Hey. My HD 5850 automatically adjusts the clock settings, so when nothing's going on they're at 157MHz. When a video is playing, like Youtube, it goes up to 400MHz, and when I'm playing a game, it goes up to 750MHz.
The problem is that when I have a page with a video on it in Firefox, even with its paused and the browser minimized, the MHz goes up to 400, but does not adjust to 750 when I open a game. It stays at 400MHz, dropping my FPS dramatically.
Anyone know how to fix this? Otherwise I can't have any videos open while playing a game. I'm using the latest drivers.
GPU clocks automatically low?
Re: GPU clocks automatically low?
It's a feature to save on power, but I'm surprised that the clock speeds don't change once you're in a game.
Try downloading MSI Afterburner and let it adjust 2D/3D clock settings for you.

Well it's weird, because without a video in the background, it adjusts just fine. It's only when I have a page with a video on it open in a browser that it refuses to go further.Sapientun wrote:It's a feature to save on power, but I'm surprised that the clock speeds don't change once you're in a game.

Okay, so apparently this is an inherent problem. Read up about it on other forums, some of them months old. Like this guy right here. http://forums.amd.com/game/messageview. ... did=131020
Can we expect drivers for this, or...?
