The document provides performance tuning guidance for AMD Dragon AM3 AM2 processors.
The reference to AMD Overdrive indicates the software won't function without an ATI graphics card.
amd overdrive is intended for the cpu, while ati overdrive or ccc is used for the gpu.
The device reports that the 7 series chipset isn't installed. It might be due to a driver issue—checking for available drivers or reinstalling them could resolve the problem.
I didn't hear that answer, could you be a driver? Do I need to install one for my Phenom? I already have them installed on my motherboard.
The crosshair II features a 780a chip manufactured by nvidia, not AMD or ATI.
Does that mean AMD Overdrive wont work?
Isnt that just for video cards, I have Riva tuner and I don't see a place for a CPU.
