So I've installed it and got the latest drivers and tried to play some of my games.First up Crysis which ran like a dream on high.Played that for a bit then moved on to Sins of A Solar Empire.Again ran great on highest and stuff. Next NFS Prostreet.Now here's the problem.I load up a race and drive.I finish the race and another then the game freezes and the computer crashes.Before it does on the screen for a very very very very short time I see white lines lots of em'.I have to manually shut down the PC and I start it again. The same thing happens.I try with a bunch of games (Colin Mcraye's Dirt,(sp?)The Club,Unreal Tournament 3) but the same thing happens.Now I get about 20 mins of gameplay. On other games (World in Conflict,Children of The Nile,Worldshift Beta,Titan Quest Immortal Throne,Dawn of War Soulstorm) they work fine on max details.And so do the games which I have problems on.My other specs are:AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Dual core Processor 2.20 GHZ and 2 GB of RAM.I'm running Windows XP 32-Bit. It isn't a heat issue cause I have a maximum of 90 Celsius which I think is OK.I ran all drivers from 8.3 to 7.12 which didn't work and I also tried the OMEGA drivers which didn't work cause they are based on the 7.12 arhitecture which doesn't support my video card. What should I do?
i got the same problem...allmost..my card works good...but at some games it rises to around 80-85 or more..i put cooling system on comp , dunno what sould i do
90c is hot, but shouldn't quite be high enough to cause problems. Download ATI Tray Tools or ATITool and create a custom fan profile (I'd try a fixed 75% speed and work your way down) to see if the problem persists. If it does (and especially if the GPU still gets over 80c) I'd RMA the card.
