My vantage scores at 940/1250.....not suffering from lack of physx

Well I would think so, but they do run different temps, that's why I asked, I get 10c difference which i find a little strange, If as You suggest they are all around the same area
So far I'm on 850/1200 1.2v temps 68c maxing it out on ATitool, I need to go higher
880/1200 seemed a sweet spot try that at 1.162 volts

hey just wondering what everyones temps with this card as ive been keep is mine is 52 c in idle

I know everyones excited now they've got their new toys an' all, but can someone here start playing a few games (not game benchies) and let us/me know what they're like with preferably what they had before gpu wise and their system specs
.
I wanna see if its worth going for a 5850 or a 5870.

That is Very high, You should be looking around 38-44 at idle or else for sure it will be running excessively warm under load
Make sure Your Case has Front and rear Fans and good airflow

i have 7 case fans and that airflow should be good with that and very tidy cable managment

Yeah it makes a big difference to the overall score...........show off!!
I reckon you'll probably be able to get that core up to 1ghz with a full cover block on. I'm going to have to get one I suppose, unless that little VRM heatsink that someone posted earlier works really well.
That looks like, at some point it's seen a spike of voltage through the sensor as I'm guessing it's range is 0-255c. I've had one show max 255c a couple of times.
for idle temp 38c? auto setting which is 21%
32 idle, 41 load.
Got a block on it though.52 sounds high for idle, is that at stock speeds and voltage?

yeah all stock i might turn my fans around and pump more in air or it might be my h50 causing the problem
The only other thing is to check the card is at idle clocks, If You are running something that is calling for 3d clocks the cards clocks and voltages will be stepping up

If your going to get either, get a 5850!
Anyway I just played crysis warhead, I had the card overclocked at 900/1200 1.162v, played for 30mins, didn't do a benchmark of it or anything but it was really smooth, running at 1280x1024, 4xAA and all enthusiast settings
and considering my quad core is at stock I am really pleased, only reached 65c maxNow to try something more challenging GTA IV and ArmA 2

what else could i do to get the temps down and it is a powerclolor 5850
Ok, no one else has mentioned this and last time I posted this it was mentioned it could be switching power modes on the GPU. I am still getting lines of red pixels at at odd times that band across the screen, these are only 1/2 pixels wide and flash for a split second. This morning I have turned on my pc and am getting what appears to be raining artifacts. pink/red dots zooming across my monitor only 1 pixel in size but there are many of them and it is pretty much continuous, they appear to be going in a vertical and horizontal pattern but as they are so fast I cannot distinguish. I have a sapphire 5850, the rest of my spec is - evga680i, Q6600 (now at stock),enermax 1kw - the first one they did about 3 years ago, 2gb ddr2 800mhz, and a 2405fpw. I'm am struggling to see what may be the problem and taking a screen dump does not show this up. I have played a few hours of Cry on it and last night had a 4-5 hour TF2 session and it was absolutely fine. Can anyone comment, could it be a driver/ windows issue?
I think I am going to leave it at this, if I start going any higher with the clocks I have to up the voltage a lot, I was already up at 1.3v with a 985 clock, so I think 900 is more than enough
Pumping air in is not the answer, You need a balanced system with more out than in as the air is expanded as it warms up
Cooling is a science and not a matter of adding more fans with the chance of the new fans disrupting the other fans airflow
