Title: ATI Overdrive on Linux for 5850 and 5970? Post by: Mahkul on February 14, 2011, 01:57:01 PM Anyone knows how to overclock these on Linux? I have ATI Catalyst on Ubuntu, but it's missing the overdrive section that windoze has...
Title: Re: ATI Overdrive on Linux for 5850 and 5970? Post by: Raulo on February 14, 2011, 02:55:47 PM Anyone knows how to overclock these on Linux? I have ATI Catalyst on Ubuntu, but it's missing the overdrive section that windoze has... First, Code: aticonfig --od-enable Then Code: aticonfig --od-setclocks=coreclock,memclock --adapter=num where num is 0,1,2,... or "all". Commit is for setting it permanently (it will clock at this value after restart) Code: aticonfig --odcc --adapter=all This command checks the clock Code: aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all And this one temperature: Code: aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all The list of these commands is avalable by Code: aticonfig --help To set the fan at 70% Code: aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 70" If you have multicard display, you need to set export DISPLAY=:0.num, where num is GPU num before submiiting the set fanspeed command.

Post by: gusti on February 14, 2011, 03:48:43 PM Can you please share your best OC settings, when you find them ?
Title: Re: ATI Overdrive on Linux for 5850 and 5970? Post by: tcatm on February 14, 2011, 03:58:58 PM Best OC settings vary greatly. For 5970 it is usually around 800 MHz.
Title: Re: ATI Overdrive on Linux for 5850 and 5970? Post by: racerx on February 16, 2011, 05:00:30 PM I have an HD6950 with extra shaders unlocked (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3475.0).
odgc shows a max peak range of 840.. is there any way to push this up more? Code: root@fry:~# aticonfig --odgc I set it to 840 Code: root@fry:~# aticonfig --odsc=840,1250 and get an extra 10,000khash/s but I'm curious how to push it outside this range. Seems possible in windows. Also, does anyone know how to set fanspeed back to auto? Code: aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 auto" Title: Re: ATI Overdrive on Linux for 5850 and 5970? Post by: Mahkul on February 16, 2011, 05:06:51 PM Guys, any idea what's the maximum temperature value that's "safe" for 5970?
Title: Re: ATI Overdrive on Linux for 5850 and 5970? Post by: Cryptoman on February 16, 2011, 06:56:26 PM Mahkul, whose 5850 card are you running and which bios? I have a Diamond 5850PE51G that won't let me go above 775 MHz using aticonfig. I tried several overclocking bioses including MSI and ASUS, but Linux won't boot with them in.

I have a Diamond 5850PE51G that won't let me go above 775 MHz using aticonfig. I tried several overclocking bioses including MSI and ASUS, but Linux won't boot with them in. They are Sapphire. As for the Bios version I will check that for you tomorrow; the clock... I think I was able to go up to 900MHz, but will let you know for definite tomorrow. As for the 5970 it is a Sapphire as well and I was able to overclock it to 1010MHz (GPU core clock!). I must get some better cooling solution, because the temperature goes too high on them at that frequency, so I have to run them at 800MHz for now (getting 306Mhash/s each core). Title: Re: ATI Overdrive on Linux for 5850 and 5970? Post by: Mahkul on February 16, 2011, 10:22:41 PM My very professional cooling solution for the 5970: :D

don't really bother about the clockspeed, but i'd like to lower the memclock a bit, if possible. Code: noodles@ubuntu:~$ aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all Title: Re: ATI Overdrive on Linux for 5850 and 5970?

Commit is for setting it permanently (it will clock at this value after restart) Code: aticonfig --odcc --adapter=all so if you want the GPU at 900MHz and the memory at 950 on all adapters, you'd do Code: aticonfig --od-setclocks=900,950 --adapter=all Title: Re: ATI Overdrive on Linux for 5850 and 5970? Post by: FooDSt4mP on February 24, 2011, 06:50:01 PM Sorry, I didn't look closely... it appears your memory isn't underclockable with your current bios. Someone else might know how to set it to something outside of the range, but I don't.
Title: Re: ATI Overdrive on Linux for 5850 and 5970? Post by: BitLex on February 24, 2011, 07:02:20 PM well, it is "underclockable" on windows,
had it running at 800-900MHz the last week. now i finally got ubuntu setup and running, just with some more degrees on the cards cuz of the higher memclock, which...well, kinda sucks. :D Title: Re: ATI Overdrive on Linux for 5850 and 5970?

AMDOverdriveCtrl tool do not allow to set it higher 1.05V I believe what moa tried to say was that you have to use the Radeon BIOS Editor (under Windows) and flash them.Title: Re: ATI Overdrive on Linux for 5850 and 5970? Post by: hippich on March 05, 2011, 06:54:19 PM actually, i found you can use RBE tool under wine and create usb boot disk with freedos to use dos atiflash tool. no windows required.

I have an HD6950 with extra shaders unlocked (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3475.0). [...] Also, does anyone know how to set fanspeed back to auto? Code: aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 auto" I am running a 5850 Saphhire and have the same problem, how can it switch the fan off? This can never be a good idea, is this maybe some bug?? I only noticed it because my gpu temp went to 95 Celsius and i quickly set the fans manual again... So if anyone has an idea how to get the automatic setting back that would be nice. Title: Re: ATI Overdrive on Linux for 5850 and 5970? Post by: nomnomnom on June 05, 2011, 08:21:15 AM Ok found it out, I don't know why aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 auto" wasn't working.
But opening AMDOverdriveCtrl and then clicking default on the Fanspeed Tab made it go back to automatic fanspeed :) |
