: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html 8.7 Catalyst for 4850/70 are here!!! I'm using 8.7 beta driver for a while now. Thing is when I tried to go back to those 8.6 hotfix drivers they would'nt install correctly due to something that beta driver did. Hope these official 8.7 drivers install ok. |

That is what I was wondering. Is this a good update to the HD4870? I see nothing in the release that improves the performance of the 4870, addresses the high-heat settings, or helps any of the games I play. I would like to know what other people are experiencing before I install it. William |

The "high-heat settings" will never be "addressed" by ATi. Because the fan
speed schedule is temperature-based, you can be sure the card is running at the temperature that the ATi engineers intended. If in your opinion, the default operating temperature is too high, force a faster fan speed. Don't expect ATi to ever change it. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

nothing in the release that improves the performance of the 4870, addresses the high-heat settings, or helps any of the games I play. Set the fan to always work at 100% speed. I would like to know what other people are experiencing before I install it. I finally installed 8.7. So far, it's ok. -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

If in your opinion, the default operating temperature is too high, force a faster fan speed. Don't expect ATi to ever change it. I set it to 33% and the temperature runs around 58 c. It's just noticeable in my super-quiet Antec Sonata case. While I was looking around in the ACE user directory for the fanspeed fix, I took a look inside of Profiles.xml and noticed settings for "Full Screen3D", such as gamma, brightness, and contrast on all three colors. CCC doesn't break out the colors for 3D. I've been fighting a red hew in the blacks in Crysis and was looking for a red gamma setting. I set it to .9 and it looks good so far. Unfortunately the change gets overwritten if I do anything in CCC. William |

You are just running a single card, right? I would recommend you ditch CCC
altogether and use ATi Tray Tools (ATT) to control all functions. The only thing ATT lacks is robust Crossfire support. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.
