top gear that beta won't work cuz its time period over but nvm i solved problem myself. Yesterday, I upgraded my motherboard to 1101 version from 0802. Today when i opened it it's showing Hurray i am so happy

^^ so with a mobo bios update you are now able to change gpu vcore settings using AFB - though it sounds a bit strange to me but the nice part is you are now able to push your gpu clock much higher to gain more performance out of it - congrats

Another reason could be that i changed pcie/pci from pci/igpu in bios also i changed bios switch from performance to silent.

I think those settings were at their right values before but whether they have made any changes or not is very easy to know - just use the previous settings of these two options and you'll know for sure if changing these two particular options or the bios update has solved the issue

Alright this forum might just save me...

I have an Asus Radeon 5850 TOP edition and I cannot for the life of me get the voltage unlocked....I have tried everything and it will not unlock.....

The crappy part is that I have had it overclocked before but because my HDD died I had to buy a new one and hence lost my OC settings....

Now I cannot get it unlocked again....

PLEASE help me fix this I have tried everything.....

Can you guys give me any advice? I am very frustrated at this point

I cannot for anything change the voltage on my card right now. I have a radeon 5850 and I have over clocked it before......the problem is my hdd blew and I had to buy a new one today....

I cannot get the voltage to unlock though.....I have tried editing the cfg file and everything and it just wont let me touch the voltage....

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have an Asus Radeon 5850 TOP edition and i am running win 7 64 bit.

Do your card have bios switch? or did you checked that options are enabled for voltage in afterburner's setting?

@ Dissolution - this might be a bit odd suggestion but why not use Sapphire TriXX and try changing voltage option with it

I am using official amd 11.11 driver. I have to download msi driver for my card?

^^ No .. just use the official drivers

There aint anything like msi driver ...only official driver(nvidia /amd) are available for GPUz!!

^^ I don't think any manufacture makes any specialized gfx card drivers for general gaming gfx cards - so it's better to get the gfx card drivers from the gpu makers website.

For eg. on the manufacturers website made by ....... win 7 x64 driver available for GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr is 280.26 but the latest official driver version is 285.62 - which should be a lot better than the old driver with many bug fixed / features added - so for most people it's better to get and use drivers provided by the gpu manufacturer
