AMD Radeon R5

[sanvegas3]

I have a laptop with a AMD Radeon r5 330m .I have recently updated my driver from AMD official website . When I open the amd settings there is no " Global Wattman". Instead there is " Global overdrive ". Can anyone tell me is there any problem or AMD just replaced it ?!

Overdrive is the predecessor to Wattman..... there may just be a bug in the driver implementation that did not fix the naming scheme.

Just a guess.

So this thing isnt because of worng driver ? Well I did install the driver from amd with the same type but i really dont know if the missing wattman is a problem

Wattman is an overclocking/monitoring program - it's not "critical" for usage of the card by any means.

Given you're looking at a mobile chip, it's entirely possible AMD chose not to release Wattman for the mobile cards, as they really shouldn't be overclocked.


I don't expect you installed the wrong driver, no.
