AMD/ATI Pixel Clock Patcher

[the9quad]

This post is just purely informational. I was having issues with games periodically getting a checker board pattern (after a bit) for the past year and occasionally it also would crash my pc pretty hard... Was only specific games, and was mostly dx9 games ( in fact it might have exclusively been dx9 games), but it was something that happened frequent enough for me to avoid those particular games...

Anyway, I recently decided to no longer overclock my monitor and just use the AMD drivers unpatched to see what happens. Voila, no more crashes, no more instances of that checkerboard pattern.

So I think, maybe that exceeding the pixel limit (particularly in my case of using 3 290x's) can be a cause of instability.

Just thought I would throw that out there, on the off chance someone else is using more than 2 cards and overclocking their monitor.

The good news is, I can overclock it for the games I have no issues, and now I know the fix for the games that seem to have issues with it.
