Title: Help on configuring ATI video card?
Post by: gochk on July 03, 2011, 04:07:02 AM
Just wondering if anyone can point me towards configuring my ATI 6970 video card? Any documentation with regards to clocking and controlling fan speed and reducing the temperature would be great.

Thanks.

Google msi afterburner (its a very good gpu oc tool) you can change you cards fan speeds vcore clock speeds all that good stuff. that said if you new to overclocking gpu i woudl just stick to the CCC the drivers have a built in control panel that you canchnage fan speed and oc you cards but cant change the vcore, its under  performance - graphics  overdrive and you have to click a bxs that says enable overdrive on that page to unlock the overclocking and fan speed. and there you go whit a 6970 whit out messing whit teh vcore of teh card and if you temps stay below 75C you shold hit 920mhz+ on teh core if you raise teh v you can hit 950+ at about 1.2v if you dont want to risk your card i wouldn't go over 1.25

I can't find MSI Afterburner for Ubuntu. It seems like it's just for Windows system.

Can you please elaborate on the CCC and other abbreviations? Is it just in the MSI Afterburner? If so, do you have any alternative suggestions to do all that for Ubuntu 10.10 system?

Try this software http://sourceforge.net/projects/amdovdrvctrl/ (http://sourceforge.net/projects/amdovdrvctrl/) So far i know it works even with 6990, so you shouldn't have problems using it on ubuntu 10.10. And you can use Catalyst 11.6 and aticonfig. It allows core & memory clocking beyond BIOS limits.
