    4870: screen starts "blinking" if memory goes 5 mhz above stock (in CCC)!

    It's at 30% constant (set in the XML file through a CCC profile). 60 idle/77 load cause my room is hot but that's still cool enough. Heat shouldn't be causing artifacts at 905 mhz on memory. And as I said, this was working fine for hours yesterday. 8.6 Hotfix drivers, Visa x64

    4870: screen starts "blinking" if memory goes 5 mhz above stock (in CCC)!

    Yep, as the topic says I can't seem to OC from 900 mhz to 905 mhz using overdrive. It was working fine yesterday. I played Crysis at 790/1100 (core/mem) but today, the monitor starts blinking (as in some random distorted crap shows up on the screen for a split second and goes away every few...

    One thing that makes GTX 260 better deal than 4870

    I remember back when I used to get angry and resort to name calling on the internet. I was 14 at the time. I suppose getting the best card for your money doesn't matter to you since Mommy buys it for you. Here are the facts: there are web sites that DO measure gameplay experience, thus...

    One thing that makes GTX 260 better deal than 4870

    That's an incredibly stupid analogy. More memory is better, but only with everything else being EQUAL. But the GTX 260 gets beat most of the time so clearly these cards are anything but equal. Cherry-picking results FTL. That said, GTX 260 is the better deal if you can get a rebate to...

    My 4870 has arrived: Picture, overclocking/benching soon!

    Damn how are people getting 48 C idle? I get 60 C idle at 35% fan speed. I thought maybe the thermal paste was a hack job and reapplied some myself. Same result.

    My 4870 has arrived: Picture, overclocking/benching soon!

    Just got my HIS 4870. That little screwdriver/LED/leveler tool rocks. Worth getting the HIS model just for that. :D

    What will happen to nvidia?

    Yup, and it very likely will be with Catalyst 8.7. Your point? Is it a reason not to get the card? I'm guessing you don't know what a red herring is, because you just used another one. In which of these cases did the other side (ATI or NV) have a card $350 cheaper which performed very...

    What will happen to nvidia?

    You can't do something that takes 10 seconds? There is nothing wrong with the cards - AMD chose noise reduction over temp reductions. Most people will use the card as it came without any issues throughout its life. They won't even bother to check the temp readings and wouldn't care even if...

    What will happen to nvidia?

    You do realize that it takes 2 edits to a text file to fix the cooling? Which really just makes me wonder why things went so wrongly for NV.

    HD 4870 Fan-Control, Easy Workaround, Lowered My Temps 30C

    There ARE 4800 drivers and it's on their site. Your being unable to find them speaks more about you than AMD or NV: http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894

    Careful with those 4870s---- Don't Flash!!!

    It's XS. That's all they do. IMO, they have NO credibility when saying that. But yeah, use CCC for overclocking and edit the XML file to change fan speed. Changing the idle clock will have to wait.

    HIS HD4870, ATI back in the game!

    First off, no one is entitled to getting more out of their cards. That's why we call it modding. Second, there's a huge, huge difference between software overclocking and BIOS flashing. The XS people have no case, especially considering RBE's 4800 series support was clearly labeled as...

    S1 on rhw 4870

    You'd need to volt mod to go much farther though.

    HD 4870 Fan-Control, Easy Workaround, Lowered My Temps 30C

    Is there any way to do progressive control? (i.e. fan gets faster as temps rise)

    4870 Avalibility ?

    Newegg's HIS and Sapphire models restock on 6/30. I suggest waiting for that. Remember to spend all day refreshing the page. =D
