Sapphire Trixx wont load OC settings on startup.

[futurefields]

Is my card not getting enough watts from the power supply?

 

[futurefields]

Reinstalled Trixx, I think it's working now ffs....

 

[futurefields]

Overclocks been holding for 15 minutes now.... wish me luck!

 

[futurefields]

.... And now its going back to default when I restart again.

Guys... can anybody help me out there? Seriously...I need to know if this card is bad or not within 30 days of purchase.

Seems what happens is Trixx loads first, loads my overclock, then CCC loads, and resets things back to stock.

Is there any harm in me simply disabling CCC?

If that is the case, just try disabling AMD OverDrive in CCC.
That way you can still create custom game profiles with CCC if need be.

Note: I personally have TRIXX and CCC installed and CCC does not override my TRIXX settings, regardless of whether I have AMD OverDrive enabled or disabled, so its just a suggestion based on the info you posted above about what your system is doing.

Yeah, that's totally it. Disabling CCC at startup has solved the problem. (i hope)

 

[futurefields]

ill let you guys know if its still working tommorow

Try MSI AB?

 

[futurefields]

Well now my card is throttling again, even with CCC disabled

should I return it?

I cant get it to stop throttling no matter what I do. it wont even hold 925mhz with +20 power on Trixx, it still throttles to 850, even though temps are in the 50's

i have it hooked to a Rosewill Capstone 650

What are you doing when it throttles? I had the same exact problem with my 6950's a while back and it turned out it was Internet Explorer causing it, when hardware acceleration was enabled on flash. It would always clock to 850 when a flash player was open, even if it wasn't running. As soon as I shut down IE, it would work as normal. That is when I switched to Firefox.

 

[futurefields]

I'm just running Unigine Heaven and running games and stuff trying to see if it throttles.

I've got it stable overclock now by disabling CCC but that is a harsh workaround that I don't want to keep in place, so I have a support ticket with Sapphire in now. Just gonna wait and see how they respond.

 

[bystander36]

When I had my issue, it was exactly the same. I was running benchmarks, but one thing that I did not think of, was I had a browser open while doing it. Even if it isn't in focus, the browser's hardware acceleration caused it to go into clocks designed for flash video's, rather than the 3D clocks.

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but this is still an issue, and this thread is the No1 listing on Google

The issue is with Catalyst Control Center loading after TRIXX, as it resets your overclock.

The fix is...
1. Set TRIXX to load settings at boot like normal

2. Open Task Scheduler, and disable the entry for TRIXX

3. Open a notepad file and copy in the following

@echo off
title TRIXX
cd /
echo Waiting for Catalyst Control Center
:start
tasklist /fi "imagename eq CCC.exe" | find ":" > nul
if errorlevel 1 (echo Loading Sapphire TRIXX) else (goto start)
timeout /t 10 /nobreak
start "" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sapphire TRIXX\TRIXX.exe" -s
exit

(Note: Adjust this if it does not match where you have installed TRIXX)

4. Save as TRIXX.bat (The drop down box when saving must be changed from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files")

5. Save this file in your Startup folder. (varies depending on windows version, google if unsure)

6. Reboot

Hope this is simple enough for everyone to understand.
