My rotating cube in 3d view will stutter a lot, is this normal? The FPS is 100-300, and I do not have fraps on or anything. I have the latest official drivers on a x850XT.

I found that the stuttering is caused by hard drive loading, and mine stutters all the time :D

I JUST figured it out, it was MBM. I turned off MBM and everything worked fine. First though I set the CPU priority to real time and it ran perfectly then but I could not move my mouse so I had to restart :D. Then I exited MBM and everything worked fine.

I love this card already I upgraded from a 6600 GT to this x800 GTO 2 and flashed it to a x850 XT and it is giving me 6000 3dmark05 runs OCed w/o another cooling fan.

What is a safe temp to keep it at? 75C? or higher like 90C?

Anything over 75-80c and you will start to lower the lifetime of your card :)

If you are getting 75c+ when gaming, or running a load test get another cooler for the card :D

You shoudl be able to pick one up made by either Zalman or Arctic Cooling, there are lost of reviews over at the main TPU site :D

An running instance of Samurize makes the cube stuttering too.

can you please elaborate what is MBM? Mine does that a lot too, skippy while ATI Tray Tool doesn't do that.

Is that a sign of a problem?

MBM is just Motherboard Monitor a well known and used temp watching program. I turned it off and it did not stutter anymore. Try turning off all programs and see if it stutters.
