x800xl -- No Overdrive?

[Mullzy]

So either I'm very blind or very tired... but I can't for the life of me find the Overdrive settings for my new x800xl. I'm not interested in overclocking right now, I just want to get a feel for temperatures.

I'm using Catalyst 5.7 and the Overdrive lock/unlock is just not there. I've never had a card that supported it though so I'm not sure if I'm looking in the right place.

What gives?

Thanks!

do you have the control panel or control center?

 

[Dman877]

I thought only XT cards had overdrive...

 

[VIAN]

I have a X800 Pro and it has it.

 

[Mullzy]

I have the Control Center ... the .NET one.

Did you disable any of ATI's startup processes or anything? I don't remember which, but disabling one of them (either in msconfig or in services.msc) causes the overdrive menu to disappear.

In the catalyst control center click on view upper left hand corner click on the tab a drop down list shoud appear click on custom view or advanced view should be in there if you are running the latest version of the control center

 

[Mullzy]

Nothing is disabled in the startup. The option under Advanced/Custom View is just not there for any Overdrive settings.

If you want to overclock and dont have the option of overdrive use atitool or powerstrip to overclock the card

found this http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/print/radeon-x800xl.html guess they had the same problem

I have an ATI AIW x800 XT AGP and no overdrive has appeard on my menu either...
im using the Catalyst version 5.8 and still i cant find it either using the CCC or CP

You can see temps on your x800xl? I can't on any temperature program I've used, can someone clue me in?

 

[ROcHE]

Use Atitools or Ati tray tool to get temperatures.

 

[BFG10K]

Riva Tuner can do it too.

 

[hans030390]

ATItool is better anyways because it can find the best clocks for your card (very good at finding artifacts).

I just downloaded ATITool and I still can't find temp. Where can I see the temp. of my ATI X800XL? Thanks

Me neither, and I've had ATiTool for months to overclock my card. I didn't find thatt using ATi TrayTool showed a GPU temp though.

 

[exar333]

get ATI tool...

 

[almach1]

i was looking for this overdrive also. Guess us with x800xl are SOL!

 

[mindgam3]

Overdrive sucks anyways.. Use atitools but you must set the option or else it will not show gpu temp.

you gotto activate the setting in ATITool. gotto settings when you open ATITool and from the drop-down menu select temperature monitoring. check the box "Measure card temperature". there your all set!

Overdrive is silly, gives me 6mhz on clock speeds!
