Windows support?
How to run in windows? What other things required to run in windows?

You'll need to install Python, for starters. Unless you're writing your own Python tools for Windows, it's probably easier to use one of the GUI-based overclocking tools.

mine looks like this:

...

Section "Monitor"
   Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"
   Option "VendorName" "ATI Proprietary Driver"
   Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
   Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection

...
what could be wrong?

I found X wouldn't initialize properly with those three options (VendorName, ModelName, DPMS) in the Monitor sections. I think it was trying to autodetect the monitors. Try commenting them out? Everything else looks fine.

Maybe I missed while skimming the thread, but has anyone tried this on 69xx series hardware?

Curious if this gets around the 'memory clock must be >= gpu clock - 125mhz' issue..

Someone indicated in another thread they were able to use it successfully on a 6990, I'm more curious about 6950 / 6970's

I've tried this on my 6970 and no, it doesn't get around that issue. I still have to set memory clock >= gpu clock - 125.

But this tool is definitely easier to use than aticonfig.

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if it's a bug or mistake on my part. On Linux if you set the memory clock without a performance-level it works fine and appears to set all performance levels with the memory clock inputted. If you set the engine-clock without a performance level it crashes. When I add back the performance-level it then works (and doesn't crash). Anyway great job the tool is great. =)

I love atitweak, simple and helps me custom set everything on my cards. Also lets me check what clocks actually stick. Great tool! The shortened syntax rocks(took me a sec to figure out though), saves time when I am testing out new cards or trying higher or lower clocks. Here is what I run right before I begin mining.

atitweak -m 725 -P 2 -A 0
atitweak -m 725 -P 1 -A 0
atitweak -e 850 -P 2 -A 0
atitweak -m 855 -P 2 -A 1
atitweak -m 855 -P 1 -A 1
atitweak -e 955 -P 2 -A 1
atitweak -f 83 -A 0
atitweak -f 70 -A 1

You know you can shorten this more (I'm lazy - less typing = more beer drinking)

Code:

atitweak -m 775 -e 850 -f 83 -A 0
atitweak -m 855 -e 995 -f 70 -A 1

Unless you have some need of running different settings for performance levels???

The commented out sections are to disable monitor auto-detection, since my cards are all running headless.

There should be one ServerLayout section and one Device/Screen/Monitor sections for each card. You can get the PCI addresses with lspci.

very, very nice. I am converting BAMT (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=28967.0) to use atitweak rather than aticonfig for managing GPUs. Can I trust that the current output format will not change in future versions? Donation sent!

Thanks! The output format is pretty ad-hoc, but it should be stable for the time being. I was thinking a flag to output JSON would be useful, but I haven't had the time to implement it.

i can overclock on 11.5, using amdoverdrivectrl to downclock mem outside bios limits, and gpu clock rise only to bios limits Sad

with 11.6 and 11.7 u can set whatever you want, but cpu usage bug forces me to rollback to 11.5

Bummer. What's the cpu usage bug? I haven't noticed any problems -- top reports about 5% cpu usage with 4 instances of phoenix running.

but he must using Windows
because high load is normal for win users 1 CPU core full load per 1 gpu
and because 11.7 for linux doesn't exist yet

no, im using linux

and it is well known bug with 11.6

I'll have some time to work on it tomorrow, but since the i2c calls in the ADL api are virtually undocumented and may not actually do anything, I can't promise anything.
