Benefits from using the MSI driver against the latest on my R4870 ?

hi,
Quote from: Stu
You don't always need the latest drivers installed
I am new to the forums and was thinking of OC'ing my video card MSI R4870 512M but before doing so I was wondering if there are any benefits from using the latest driver available at MSI site against the latest driver available from AMD site ?
Code: [Select]
MSI 23-07-2010 Version 8.723
ATI 15-09-2010 Version 10.9
Also from your experience what would be a nice safe OC that this card would hold, I don't want to go overboard just increase it some more ? it is currently at GPU 500 and Memory 900

 To answer 2nd part, you can attempt to match the factory OC version of the card. See 4870 OC specs > here < If you haven't done so yet download > Afterburner < from MSI.
 4870~something doesn't look right, your GPU clock is way lower than any of the MSI 4870 cards shown on the Global website. From what I see core clock should be at least 750 for the 4870. Are you sure your core clock  is at 500 or is that a low power state for that card? does the speed go up under a load? I know speed of the NVIDIA cards drop very low under light load.
 I'm pretty sure most people use the CCC drivers from AMD/ATI. If you're not having any problems that can be traced to drivers there's no need to bother with them.

  • Can Windows 7 be installed using the latest version of boot camp on 3TB fusion iMac drive?

    I have tried unsuccessfully several times to install an .ISO version of 64-bit Windows 7 SP1 on my late 2012 iMac, equipped with a 3TB fusion drive. My proposed Windows partition, set up under boot camp assistant from the utility folder, is well under the 2.2TB size limit. I have carefully followed all the prescribed steps using the latest available software mounted on a FAT USB thumb drive.
    The install fails, however. early on when Windows fails to recognize the requested partition situated in the fourth slot. I get an error message that the partition can't be found. ("Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition.") I have picked the partition labled "BOOTCAMP."
    After booting back on the Apple side, the disk utility shows the partition as being there formatted as a FAT install.
    Apple has an update release with the 10.8.3 version of OS X that says this bug has been addressed and should now work.
    I would greatly appreciate some help.

  • How do I stop iTunes from using the cloud?

    I use iTunes primarily for listening to podcasts.  I recently upgraded to version 11.1.
    Now, it used to be that I'd refresh podcasts, download the subscribed ones, listen to them, delete them. done.  I just opened iTunes and under one of the podcasts, there were about a hundred old ones; I used to be able to show everything on one page, now I have to scroll 4 or 6 pages to see what I want.  The "new" podcasts have a little cloud icon, so I guess that's where they are, or downloaded from.
    Two questions:  how do I delete these files, and how do I stop from using the cloud for podcasts?
    (This is a repeat question, because SoonerDoc1 marked it as solved, and it's not)

    That doesn't fix it as the podcast with the cloud logo show up as/in unplayed, I subscribe to CNET First Look Podcasts, some download and some don't download but have a cloud logo. Seems very random. iTunes is a badly written application that is getting worse after every new release.  If iTunes doesn't improve soon I'll downgrade to iTunes 10.7 which was just about use-able. for the second time.

  • How do I import photos from my PC to my iPad3 using the latest version on iTunes?

    How do I import photos from my PC to my iPad3 using the latest version on iTunes? The previous version had a 'photos' function in top right of the home screen but this has disappeared from the current version (Dec'12).

    If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you can re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (control-S), which should make it look similar to how it used to look - if you then select the iPad on that sidebar do you then get a Photos tab on the right-hand side ?

    Digital audio input via mini jack/toslink from ADA converter, monitored via USB audio output to amplifier... is this do-able? I know digital audio input should be okay but how do I monitor it, apart from using the internal speakers?

    You can output audio thru HDMI, with appropriate adapter.
    You can use additional cheap external usb audio for monitoring.

    Anyone know how to stop the "activate" box from blocking usage of a perfectly legal copy of Ilisten? I want to help my dyslexic grandson and this box, including the activation code, keeps popping up, keeping me from using the software. I activated the program and did a few profile building sessions, now it pops up each time I start the program, blocking me from using it. Help sure would be appreciated.
    Jay

    I looked at your post this morning and did not know enough to respond, other than to find out that links to iListen now go to newer, renamed software. Considering it's been nine hours with no response, I'm suspecting few people here have experience with that software. You could contact the current copmany that used to sell that package and see if they have any archived support info.
    BTW: please check you entry for "Mac OS" in your profile. It says iOS, which cannot run on an iMac. iOS is the system for phone and iPads but can't run on Mac computers. Do "About this Mac" from the Apple menu and see what it says about the OS version. Should look like this:
    If the "Processor" line says "Intel," you have a newer Mac than the old modles this forum covers; Intel iMac have their very own forum here:

    I am having trouble transfering any media from my windows 7 pc to my iPad 3. Currently using the latest version of iTunes n my windows pc but still the media won't appear on my devicewhen being transferred..

    The window would open and I would get the hourglass cursor suggesting something was happening, but the Apple home page (default from the install) would not load, nor would any other page I tried (google, yahoo, cnn).
    Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:
    iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
    (Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.)

  • Is it possible to prevent users from using the ''Purge'' option from the ''Recover deleted items'' in Office 365?

    Hi,
    After speaking with a Microsoft engineer over the phone, I've been told that there is no way to prevent users to go to their OWA and manually Purge specific items from the ''Recover deleted items''. The Microsoft tech told us to place the desired mailboxes
    on a litigation-hold and that all data will be recoverable... but only from the time you place the mailbox onto Litigation-Hold and previous items, which doesn't take effect for new-coming emails. 
    1- From what I understand, any new items coming in the mailbox after the Litigation-Hold is put in place will still be ''purgeable'', right?
    2- Is there a way (PowerShell, Security group, etc.) that can prevent a user from using the Purge option?
    We are very surprised that there is absolutely no thread that talks about this issue, which in our opinion, is a major legal and security flaw from Office 365. This is a main concern for us to actually go with Office365. For instance, this means that at
    any given time, if a user exchanges emails with a competitor, they can manually purge emails sent and receive as soon as it is sent/received, even after Litigation-Hold is in place.
    Thank you for your reply and let us know if you have more questions.
    Normand Bessette, IT support technician, Newad Media

    Thank you for the reply.
    Is there still a way to prevent users from using the Purge option, like with a Powershell script to disable Purge?

    You can do as others have done, install Little Snitch & use the Network Monitor to view what is happening, that thread has some good advice. http://www.obdev.at/products/littlesnitch/index.html
    @Topher, Activity Monitor is a bit pants for tracking processes that respawn or just go away (I assume its because it's an on-demand job, have you got a nice article on 'mach services', Linc confused me !? ).
    ocspd seems to do that in my limited testing,
    Little Snitch is the easiest way to monitor & you can get away with the free demo for long enough to test if funds are tight.
