v.17 works fine with Cat4.2, I've been using it since v.15 I think- each version gets better- it's a great program.

It does get better with each new revision, but still it runs for me fine a few times, then I start getting
error messages when I boot it up. "Error I/O conflict....could not load program."

I' ve checked and I have no hardware conflicts...just a bug that needs toget fixed.

Otherwise...useful program I think..

I love ATI Tool.........the creator of that program should get a pat on the back and continued support for the program from users of it. Its a job well done and getting better every release.

Yeah I noticed in a revision a few back that when I tried to have it load a 2d clock rate at setup that it didn't work- I haven't tried it since then. I have firewall running and I think it may have conflicted w/ it- but not sure exactly. I hope he gets the bugs worked out- it will be the easiest to use OC tool.

I love the fact that I can OC my card in 2 clicks instead of going though menu after menu- It's perfect.

1st click- open the program

2nd click- load profile

card overclocked, gotta love it.


Rad-clocker

-right click on desktop

-click properties
(I guess you could create a shortcut to display properties and combine these steps, but it's easier to just right click on desktop)

-click settings

-click advanced

-click rad linker

-click advanced
(if you want to change the default clock increment values- I do because I want more accurate control
of the clock rate, smaller increments) and you have to do it every time because you can't save it! Why?

-move slider down to the desired increment

-move core slider

-move memory slider

-click set button

-click OK

-click OK

-THEN you can play your game/ bench


See my point?

...or you could just create a RadLink to your games and the new clock rate will be applied on a per-game basis without having the extra programs running in the background. You probably did not click the "Use Current" button to apply the clock rate change at boot time, which means you will automatically loose your changes when you reboot your computer.

I thinkRadlinker is a nice, professional quality program that i use too. I use ATItool to Find the max clock and mems, and radlinker to apply settings on the per game basis.
