Not to hard to see why he has lower temps as he is running higher fan speeds than a standard card would be out of the box. Thats the only real problem with ati 4 series the stock bios has the fan speeds set far to low to keep the cards cool so up the fan speed a little then you have a much cooler card at idle and load.

From 27% default fan speed to 30% fan speed.
i wouldnt call that a earth shattering higher fan speed to make the temps jump from 70c idle to what i have

Benched these on my 4870 1gb and compared to the 8.9's there was no difference, will keep them till officials are out.

Ive had the same thing, i set my clocks high and when I come out of a game its back to default clocks. It doesnt always do it but nearly always after running the crysis bench tools. Also Its doen it with all drivers since the 8.6's and not just when using rivatuner to clock. Its even done it when using a custom bios with higher clocks.

Ive noticed we both have one thing in common, crossfire.

It does this without Xfire. Any idea how to fix it? I've noticed it since upgrading from 4.7 :confused:

For comparison, my 4870 is now idling at 77 degrees at 20% fan speed (roughly 1000 rpm)...

Did you bother to look at his gpu-z which says his fan speed was at 40%.

Orangey · 3 Oct 2008 at 03:38

GPU-Z lies, it always says 40%.

Unless they fixed that in the latest release...?

your most welcome

These drivers seem pretty good, judging by the feedback on here.

I'll wait for the official release though.

LoadsaMoney · 5 Oct 2008 at 12:53

I was gona try these, but i think ill just wait for the officials, won't be long now.

Herojuana · 5 Oct 2008 at 13:15

I'm hoping for imrpvoements with WARhammer, for some reason its stuttery for me with a 4850 + 3.1ghz dual core :s

Devious · 5 Oct 2008 at 13:39

No extra speed with these for me but im sure the fan control will be handy.

How do you get ATI Overdrive to appear in the CCC, at the moment mine is greyed out?

Using Vista 64bit,

Thanks.

Looking forward to the official release, had a few issues with crysis when trying to change the res and the ccc not starting properly on windows boot.

Seem about the same as the latest officials to me.
