    upgraded to catalyst 8.12

    My 4850 goes over 100 degrees! Speaking of fan controls... When I'm gaming now, my 4850 goes over 100 degrees after my upgrade to 8.12. When that happends, my fan goes to 100%. It used to be fine with 8.11, when I had the fan at 50% it never got that hot! Did the new drivers make my card work...

    3870 owners, You gonna upgrade?

    I upgraded to a HD 4850. I find it's quite a bit better than my 3870 especially with AA on. But I'm keeping my 3870 as a backup for now. Just too bad you can't Crossfire 3800s with 4800s...

    HD4850/4870 Fan Fix + OC Fix.

    Alright, I have a Diamond HD 4850... I edited the BIOS and now my Fan Fix Profile is not working... It was working before I flashed it. So I flashed it back to the original, and now it's fine. What am I doing wrong? Am I not able to OC my card and have the Fan Fix working at the same time? Am I...

    HD 4870 HDMI problem

    I'm not familiar with Vista... I'm using my 4850 with 8.7 in XP. The native resolution for my TV is 1920*1080 as well... What I did was go into my Display Settings and drag the second monitor to the left (since my TV is on the left) and it asked if I want to enable the monitor. Click yes and...

    HD3870 X2 / GPU-Z Question

    I seem to have the same problem as well. I'm using a Asus P5K-E/WiFi-AP motherboard(which also only support 1 PCI-E 16x and 1 PCI-E 4), and I can see that Crossfire is enabled in CCC, but not in GPU-Z. I did both the steps in removing and installing the drivers, but it's still the same. I did...

    Post your 3dmark06 HD 3K Series Results

    Alright, this is probably my last update. I don't think I can get any higher without raising the voltage. 3dMark06 score of 16881 with Q6600 at 3.4GHz @ 1.4V and Crossfire 3870 @ 837 Core 1143 Mem

    Post your 3dmark06 HD 3K Series Results

    Good eye Spirou! Sorry freaksavior, I should be in the 3870 Crossfire Quad Core section... 16428 would be too high of a score at my clock rate...

    Post your 3dmark06 HD 3K Series Results

    Posting my updated results... 16428 I'm surprised how much of a difference it made from just overclocking the CPU to another 400mhz more! Can probably go higher, but my Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro heatsink doesn't seem to be giving enough cooling...
