Barely Clocked: Barebone Command Line Clock Speed/Voltage Tweaking

[lvlrdka22]

Warning: I do not take any responsibilities for any and all damages caused by running this program, including turning GPUs into paper weights.

Current version: http://www.mediafire.com/?p8dxf28j9qnorza

Run it from command line:

Code:

1. CD to wherever the program is located in.
2. Type "barelyclocked" to see current GPU information.
3. Type "barelyclocked gpu=? core=? memory=? vddc=? fan=?" to set the clocks for specific GPUs. Here, "gpu=?" refers to the number that's displayed for each GPU from line 2, not the device number. Fan speed is in percent, not RPM.
4. To reset (the core, memory, VDDC, and fan speed), type "barelyclocked gpu=? default". If you include any additional arguments, they will be ignored.

The GPU number argument must be the first argument if you're tweaking clocks/voltage, but core/memory/vddc arguments don't have to be there.
VDDC is automatically set to the voltage of the last performance state (the 3D one), if that argument is not present.

I have only tested it on my 5850s.

nice work dude

Hi! Great work! Testing it now. I hope you could integrate it with your GUI Frontend and have like sliders or even just boxes to apply clock settings.

Can't get it to work on 6950. It can get values but exits -1 when trying to set.
Will definitely donate if you will fix it.

I know it's a bit asking much, but fan control would be great! Working well, tested on a 6850.   And a way to reset maybe? (command) Your tools will be perfect once integrated to your GUI.

Maybe if I ever bother to switch to tabbed interface, I'll add it.

That was easy. Fan control and reset to default added. Didn't really bother testing them rigorously. Ran it once and those commands did what they are supposed to do.

I think it may be related to driver problem. Afterburner can't change RAM frequency. It remains 1250 in monitoring graphs after I decrease it in AB and apply. Not the latest driver nor Catalyst 10.2 works for me. Maybe it's because of 3*6950(unlocked) present in my system

Error looks like this:

[melco]

I found that I can set memory freq, fan speed but have problems setting core and vddc. Removed afterburner and CCC

[melco]

I found it was rejecting changes because of CCC overclocking limits. Have to apply this patch to fix things out

It very clearly is not, if you bothered to download it. Would you be willing to bet 100 BTC?
Tell me, have you ever heard of ADL? If not, may I kindly suggest that you exit the thread?

[melco]

lvlrdka22, can you show how to use vddc option? Can't figure out.
Finaly program works for me very well after unlocking CCC limits

Does it set the cloks permanently, so i could set them in Windows but remove HD and mine in Linux?

Reference model? If not, probably won't work through this/ADL.

Look up RBE and BIOS modding/flashing.

Yes, Reference. Just an example of syntax plz.

I hope you realized that at stock, VDDC was 1.1 V. You were trying to set it to 1150 V.
The setting VDDC to xx MHz is just a text bug.

vddc=1.1 is an invalid argument, skipping.

P.S. it works for vddc=1 but how to switch it back?!? ))

[melco]

Found it. You try to cast parameter from vddc which is 1.1 to number. Then you multiply it by 1000. Better set in mV instead ov V and remove *1000.
So I will set voltage to 1100mV instead of 1.1V
