does that count for tft's alsow?? greetz |
wrong refresh rates for TFT's is also bad, so I think yes |
omfg crap .. I guess I'll go uninstall them now :( and reinstall when it's fixed or something .. Or would the Omega drivers fix this issue ? |
the Omega drivers are based on the ATI ones and have the same core code.. so in short: don't use them either |
i haven't noticed anything, probably the pelt is keeping things as they should, muy overclock rests at 470/760 or sth. I ain't changing, I live on the wild side |
you're just looking for an excuse to buy new hardware :grin: |
@ MrC: don't care about the OC, better care about that monitor of yours, unless you want it to try do to the 9800Pro giving the wrong refresh rate config? |
At driverheaven they have tested different catalyst driver versions. http://www.driverheaven.net/showthre...pagenu mber=1 ATI drivers put to the test: temperatures exposed: There has been an awful lot of talk lately about the Cat 3.8 set raising the temperatures of ATI hardware, to get some truth to the matter one of our board members Neon Cowboy has spent alot of time testing various drivers using a probe on the back of his 9800 PCB with the 3.7 set, the 3.8 set and the Omega 3.8.5 set based on the dell drivers. Final Results Room Temperature 25.9C Omegas based on 3.8.5 GPU Idle 47.1 Full Load 55.6 Memory* Idle 40.9 Full Load 52.1 Official Cat. 3.8’s Idle 40.9 Full Load 46.3 Memory* Idle 40.9 Full Load 52.1 Official Cat. 3.7’s Idle 41.5 Full Load 47.6 Memory* Idle 40.9 Full Load 52.1 Summary The drivers based on the dell 3.8.5 leaked betas were the hottest. Closely followed by the cat 3.7’s and finally the cat 3.8’s were the coolest. The results were surprising to me to say the least. Update After some suggestions I went back through and checked the memory temps. This time also with the memory nudged up to 350 MHz* from stock to appease the over-clockers here. I was also surprised to get the exact same readings in each driver. |
I was right! they're the coolest :D |
who cares...? it's not the MAIN issue here, if by using the 3.8 drivers you fry your monitor, than it won't matter how hot your GPU gets... |
