Title: restoring 5970 to factory default settings (BAMT) Post by: altid on March 12, 2013, 12:24:16 PM Hey guys i've got a question on restoring my 5970 cards to factory settings so i can flog them on eBay. The cards were running with altered gpu/memory and voltage frequencies until i pulled my rig apart and they have sat idle for several months. I have put the rig back together and i believe that these settings would still be stored in the BIOS of the cards.
In the AMDOverdriveCtrl application i have found where i can adjust these values again, however it is asking me for three sets of values, one for each Low, Mid and High levels. Is this the right settings i should be adjusting? Any help would be greatly appreciated Title: Re: restoring 5970 to factory default settings (BAMT) Post by: Gator-hex on March 13, 2013, 08:02:16 PM I think the values are stored in a Linux boot script and not on the card.
My evidence for this is that I've underclocked so much that Linux failed to start after rebooting. I recovered the situation by re-burning the OS back onto the memory stick and this reset the values.
