My x1800xt questions...

[Jonesiani]

Hi all, just installed a brand new x1800xt 512mb!

I load call of duty 2 and begin playing, and i notice the smoke seems to rise in 'boxey' shapes, and this naver happened with my 6800gt. Is this a fault?

Also, when i turn on my pc, the fan kicks in real fast, then slows down. Does the fan turn faster when the card gets hotter?, as its now at 70 degrees (in doing the maunal overclock thing) and its not going any faster.

Any help would be great.

sorry, im not sure i understand...im fairly new to all this

 

[Jonesiani]

Ah i get it, thanks, i will try those settings

Excellent, ive overclocked my card to 689/1693!

That a good clock?

Ill will check out CoD2 in a minute.

I still only have the origional drivers that came with the card instaled.

Hmm, now more problems.....ive got glowing red boarders on the sides of my screen on CoD2. The smoke still rises in blocks, and the grass has dotty straight flashing lines all over it.

Other games seem to be running ok

Any advice?

 

[Jonesiani]

Ok, will do. I did return my overclock to normal, and CoD2 was just the same tho.

Done and dusted.
Installed the new 6.3 drivers, that sorted CoD2 out.

Now i just need to find a good stable overclock.

Any recomendations?
