G'day guys.

I've followed the instructions as per: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/underclocking-memory-speeds-correctly-on-7xxx-series-cards-with-afterburner-111891

I can't seem to lower my memclock in afterburner for my two sapphire dualx 7950s lower than 625.

Is this a limitation of the cards (bios)? Or is it still achievable to get them down to 300?

I'm running 12.8 cat, 2.8 app sdk. I've tried setting memclock to the lowest, closing afterburner and re-opening but 625 is still the lowest.

My cfg is as per the link above and I have the dll file in the afterburner folder...

Thanks for any help provided

update: deleted the profiles folder, but lowest it will allow is 310. Anyways I'll take that Smiley


You can also, go to settings, select the other card, lower the memory, go to settigs again select the other (first) card, the lower limit of memory frequency will be lower.  Repeat this back and forth switching between cards and you'll be able to get to 50 MHz or lower.

Another way is to exit afterburner after setting the lowest setting and then restart it.  The setting will be set to default, but the lowest limit will be much lower.  So you can set memory to the lowest setting and repeat the process.

There is MSI Afterburner sdk, but it is (was) kinda dumb because the app had to be active for the APIs to work.  So ideally, you can automate the above GUI actions to get this done programmatically in one call.  But I never tried it.
