Atikmdag patcher 1.4.12

AMD/ATI Pixel Clock Patcher modifies the AMD/ATI video driver to allow higher resolutions and refresh rates by removing the 165 MHz pixel clock limit for single-link DVI and HDMI, the 330 MHz limit for dual-link DVI, and the 400 MHz limit for VGA.

Requirements:

  • Windows Vista or later
  • 5000-series GPU or newer
  • CrossFire requirements:
    • R9 285/290/290X/295X2 and newer cards can handle higher pixel clocks without CrossFire bridges.
    • Older cards require two CrossFire bridges if the pixel clock is greater than 300 MHz. This is only possible with cards that have two connectors. It will not work properly with more than two cards. Dual-GPU cards such as the 7990 will not work properly at higher pixel clocks.

Compatibility:

  • Version 1.4.12 is compatible with Catalyst 11.9 to Adrenalin 21.9.2. It can be used with future versions if it finds the limits you need.

Getting started:

  1. Run atikmdag-patcher.exe. (If you only need the BIOS signature patch, rename it to atikmdag-patcher-bios.exe first.)
  2. If all limits are found, click “Yes” to patch and sign. If a limit is not found or if multiple matches are found, the patcher needs to be updated.
  3. Reboot.

To restore the unpatched driver, run the patcher again and click “Yes” to restore from backup.

Unpatching is not required before upgrading drivers. Simply run the patcher again after installing the new driver.
