Whats the pci device that the 3870 wants to intall?

My PCI-e UAA drivers were on the CD, just go through the whole installation process, but uncheck everything except HDMI sound drivers as you'll already have catalysts and/or everything else installed. For the text problem, uncheck everything in your 'Appearance>Effects' options from the display properties.

I have seen that sapphire are doing a single slot solution. It utilises a "vapour chamber" which works very much like heat pipes only much better aparantly. It is said to work much better than the standard duel slot solution too. I'm not sure if this is the version that you have but if your thinking of running a crossfireX setup with 4 cards i think they would be very handy.

what are your temps like anyway and whats the fan noise like in 2D and 3D?

The temps are really good atm, idel 37- 42, not sure about load cos ive only been gamng for about 5mins to test it out, but It hasnt been passed the 40s yet while gaming. The fan on it seemes to be really good, cos its not always on.

Away the cooling seemes to be much better then my his 1900xt card
 
but yeh very impressive about 20-25c cooler then my 1900xt at full load, but I have only ran 2 or 3 games for about 5mins or so,, Put it this way, the temp was saying 40c after the benchmark for crysis had finshed.
 
nice I may look at this card over the duel slot. although an exaust fan is attractive to me in my shuttle... oddly ocuk dont list the atomic.. i wonder if theres a way of ensuring i get that card...
 
The fan kicks in when it gets to 43c and then continues untill it gets down to 37c then turns off. It only takes about 20-30secs for the temp to get down to 37c from 43c. then takes about 2-3mins to get back to 43c, then the fan kicks back in again.. Thats when the card it idel.
