I don't get that 'force max clocks' option.

The video Targ posted only applies to Crossfire users, who have additional driver settings available to them.

For single-card users you will have to use a third-party overclocking program like MSI Afterburner to force clock speeds and overrride PowerPlay.

I've tried running MSI afterburner, but I can't find an option to 'force' a faster clock speed. Any hints?

Yep same here, twin 4850's and they don't have that option either, when looking for it, as Targ's video shows.

Have you tried Ati Tray Tools? (hardware -> overclock settings)

I don't know what ATI tray tools is - I don't have it under my list of programs, or via CCC, can't see anything in control panel either.

Well since I created this thread I have not been able to solve the problem. I have not been able to force my card to move from idle while in this game.

Infact the game makes it step down to idle. Running another 3D game at the same time as soon as I started COD it dropped to idle.

My card is one of the supported/tested cards. Yet everyone I know with the game and this card has the same issue.

ATT works great! My HD6870 finally shows some power.
You can create a 3D clock profile and then use it in a game profile that will only set the clocks to the 3D setting when you launch "launcher.exe", then set it so the clocks return to 2D levels when you close the game.
