Use Formats to determine how the TV signal is to be detected. Use the Digital Panel Properties to configure the DVI settings and Image Scaling to improve image quality without impacting performance. Use HDTV Support to add EDID information to the Force button of the Displays Manager. Hotkeys Manager The Hotkeys Manager allows you to create shortcut key combinations to quickly perform tasks such as changing a graphics setting or opening an application. A hot key is a combination of one or more modifier keys, such as Ctrl, Alt, or Shift, and any letter from the alphabet. Use ATI Overdrive 3 to maximize the performance of the graphics processing unit (GPU) on your graphics card. An on-chip thermal sensor constantly monitors the temperature of the GPU allowing the maximum clock speed to be maintained while avoiding overheating. If the GPU gets too hot, ATI Overdrive 3 will automatically decrease the clock speed until a safe temperature is reached. ATI Overdrive 3 will never reduce the graphics processor speed below the default clock speed. Use the Automated clock configuration utility to obtain the ATI recommended ATI Overdrive 3 speeds for the graphics processor clock and video memory clock. Alternatively, manually set these speeds to meet your specific requirements. Finally, ATI Overdrive 3 can be configured to run when the computer is booted or only when running 3D applications. • If your computer cannot restart after setting a higher clock speed, press and hold the SHIFT key during system start-up until you hear three beeps. Once your computer has full booted, disable Enable new clock settings at logon.
