I have an old PC, rocking a good old 5870. I always had this card at 850mhz for gpu and 1200 for memory. The defaults. I had times where it would randomly decide: you can do with lower clocks, but I can't. Lower clocks mean hickups in music, youtube video's acting stupid (getting the loading icon on one for 5minutes because I pressed the repeat button, forwarding or going backwards in a video is a pain in the ass too). And this is the case again now.
Since I recently upgraded to Windows 10 I figured I must have enabled some power saving function, but nope, those are still normal (or I am missing one that is very well hidden). Installed new drivers, still won't stay at max speed. Couple of other things I tried:
- Looked for a power saving option in the shit Cataclyst Control Centre, can't find it.
- Looked for the same in Afterburner, can't find it.
- Tried this method. Which worked at times, but now after my 3rd reinstall of drivers, won't do shit.
- Set profiles for 2D and 3D in Afterburner at 850/1200, won't fuckin work (granted, it nags about not being able to connect to rivatuner server?)
So if anybody has any ideas how to lock this ancient card at its proper speeds, I'd really appreciate it, because it is starting to piss me off.
Also, inb4 get a new card, that's not gonna happen.
