Ever since i installed the cat 5.6's on my system i have been gettign over heating warnings from y card.. im not overclocking.. im running the defult x850xt PE pci express form visiontek.. .. and while i enjoy the performnace increase over the old drivers.. the overheat thing is kinda bugging me.. also iI'm wondeirng about rumors for optimized drivers for battlefield 2 cause the current ones are a little choppy.. think i may trade my card in for a 7800gtx when my store gets it next week but would like to hear if anyone had the same heat problems i am having

Where do you have the overtemp warning set? It may be that the new drivers are just allowing your card to utilize its full potential so it is heating up more.
From what I have seen, 60-70 degrees Celsius is normal for the card when it is under stress. You may also want to check to make sure that you don't have Overdrive enabled in the CCC. I've found that it usually pushes the core way over where it should be to be stable.

Rofl BF2 is not a game you should upgrade for the graphics isn't anything that great. If anything buy 2GB for ram becouse the game is a resource waster like no other. Bloaty as in a bloatware game....
It precaches everything wich is nutz....no dynamic loading as hapens in just about all other games... You need at least a 1.5GB.... 60-70C s the normal temps what are you getting?

well the vidoe card upgrade is basicly free since im an emplyee and and can exchnage things out unlimitedly .. or till managment says ii cant.. which wont happen any time soon cause i make them too much commission for them to piss me off.. as for the memory i agree.. but that i woud have to pay for so i have to wait for some bonus cash to roll in cause the wife wont let me blow our rent money .. but ill probbaly go up to 3 gigs here soon cause memory is cheap right now even without my discount.. as for the overdrive ill shut the thing off... but it was showing me running at 81 and 82 degrees C... shrug
hmm wont let me relock the over drive.. .. maybe ill try the latets omega's |
