Got a VisionTek X1950 pro. I thought ATI's software can do those things but it can't. What kind of software are you guys using? Thanks.
 
Yes, but they are the most widely used, and quite good. Not sure if AtiTool works with Vista though.
 
where did you guys download them? Thanks.

p.s.: does Rivatuner support ATI X1950 series or it's mainly for Nvidia cards?

p.p.s: what is the latest atitool version?
 
Guru3d is the best site to grab them. Riva works with both ATI and Nvidia - AtiTool is best used for artifact testing (in my opinion) for which it works with both ATI and NVIDIA cards. Not sure if Ati Tool can overclock NV cards or not, I just use Riva.
 
along these lines: how long should one run the ati took artifact finder before assuming it's a stable GPU overclock?
 
Depends how stable you want it to be. Some guys will tell you that anything less than 24 hours isn't stable, but I'd say that's serious overkill. Any problems you will run into in games will show up in artifact tester within an hour or so - if it is good for that long it is probably stable enough. Just be sure that you run it long enough to get your temps stabilized.
 
Just installed RivaTuner2.06. But it doesn't report GPU temperature at all. Did I miss anything?

On the line where it tells you what card you have there is a little triangle off to the right - click it and a menu opens up - select hardware monitoring and it'll bring up a monitoring window.

It does bring up a hardware monitoring window but it doesn't have temperature info???
 
Just a waring, both require running vista64 in the drivers signage mode off, ATi tools sucks in vista64 tho, it tends to hang and crash, it takes about 4 trys for me to get it open then it usually just crashes out in a few seconds. I am waiting for them to make a 64bit version, some day.

Rivatuner works fine tho but it does need updates for modern hardware, the gpu/mem speed graphs dont scale high enough for a stock clocked 8800gt...
