ATI 6870 not overclocking (Low FPS)

[Driftit]

Well the beta patch did not fix the idle step up problem at all. Very dissipointed. Other than the stuttering this has to be the biggest problem. Has it even been addressed at all?

Will try ATI tray tools now. And hope it doesn't crash my machine like it does with my friends.

the idle step problem will be address in the final version

This is what's worked for me:

It should open on the first tab, which is where that option is.

After doing that, my clocks have been at full speed.

EDIT
Having received today's patch, this no longer works.

So how do we set up a profile with ATT?

After many hard crashes I got ATT to keep my card in a stepped up state. This allowed me to play the game.

Something I am keeping an eye on though is the card temps while running ATT. I am not sure yet if ATT is using its own temp/fan profiles. As the card is getting hotter than it normaly would say playing ARMA2. So I have bumped the fan speed up a little to be safe.

ATT is a temp fix if you have this issue. Also a way to stop the hard crashes in ATT is to switch the voltage option to a higher voltage. This is found in the same screen where you set the clock speed.
