Hi. I believe it`s because some of the clothing physx is still being done on the CPU. Hope this helps:...
my crossfire 5770 pc locked up with 10.6 when cat ai was disabled. 10.5 was ok though
disabling crossfire using cat ai caused crashes for me (in all games) with my 5770s with 10.6
Are you installing XP from a pre-installed recovery partition?
I use ATI Tray Tools instead of CCC. I haven`t forced any settings on Fallout 3, i only do that if the game doesn`t support AA/AF (Oblivion,...
It only happens to me when using 8AA. Switched down to 4AA and it stays on now. The other thing is when it did go off the performance levels...
Does the CD that comes with this kit contain a complete install of XP or just an upgrade? Would it install on to a blank hard drive with no...
Not sure about the 4870X2 but i`ve underclocked to 375/450 on my 4870. Not only does it keep it cooler it also lowers the power consumption by 30...
Is the reading a fairly accurate one? I`m using Rivatuner 2.10. During the Crysis CPU benchmark it was pulling max 58A. What do other users get?
I now know why the fan speed decreases. It goes down 1% everytime i exit the fan control page by clicking Ok.
AA, AF etc. I set the fan to 32% and ten minutes later its down to 28%. Temps are ok though.
It works on the 4870. I`ve underclocked it to 375/450 with no problems, and saved 30 watts at idle. I tried setting the fan to 30% (which works)...

Believe me, i did try. It would always shut down on exiting the BIOS. It was a slight risk going to an E8400, but as i said it did make a...
UnclePappi, how did you OC your CPU? I`ve got rev3.3 of that mobo and whenever i tried to OC the E6600 the computer shuts down on exiting the...
16x AF works in Oblivion (forced through CCC). Haven`t tried it with Crysis yet. In both the above pictures the ground between the rail tracks...
No risk of damaging the card then?
I`ve just gone from an E6600@2.4 to E8400@3 and it`s made quite a difference. 3dMark06 went up 2000 points. Grid avg went up 15 fps. Crysis...
When i`m not gaming i use 500/810, just to save that extra little bit of power consumption. It all adds up, you know:) I set the speeds in CCC...
Underclocked to 500/810 i get 43C idle at 30%.
