    Cant get manual fan control on 5970 at all....

    You'll have to flash your BIOS to get manual fan control. XFX has the updated BIOS for download on their website. I believe you'll have to have your card registered under "Black Edition Members". They give detailed instructions on how to do it. In 10 minutes you should be up and running...

    xfx 5850 flavors - regular, xxx, and Black, does it matter for OCing?

    Opted for the XFX 5970 Black Edition. Not sure if they bin these things or not but using the XFX Overvolt Tool and CCC I got the card running at 900/1200 in no time. Gonna shoot for more over the Christmas break when I have more time to play with it. Regardless, the card is ridiculously fast at...

    5970 XFX Bios update

    Flashed last night and manual fan control is up and running. Contacted XFX support last week and they told me they'd have a fix early this week. Had an email 9:00 AM Monday morning. Very pleased with the customer service from XFX.

    9.12's

    My fan control isn't grayed out in CCC....it's missing all together. I remember when I got my 4870 X2 at launch there was no such thing as manual fan control in CCC. I was able to make profiles and edit the fan speed values with notepad. I will give that a try as well, but something tells me my...

    9.12's

    Tried that when I first got the card thinking the same thing but the fan control slider is grayed out. I will try it with these new drivers tonight after work. Thanks for the tip.

    Was it there before you installed the hotfix?

    9.12's

    Installed 9.12s - No manual fan control Installed 9.12 Hotfix - No manual fan control All I wanted from this driver was the ability to control my fan so I could get to overclocking this card. So basically I have to flash the BIOS with a Sapphire one in order to get manual fan control on a...

    Catalyst 9.12 coming tomorrow Dec 16

    Can anyone confirm that these drivers add fan control to 5970s? That's the main fix I've been waiting for. Extra performance is just a bonus to me ATM.

    Picked up ATI 5970

    The card is just huge. The 4870 X2 is a decent sized card itself and the 5970 makes it look small. :D

    Your #1 PC game of the decade (and the biggest disappointment) ***poll***

    Never got into any real competition. Was part of a clan for a while then went solo again. I remember playing with/against a lot of jCp guys over the years.

    Your #1 PC game of the decade (and the biggest disappointment) ***poll***

    Other America's Army 2.X. As far as computer games go, AA was my first love. Had an incredible amount of fun with this game. It was the first online game I really got into. Started playing fall 2004 and still play the odd time now and then. Tried AA3 when it came out and hated it. It put a...

    What drivers are you using with 5970?

    Did you do anything to get the fan control back after losing it with the Nvidia driver? I know of the Sapphire OC BIOS that fixes the fan issue but I'd rather not use that. I hope this is an easy fix that will be done in the next driver release. I'm gonna try the drivers from XFX's site tonight...

    Beta 5 here. No issues so far except lack of manual fan control.

    XFX 5970 Black Edition @ Egghead now!

    For the price I'd like to think they're cherry picked. I'd like to get into overclocking this thing but I have no manual fan control. Once that's fixed and running I'll fire up the OverVolt tool and see how far this thing will go. Beast of a card none the less and ditto about the XFX...

    XFX 5970 Black Edition @ Egghead now!

    Picked up a Black Edition from NCIX.ca on Saturday. Spotted an ETA: Nov 29th and fired an order in right away and got the card air mailed to me today. Cost me 850 shipped. Was planning to wait for a price drop as my 4870 X2 was doing just fine. But I found a buyer for the X2 and needed a...
