    Hey guys

    think this might be a driver issue, but I'm not sure. After gaming, sometimes, no matter what game, the graphics card sees it fit to use 100% of one of the cores (GPU1 on afterburner). Stops doing it after a restart. Just quite annoying cos the fan spins up as a result.

    Just on the one card atm, the 5870 has been removed until later.

    Any ideas on how to fix/anyone had similar issues?

    Thanks

    BLEH!

    *EDIT* This is the latest driver, installed cleanly after using driver sweep jobby

    Dayum. Now if we could marry ATI/AMD's hardware with nVidia's drivers somehow...

    Yeah, but you can't RMA AMD cards because it 'only' has the 99% GPU bug.
