HD 7690m 'overdrive' removed from settings after 1909 update

[john_wayne]

running a HD 7690m (laptop), after updating from windows 10 1903 to 1909, radeon 'overdrive' is missing from the radeon settings panel. I have tried DDU from safemode, and reinstalled the exact driver and CCC i had running in 1903. I tried deleting the registry key of HKCU\Software\ATI\ACE\Settings so the settings could rebuild. Also made sure the user account has permission to HKCU\Software\ATI\ACE\Settings and its children. tried using MSI afterburner to enable "extend official overclocking limits". seems that 1909 has effectively neutered overdrive on this older card.

Did you try DDU both Intel and AMD driver and then install Catalyst 15.7.1 WHQL + whatever latest driver for HD3000?

and using msi afterburner itself.. well in 1903 afterburner was flaky - which is why i chose to use overdrive instead of afterburner. now in 1909, afterburner cant increase limits.

i did not, will try that now. and yes catalyst 15.7.1 is what i am seeing as the latest driver available, and is what i was using in 1903. thanks will reply with results.

I don't have Overdrive as well but nothing MSI Afterburner can't do.

@xAcid9 DDU'ing both the AMD and the INTEL drivers didn't improve the situation. I have a bootable copy/drive of the old 1903 install. I guess I can do a registry dump comparison old vs new unless there are better next steps/suggestions.

MSI AB extend overclocking not working for you after all those? Hmm.. i can't really help then, i'm on 1809 LTSC.

correct, MSI AB extend overclocking is not working. thanks for your help.

nothing remarkable from the registry compare of the HKCU\Software\ATI\ACE\Settings key and children.

making an attempt at the whole registry now.

so in a deep dive of the 1903 registry, searching 'amd' or 'ati' is madness. searching 'overdrive' yielded many lines similar to:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v2.0.50727\NGenService\Roots\C:/Program Files (x86)/AMD/ATI.ACE/Core-Static/CLI.Aspect.OverDrive5.Graphics.Dashboard.DLL]
"Status"=dword:00000005

 

where in the 1909 registry, the dword values are 00000002 or 00000003.

 

so any AMD guru's out there that can help me plan an adjustment based on compare?

Mine 5 but no Overdrive.
