Ok ive just had my sapphire x1950gt delivered and i was reading the installation instructions, the instructions says that after ive installed the card i should run the windows disk and let i do its stuff followed by the card installation disc.........now i would just normally uninstall the current drivers, fit the card, and install the new drivers - why the need for the windows disc ?

I have no idea tbh what cooler is on it, i have sapphire x1950gt agp. Under load (playing joint ops) i dont think its a too demanding game it was running at 51. I have 2x80mm fans at the front and 1X120m at rear plus the PSU fan . At the moment the side is off my case as i havent put it on since fitting the card yesterday. Im going to run BF2 in a few mins and see what i get on that.
edit
ok max temp of 55 when playing BF2
