Hotkeys Manager 25
Note: Catalyst™ Control Center loads aspects dynamically based on
what device is attached to the graphics card. If you have standard display
device such as a CRT monitor or flat panel display Monitor Properties
will appear instead of Digital Panel Properties. The latter is designed
for use with such devices as HDTV displays.
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.
To access Hotkeys Manager
• Click Hotkeys in the Catalyst™ Control Center.
ATI Overdrive 3
Use the ATI Overdrive 3 aspect 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,
the ATI Overdrive 3 aspect will automatically decrease the clock speed until
a safe temperature is reached. The ATI Overdrive 3 aspect will never reduce
the graphics processor speed below the default clock speed.
Use the Automated clock configuration utility to obtain the ATI
recommended the ATI Overdrive 3 aspect speeds for the graphics processor
clock and video memory clock. Alternatively, manually set these speeds to
meet your specific requirements. Finally, the ATI Overdrive 3 aspect 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.
