Alright I'm up and running with the new BIOS. Things are running much better for me now, which narrows my problem down to an issue with the hotfix and XP. Seeing as how the only two things I've read to fix performance have been upgrading to vista or as I've just learned, swapping out the BIOS...
Evolucion, will you please explain how to flash the BIOS of my card with the same deviceID you use? I'm thinking that this may fix the problem with my card.
Another addition, which is kinda weird. If I unlock ATI - auto-drive, all of the readings disappear. I can no longer view the temperature, load % or clocks.
Just upgraded when I bought the card from a crappy 420W to a really nice 630W Raidmax. 2x22A 12V rails. I've got the 6+2 pci-e connector hooked up to the card for power.
Hey guys, new to the forums! I've got a question for you guys.
Seems like my brand new HIS ICEQ TURBO AGP 3850 isnt performing to it's full potential. It's getting really low frames in TF2 (25 or 30) with settings only on medium-low at 1650x1080. I've got the latest hotfix drivers from ATI...
