Can't OC after upgrading Catalyst!

My first driver or my MSI 4830 OC was from it's CD.
It was 8.10 I think... I OCed it till 730/1140 and got it stable.
Then I upgraded my Catalyst and I can't OC anymore!


I knew already that overdrive won't work but even with
RivaTuner it doesn't!
When I apply my clocks, in GPU-Z's frist page it changes
but in Sensor tab it is still 585 / 900 (default clocks).
Same with RivaTuner's hardware monitor.

Do I just have to re install my old Catalyst??

Did you try to go to MSI's page and get THEIR drivers?

I think you're talking about the power saving feature. It's in 2D mode right now.

You need to stress the video card and see if it applies the settings for 3D mode, so turn on a game or [email protected] (Something that makes your video card work hard) and your clocks should apply and you'll get your real ones..

tl;dr: Stress the video card and see if your clocks change.

down grade to an older version and see if that works

Stressing it doesn't help!

In low-level hardware overclock thing, there is no 2D, 3D, Throttle,
I used to have that in normal OC with Nvidia

And as for re installing older version, I'll give it a try soon

if riva doesn't work with newer drivers it might not be supported with that version,get the latest riva tuner and see if that helps.
Same card, same problem with the newest Catalyst drivers. Drivers from the CD are working. Have to try 8.11 but they should work too.
Have you ever tried Ati Tray Tool?
I think it's great except it doesn't work seem to work on
any of my drivers if I remember correctly
?

Ey, I have the same prob as you. I see you probably updated from 8.10 (CD driver) to 9.2, am I right? Well 9.2 won't let us OC, either in CCC or rivatuner, and it sucks. But I don't think 9.2 has any major fixes/upgrade so it's alright.

Just revert back one step to 9.1 (I'm currently using right now) and use rivatuner 2.23 or 2.24. You should be fine in OCing again

Ohh I just noticed it today,
I just downgraded back to 8.10 and rivatuner works

I googled catalyst 9.1 but can't seem to find it.
Do you know where I can dl it from?
