clocks then run my overclocked profile in 3D. God I miss Ati Tray Tools.

For now Riva Tuner has been "locking my clocks" at 668, 828 no matter what. We need support!
