Also its trying to tell me that my monitor will support 1920x1080??

Blech! Reinstall time.

*Wait.... Looks like you have a modified bios. That is most likely the reason.

spearman914 · Dec 18, 2008, 08:13 PM

ill do a reinstall. Also I didnt change my bios so I dont know what thats about.

How can you tell my Bios are modded?

For some reason I thought your card was a 4870.

I didn't think the 3xxx series had fan control. You had fan control with the previous drivers?

Yes. I was using the 8.11 vista driver. Its strange maybe I will just roll back. I dont know if Im going to see much improvements with my card with these drivers.

Darknova · Dec 18, 2008, 08:45 PM

I don't have fan control with the 8.12 either. And my secondary 17" monitor has always reported as 1920x1080 for some reason with ATi drivers.

kysg · Dec 18, 2008, 08:45 PM

That doesn't sound right. Only the 4800 series is suppose to have the fan speed control thingy...

crtecha · Dec 18, 2008, 08:50 PM

Well I dont know I did have it. Ill reinstall 8.11 and post some screen shots

BrooksyX · Dec 18, 2008, 09:02 PM

Wow thats really weird, only the 4XXX series is supposed to have that. I wanna see these screens too.

crtecha · Dec 18, 2008, 09:17 PM

So I reinstalled 8.11 and all it showed was the temp not even the GPU activity. I dont know whats going on. So I just uninstalled it all and reinstalled 8.12. Not sure why or what has caused these weird changes. But my end result is no fan control. Looks like ill just stick to rivatuner.

spearman914 · Dec 18, 2008, 09:19 PM

Yup for the 3xxx series there is no fan speed control and CCC locked it as auto.

crtecha · Dec 18, 2008, 09:24 PM

Thats soo strange I wish I had a screenshot before I upgraded cause I did in fact have that setting.

Ohh well. Like I said I can always adjust it in rivatuner

Well i think 8.12 doesn't support it yet only 8.11 does. But that's kinda stupid because it's suppose to add features not drop features.

crtecha · Dec 18, 2008, 10:06 PM

haha tell me about it. Thank you to everyone and all their suggestions and comments in regaurds to my issue.

tamazoid · Dec 22, 2008, 01:03 AM

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 extra hard?

What's the maximum temperature for this card?

Thanks!

Also, I'm running stock clock speed and voltage.
