Greetings,
When I built my pc in 3-2008 I picked this card up and have been quite happy with it since. However there are a few questions and concerns I have with it. For instance I didn't realize it would be the redheaded stepchild to the AGP version. What I mean by this is I see alot of posts about the AGP verision but few about the PCI-E one. I've seen that this card..and most/if not all of the 3800's suffer from the fan issue. The issue as I know most know is that the fan doesn't speed up to cool the card until it's way past the best time to do so. So my question is that I know the 3870s have a bios fix..and also the non HD 3850s do as well. But does anyone know a fix for this type of 3850?
Thanks in advance,
