I brought HIS 3850 a week ago. But i only managed to install it just now. The fan is noisy and im not used to it. Is it normal?

lol. The sound is like something touching the fan. A wire perhaps. But when i check, its clear and nothing touches nothing. im so damn irritated by the noise now. It sounds like a heavy machine is operating on my room.

Ok, found the problem. The source is from my PSU. It didnt sit well on its place, thus, touching the casing and vibrate. But the sound of the 3850 is not quite also. At least compare to my old x1600. I need to get used to it though. Anyway, the card is really good. I play NFS:PS at high setting just now.

Bro, im using 3850. I do have crysis and i will try it later. I don't know if can set all settings high though.

Im using the latest driver i've download from the ATI/AMD website last night.

I got artifacts when playing Crysis. The artifacts only appeared when entering the game. I mean the animation of all the credits to developer and stuff. When im in the main menu or middle of the game, i dont have any artifacts shown. Im using the lastest CCC. The 8.1. My gc fan still noisy and sometimes very loud like heli passing by my room. What could caused the artifacts? Im using HIS 3850 and CM 500W psu.
