here is my rig:
E6300 overclocked to 3.15GHz
x850 XT PE (no overclock)
Gigabyte ds3 motherboard

here is the problem:
whenever I launch Easytool 5 and Serious Sam II game at the same time, the game would run slow to almost freezing. if I kill Easytool 5 and run the game only, then it works just fine.

why would Easytool 5 cause this confict? Easytool 5 is not graphic intensive.
anyone experience this issue with Easytool 5?
is this video card defective? should I return it?
 
You know what I think when you're easy tune 5 is reading temps, volts etc from the chipset it's interfering with your system when your system is stressed...

turn off easy tune 5... Problem solved.
 
yeah look.

could be any number of things. but the general sitiation is Easy tune is poking around in your system, maybe its messing with your agp/pci-e lane info, maybe its messing with fsb info, maybe finding clocks, who knows. but whatever it is your X850 doesnt like it.

so the simple answer is turn easy tune off...

i have it, and it is a crap utillity. bios is safer, plus you get the added advantage of actually saying "i went into bios!".

bios/ATI tool = good combo.
 
EasyTool? Overclocking shouldn't be easy, that is just wrong! :D

I suggest lose EasyTool, it seems to be the obvious culprit to your problems.
 
I am not worry about not using easytool, I am not using easytool to overclock. I am more worried about my new 850xt PE card. I want to make sure it is working and not defective.

well, I ran 3D mark 05 (Trial version) and the score is: 6948 3Dmarks. what does this mean? I turned off all temp monitor program and return 3Dmark and got score of 7153 3Dmarks.

also, when the 3Dmark05 ran the second set, it is really slow like 6FPS. this is normal?
