hotfix is out before 8.7 was released. so if u install 8.7 already there is no need to install the hotfix. not sure wat it improves

aiyah,go for gainward. it's faster due to 0.8ns samsung ram chip ...faster than HIS

wah, thanks for informing us boss

playing full HD also depends on the cpu itself. recommand Intel platform since it's faster in playing full videos :/ (previously using X2 5000+ Be OC to 3.2Ghz and 2900XT but when playing full hd video, sometimes audio goes out of sync )Full HD videos need at least 2.4Ghz ..(tested on my rig XD..don't ask me y amd with 3.2Ghz struggling in playing FULL HD video )
@squall_12, use gpuz to check it then ..how to set the fan? u need to google to see how to adjust it..a bit troublesome to post it here >_>
@him, still need to adjust the fan. the bios controlling the fan is not optimize enough :/

playing full hd does not use the AVIVO thing available on most video cards. Even enable, it only works on some movies and not all. wat type of video/movie did u play anyway?(tried with 2900xt and 3870, still the same until i changed newer rig)

well, these graphic cards are able to withstand heat up to a certain level b4 it dies down so it's fine actually..lol...if the cards is so hot, won't we b seeing ppl mass rma-ing their card due to the heat issue ..wah, coolice edition (review kah?)

maybe test it in another rig? where u from

Hmm, waiting for Thermalright new TRad2 before getting a 3rd party cooler

yeah, but the TRad2 is slimmer ..+ i heard that thing, can it fit on 4850? I don't see users oversea happy with that auras cooler

what mobo and proc,boss?

cool! Still awake so early in the morning ar boss ...

Maybe it's mobo related..I nv did encounter this problem before o_O..Btw for the hotfix, if one uses CCC 8.7 or 8.8, not need to apply already

hmm, CCC 8.8 nv includes ATI driver? jz uninstall and install CCC 8.8 and notice that it does not have ATI driver :S Download the ATI driver then. They nv include it in the release..ATI driver not included

better performance for 48xx cards. improve marks for 3d vantage btw try downloading the driver and see if it works?

the display driver. I download and install it and it works for me now..Sorta weird that the CCC nv includes Driver Display

err the thing is both of us using vista = =...any more vista user like to clarify on this? Downloaded the display driver and it works. It weird though since both the files on vista 32 bit shows that CCC(with display driver) and CCC ONLY are both at 43mb weird..

32 bit lor bro ..Not 64 bit..In 32 i think they nv include it..See even wingxp solve it once he downloaded the Display Driver

really? let me try mine..wat setting did u use bro?
