Enable ATi Powerplay using NHC. How?

#1 Post by agarza » Tue Sep 05, 2006 10:59 am

The option Enable ATi Powerplay Control in NHC is grayed out.

Even when the Powerplay option is disabled under the FireGL T2 graphic card properties dialog.

How could I make the option to become available?

ParzanM,

Which version of the driver do you have?

Maybe using Omega Drivers can help NHC to be able to manage PowerPlay?

Thanx ParzanM,

I have a T43 (x300) - hmm wonder if I should try it out?

But then there's the question of what I'd get? More control, but no extra speed is what I think I read.
