    Intel 13th Gen Support?

    Hello @unclewebb! I'd like to try Throttlestop 9.5.x beta as well! Working on a 13900HX in my Legion Pro 7i. Here searching high and low took a time and finally found this thread. Don't want to use XTU as I've been using Throttlestop for years on my processors. Thanks!

    CPU bottleneck

    CPU power is not always about low res's and such. Physics has been playing a big part in CPU power as well some games will eat CPU power for breakfast, lunch, dinner, desert and snack time. Synthetic yes at least in older 3D Marks, CPU really drives the scores. For me 06 with my old 8800GT...

    4850's and odd temps & heatsink suggestions?

    Yeah plan on getting aftermarket cooling just haven't decided on which yet. Since I want to up my volts, drop the noise and get cooler tempatures :) I know the temps aren't horrible, some times it gets near 90C on that second card with #3 sensor. I just seems wierd to me why there would be...

    4850's and odd temps & heatsink suggestions?

    They seemed decent, not the best of course but they looked comparable. I wasn't going to monkey with them really myself but even swapping coolers between the 2 cards didn't yeild any difference and still yet Card 2 is still hotter than Card 1 even with Card 1's original cooler.

    2x4850 CF slower than 1x4850? (Crysis)

    Ah yes good one candle. 3Ghz clock speed yielded a 15-20FPS drop in FPS to me over a 4Ghz clock in Crysis. It could be a possible hang for you with that. I had phsyics on high so it be a little different for you.

    4850's and odd temps & heatsink suggestions?

    Alright still trying to figure this out and im totally confused to why it would read so high. Since I got 2 4850's, I've tried to swap my heatsinks, cleaned and reseated the heatsink/die many times and I still get odd tempatures. Here is some temp examples Idle Card 1: 44/45/45/43 Load...

    2x4850 CF slower than 1x4850? (Crysis)

    Crysis and CF work perfectly fine. Surely it can get better as I've seen with driver releases already but its still a work in progress of course since they are quiet new. At 1920x1200, High, 64-bit, w/ DX9 in Vista and 650/1050 I can get 55FPS in the Benchmark. Single card was around 35FPS...
