hi guys, in office now ,
is gtx580 is slightly better than 6970?

It's way better. Not to mention the price gap between them.

It is much more powerful than the 6970

Do consider the GTX570 as it is very close to the 6970 and is cheaper as well (that is if there are still 6950 that are capable of unlocking to 6970 specs)

im using sapphire 6850 toxic and my GPU temp around 51c if idle
if i play games for around 12 hours....temp will be around 65c

i think 70c is still normal for a video card..unless the temp go above 98c or more den is abnormal

You can try increase the fan speed but do consider the noise as well...
If you know how to re apply tim, then go ahead & make sure it does not void the warranty...
The load is normal & nice...

just curious coz previously using 4890 with zalman vf2000, idle at 41°
argh i guess i'm go clean & change TIM see how 1st

Anyone here using MSI HD 6870 reference card? Can do me a favour by using GPU-Z version 0.5.1 and make a print screen and post it back here.

Many thanks.

Looks like, upcoming Llano's IGP performance is over my expectation.

hey guys im in need of a little help here
after updating to the latest amd driver for my 5770
i cant seems to open the CCC anymore, nothing pops out
nothing seems to work even i reinstall, any ideas ?

same here, i try to reinstall the ccc but it said already installed.

yeah it sucks when we cant duplicate screens/ OC

Haha , funny how both GC Brand Fans are arguing about what both Dual Core GC is gonna be priced at

i think they are arguing more on the performance of both dual core GC~~~

n like what had happened before..
only a few of them will buy this beast.. others...

do you have sapphire trixx installed?

I have.

5770 owner here. Whenever that happens to me, I do a clean reinstall. The steps I take are different from the clean reinstall I got from Google; and you can Google if you need it. Anyway, these are the steps I did.
1) Uninstall all ATI software through ATI Catalyst Install Manager
2) Restart
3) Registry clean up via CCleaner
4) Install the latest drivers.

Worked for me.

hey thanks for the tip
will try it when i get around my rig

Anyone here played Dragon Age 2 demo yet? can post some numbers about the performance at 1920x1080 8xAA 16xAF SSAO + Directx 11 at highest quality settings?
Any hd5 or 6000 series gpu will do.
