What process is running at 90%+?Wartzay

Spot that process and google it. You'll probably have to disable that process permanently. To do so, Start/Run/ type "msconfig" and click on the Startup tab.

[QUOTE="matrixian"]I wouldn't know exactly how, i use Ati Tray Tools and not CCC.krazykarl0419

is that something i can download to adjust the fan speed?

No, you have to use CCC for the fan fix. Ati Tray Tools don't support the HD48xx yet.

Can the GTX 280 run this?PC_X360

For the demos that require a tessellator no, but for the others probably yes.

You have to save the profile before you can the fan settings.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if you make a profile in catalyst after turning on Overdrive( make sure clock and memory settings are correct). You can then go to the file "C:\Users\Bretware\AppData\Local\ATI\ACE\Bretware. XML. the xml file will have the same name as the catalyst profile you saved. right click and hit edit.

Change the value to "manual" and Want value to "65"

Save the file then reload your profile in catalyst.

65% seemed perfect for me, 70% was loud but you may need it if your case has poor air flow.

You will may have to select the profile everytime you start the computer, but it will work until there is a fix or better info so i can figure how to change the auto target temp.

i am guessing your going to give me a 9800GTX+ vs. 4850 review. Lilgunney612

lol I guess i'm predictable on these forums.

But if you have read up on the 9800GTX+, you would know that it is only a very slight overclock. Making little different in performance.

Stock 9800GTX: 675/2200

9800GTX+: 738/2200

Not that much of an overclock compaired to the results most people were already getting with a stock 9800GTX which are close to around 800/1300.

If 4850 at stock is faster than 9800GTX+ 738/2200, I don't see how an OCed 4850 can lose against a 9800GTX 800/1300. And the fan fix does allow a high overclock for the 4850, while maintaining decent temps.

Although short and sweet, the Scorpion video is sick.sonicsurfer

I know, it's the one that looks the most real. Even the glass looks real. Pretty cool that it was made by David Fincher.

OCed 9800GTX>OCed 4850 when it comes to performance.

Lilgunney612

No, stock 4850 > OCed 9800gtx.

Do you need links ?

Here's a compilation of videos that show what the Radeon HD4800 series are capable of. Some videos are a little old (2 weeks)like Ruby vs Robot and the Scorpion, and many of you have already watched i'm sure.
