9800xt not showing Overdrive tab

[Guest]

Our Asus 9800xt is not showing the Overdrive tab. Is it normally just a case
of installing the ATI drivers or do you need to do something special to
enable the Overdrive feature? Why might the tab not be showing up? Any help
much appreciated.

depends on the version of the drivers..I believe only the last 2 releases
have the Overdrive feature

We are using Catalyst 4.2. Is it possible Asus have not implemented
Overdrive and so making us use their drivers and SmartDoctor?

Hmm, running 3.10 here, and with the Overdrive tab.

it is a possibility...I am running the latest Omega drivers..and mine is an
ATI card. So maybe like you said Asus did not incorporate them and makes you
run their utility instead.

Hello man!

Asus has it's own oc'ing utility and the Asus 9800 XT does not support
the oc feature of the Catalyst drivers. The only way to co the card is
to install Asus made drivers for your card.

I have a Dimension 8300 and I had to patch the card BIOS (using the
official utility on the Dell site) to enable the 9800XT OverDrive
function.
Search a thread in the forum and follow the instructions.

If your card doesn´t have the LM63 chip on it ( on the back of the card )
which i think you´ll find it doesnt, then no you cant use the overdrive
function. Asus use their own chip, meaning you can onlny use smartdoctor to
overclock your card.
