My Graphics Card is At Lowest Clock Settings!!HELP!!!!

[potatoman1000]

My Specs

fx 4130
radeon 7850 2gb gddr5
gigabyte 970a ds3p
corsair cx 430
8 gb 1600mhz
330gb hard drives (2x hdds)
dvd rewriter

and ive got adequate cooling. four 140mm case fans.

i went on catalyst and bumped up the speeds by 35mhz and my power to max. then i tested in unigine and it worked perfectly with increased fps.
then i increased it by about 50 again and unigine froze .please help ive got a beast graphics card that i cant even use properly.

Thanks to anyone that helps

Just because catalyst can go higher, doesn't mean your card can handle it. if you raise the clock and it crashes, then it can't overclock any higher. there's a limit to what it can do.

But my card should be able to go higher

What are your clocks?

 

[potatoman1000]

300mhz memory clock
150mhz core clock
Power at max and fan speed I left it at 50%

Wait a minute, does it say +300mhz? Or is your clock actually at 300mhz? There's a difference. Post a snapshot of your ccc.

i dont know how to snapshot i tried print screen(facepalm im a noob) but i got it the wrong way round my core clock is ACTUALLY 300mhz and memory is 150 mhz theres no +

Is that under load?

That makes no sense. No graphics card runs at 300mhz as its full speed. Just because its the program I use, download MSI Afterburner. I know how that works well so it'd be easier to troubleshoot. After you download it, look at the graph that measures GPU clock speed. Run unigine as a windowed in the background and tell us what the clock reaches.

ok so im gonna use unigine now but a quick update. i download msi afterburner and it said max clock settings 335mhz and 185mhz which is what i lcocked to before. then i pressed reset and all the clock settings changed to how they should be and auto was enabled. i think this may have fixed the problem but now im going to see if its stable with unigine

 

[potatoman1000]

YAAYAAYAYAYY I LOVE YOU GUYS I THINK ITS FIXED. before i was getting max 50 fps now 80 and idle my temp is 20 and load 40 THANKS DUDES

 

[potatoman1000]

However my core clock stayed the same for some reason and the same with fan "tachometer" . at the moment fan speed is at 39% should i put it higher?

 

[potatoman1000]

Is that under load?

nope

 

[smeezekitty]

You can only accurately measure clocks under load. At idle it is at its low idle clocks

its the same under load i.e. unigine
