    Thanks. Thought that may be the case.

    ATI CCC on HD4670

    This maybe a slightly dumb question but I have overclocked my HD4670 to 760/1013 from stock 750/850. When you set the fan spin speed manually say 30% does it lock it at that speed or does it still spin at a higher RPM when the GPU temp increases? Thanks.

    My 939 is my still my main box (see sig), theres nothing it can't handle at the moment. Updates graphics to an HD 4670, copes with all games I throw at is at high settings @ 1680x1050. Cant see me upgrading anytime soon.

    Rapid FPS drop in game... any ideas?

    Under load it never peaks over 50-55C since reapplying thermal paste. CPU never above 55C, but this was the first thing I did before starting the thread.

    Rapid FPS drop in game... any ideas?

    Ahem.... Well after sorting out the cables inside the case, I booted back up and went into UT3, half hours worth of high detail fragging and no frame drop. Same with the Witcher. Both ran smooth. Do you know what different? The side if off of the case. So I guess after all that the is a heat...

    Rapid FPS drop in game... any ideas?

    New development: I have just re-flashed the bios on my motherboard with the new Radeon 4670 in, booted windows and fire up UT3. No frame rate drops? Could this really of been the issue? This was the same bios version (A8V702) as I was using when I was having the FPS issue.

    Rapid FPS drop in game... any ideas?

    Come to think of it it can't be the PSU. This same PSU has powered a P4 3GHZ and an AGP Radeon HD 3850 which requires PCI-E power.

    Rapid FPS drop in game... any ideas?

    Just a thought: The HD 4670 I have just put in my AMD box is new, yesterday infact. Before I was running an nVidia 8400GS and games where steady playable (without fps drops) with the old card. So that really narrows it down to the new radeon. Could it possibly be my no name PSU? Also I have...
