OC'd 5870 Crashes on Youtube

[Icarian]

Managed to OC my 5870 to 945/1300 on stock volts, it's perfectly stable on MSI Kombustor and FFXIV but it crashes on youtube or any other streaming sites.

I made 2 profiles with afterburner, one for 2d (stock) and other for 3d (OC), but looks like youtube makes the card go 3d mode.

I've also noticed the card will no longer idle (unless I do the 2d - 3d profile thing) and while I'm on youtube the card runs at 400/900 instead of 157/300 (idle), this doesnt happen when OC'd, it will run at full speed.

I've found a work around keybinding the OC profile and only activating it when I'm going to play, but it's kind of anoying, is there a way to make the OC profile activate only when running certain apps?

What drivers do you have? The latest drivers released for my 5970 said they fixed a youtube crashing problem in their notes (although I haven't gotten around to downloading them yet).

I have the 10.7 ones installed

Hmm. That was my only guess. It seemed like a real obvious fix most people would have tried first; I only brought it up because the notes specificially mentioned the problem you said you were having. If that hasn't worked for you though....

I don't know how to make the OC profile only kick in on certain apps. Hope someone else can help out and that you get everything working right.

With the 10.7 drivers they made it possible to use your graphics card to improve youtube videos and others. You may try turning that off.

This. Somehow, whenever I'm on Youtube or other streaming websites, my GPU clock goes to 400, regardless if I'm playing a game or not. Unable hardware acceleration solved my problem and it should for yours too.

Where is the option to turn it off? I can't find it :<

That's what I thought... I had it disabled

If you're still having the same problem, right-click any youtube video and under settings, unclick the "enable hardware acceleration".

[Icarian]

That did it. thanks!

Does it do anything noticeable for streaming vids though? I don't see any difference.

[Khalil]

I honestly don't know.
