I believe it's an issue with the fans. if you read on their webite they make mention of fans not spinning up and to use Riva Tuner to create a profile for fan speeds

Well, the VGA fans do not run from moment zero that i start the computer when pluged into the VGA. They do run if connected to a 'generic' power source, molex. Raising my hairs and getting bald.... |

I own one, soon its going to have a water block on it to complete my system lol shame I dont even game anymore like once every "few" months :O I feel a banstick coming from this club! lol.
Overall I could not pass up this card when I seen the benchies... its obviously Ati's golden child IMHO. I have the block I just havent bothered to put it on yet, maybe this weekend or nexted. I will add sexy pics when I do.

BAck guys. Yesterday I was SO fed up that I didn't even look at the computer.
The fans is solved moving the cables around in the connector, but that is not the problem. The card just doesn't boot at all. I remember that last week, once I had this issue and moved the power cables and pci-e videocard a bit, until it booted. Didn't know/think that this would repeat again. I have tried the 5850 in another pc, no way. Used other power supply cables, no go. Booted holding the card up with my hand, no; booted trying every potition, remounted the oem cooling, I only get black screens. I just packed it to return it... Fantastic card, potentially at least....How can a videocard boot once, then not, then again, and finally not boot at all...? Posting with my old GF9600.... |

Having looked around at the reference cards, I am going for this one I think, not only does it have it's own smartdoctor voltage software, it also comes with a pretty good custom cooler.

i just set up my second toxic 5850 in xfire and i love it! can’t say the performance gain was SUPER HUGE but it was definitely noticeable in badco 2.

yeah i only got the second for eyefinity. a single was getting great rates in most games. but 2 allow me to get decent settings in eyefinity, or max in everything on one screen. except, i am limited by ram somewhat. GTA4 for example can't max out without hacking it. and as i hear more and more games will make use of more than 1gb ... but i think i'm good for this generation. i'll get a 2gb 6xxx in 2011-2012

grrr....I am trying to flash my 5850...please let me know what I am doing wrong...? I formated my USB stick into a NTSF partition. Everything is fine, however when I try to run the commands, I keep getting these errors (Shown in the picture)
Do I have to go in my BIOS and make it load into J:\ ?

alex, you're most likely using files on that boot stick from windows 98, which doesn't support NTFS.

Get the HP USB Sisk Storage Format tool and make your USB stick a DOS startup disk. Then put ATIFlash and the bios on the drive. Tutorial: http://www.bay-wolf.com/usbmemstick.htm |

Hmm, gigabyte has the core more to the right than reference design.
If you compare to this, moddidng is needed. http://translate.google.com/translat..._Turbo_Pro.htm Anyhow 5850+Accelero might be in my future, so it's good to be prepared

It's money saved, not much on one card but make enough of them it adds up.
