New in ATI Tray Tools 1.3.6.1047 Beta (Aug 20, 2007)

  • Fixed localization for CrossFire dialog window
  • Updated ini files handling procedures to be more compatible with Windows Vista
  • Improved compatiblity with IE7 under Vista with UAC enabled

New in ATI Tray Tools 1.2.6.955 (Nov 6, 2006)

  • Added new overclocking method for X1xxx boards with Overdrive support. "Driver Level overclocking". Near the same method first was introduced in RivaTuner and then in ATITool. What will do this method?
  • Overclocking will be done by Catalyst itself like Overdrive
  • Voltage will be applied by driver for GPU and by ATT for memory. Only for hardware with voltage regulator
  • ATT will emulate Overdrive job, but will allow to set clocks when you want it instead of when you run full screen 3D application.
  • This should work even if you didn't disable ATI HotKey poller! And clocks will not reset by that service in 3D games
  • With this method clocks shouldn't not resets when you play any video files (tested on my 1800XT)
  • More stable overclocking.
  • You can create full featured overclocking profiles in ATT and use them in game profiles.
  • For Video board without OverDrive support ATT will use alternative method for overclocking like used in ATI WinClk and also in last release of RivaTuner.

New in ATI Tray Tools 1.2.6.940 (Sep 28, 2006)

  • Fixed bug when manual fan control can not be applied
  • Updated some translation files
  • Fixed Old I2C Method to be compatible with X1xxx boards in memory voltage control procedure
  • Added ability to change how ATT will react on "ATI HotKey poller" service. (in General options)
  • Updated Overdrive control procedure. Now you can set any available clocks for OverDrive even beyond the Catalyst limits! And change GPU Voltage too.
  • Added option to apply OverDrive settings on startup
  • Added Portugues (Brazilian) and Belarussian translations

New in ATI Tray Tools 1.2.6.930 (Sep 19, 2006)

  • Added configuration dialog for Overdrive 3. You can use it if you don't want to overclock your board on low level or if you have a problem with low level overclocking. Remember this option will be active only if your video board support Overdrive version 3 and ATI HotKey poller service is started.
  • Added overclocking support for X1300/X1600/X1800/X1900. Memory overclocking for X1300 doesn't work in this release. Also remember that you must disable ATI HotKey poller if your board can operate in 2D/3D mode or your clocks always will be resets to ATI default clocks. Try do not overclock your board while any 3D games are active. Do it before launching game via game profiles it is a safest way.
  • Updated color correction hotkeys, to support new color correction formula
  • Updated 3D renderer and benchmark module.
  • Fixed situation when 3D renderer shows artefacts after using benchmark module.
  • Added support for Avivo Colors correction. Hue/Saturation will only work on R5xx video boards. There are no way to activate them for old video board, so do not ask me about it.
  • Updated auto FAN control functionality for R5xx boards.
  • Updated system information module. Added basic information about Overdrive support.
  • Fixed broken OSD functionality for Direct3D8 games and applications.
  • Fixed detection of current 3D profile with no GI option included
  • Now Shared memory information about FreeVideo and Texture memory will be updated only if 3D game or application is active and OSD enabled.
  • Updated FlashOSD module. Added voltages information for X1xxx video boards and ASUS Video boards with FinTEK sensor (like 9600XT/9800XT)
  • Fixed rendering procedure in FlashOSD module for some of non-alpabetical characters.

  • Added support for "Perserve Aspect Ratio" option in Display module. If supported by LCD or DFP display.
  • Fixed bug with hotkey for decreasing contrast in color correction procedure.
  • Added GPU and Memory Voltage control procedure for X1600/X1800/X19xx (if supported by hardware)
  • Monitoring Graphs window now will be automaticaly reopened after suspend mode if it was active before entering into Suspend mode.
  • Added option to Force TV Detection.If you are using an older TV or one that has non-standard inputs that may not be automatically detected, use Force TV Detection.
  • Added test support for X1300/X1600/X1800/X19xx Radeon video boards into TV Out/Display module.
  • Improved TV Out support for mobility chips. ATT has partial support for mobility chips, so do not expect a lot
  • Updated Core names database. Added information about RV570/RV535 chips.
  • Added option to automaticaly shutdown "ATI HotKey Poller" for R5xx board. If you want to use overclocking functions in ATI Tray Tools for those video boards, you must always disable "ATI HotKey Poller" service to prevent from resetting clocks and voltages to default state.
  • Fixed FlashOSD functionality corrected wrongly shown GPU/Memory speed for R5xx video board in 3D mode.
  • Added localization support. Big thanks to all who helped to translate ATI Tray Tools into other lanugages.
