Default Interesting problem x1950xt

So I'm trying to overclock my x1950xt again to see what kind of benches I can pull off with the new rig. I downloaded the newest ATI drivers, installed ATITool, opened ATITool, and my clocks were set at 500/594, which I had assumed were the 2d clocks. I read something somewhere about an ATI Hot Key Poller and a message for when you first start ATITool, but I never got it. And it will only show my 2d clocks. Plus, theres no voltage control display on the program (AtiTool 0.26) I have no clue what could be wrong. I even tried reverting back to 7.2 drivers, with no luck... Any help would be appreciated.

BTW, I also tried going into a game and checking the speeds during, and it was still 500/594.

If anyone can point me into the right direction, please do. Ive already read Chozart's FAQ and everything, and am having no luck.

Crap: Mods, please delete my other thread, I posted it in the wrong section earlier and completely forgot about it. Its also dealing with x1950. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I would use Rivatuner and drop Atitool.

That has always been buggy. You can have Rivatuner show you the speeds, temp, etc. on the corner of your screen while you game... search around.

I tried Riva Tuner with no luck either. Even tried to force 3d clocks and it would only let me edit the low-level driver settings...

Not entirely sure what your asking, about the scaling of 2d clocks? How are you checking, using a log file or, just alt + tab out of game and look at ATItool? If that's the case as soon as you hit desktop, they revert back to 2d clocks

Open CCC overdrive and look at the clock readings.

Open ATI Tool and open the cube. The CCC readings should jump up from 2d to 3d when the cube starts running.

If it doesn't, then someone messed around with the BIOS (if you bought a used card)

Don't rely on ATI Tool to tell you the clocks.
