I've recently replaced my GPU with a HD6870. Gaming/stress testing is stable, but I have a strange problem with Firefox...
The fan is noticeably louder than my previous card, so the shift from 2D to 3D mode is easily heard as the RPM increases... I noticed a lot of whirring noise when browsing the net in Firefox. Loading GPU-Z I have narrowed the problem down to scrolling...
If I scroll a page for just one second, the card immediatley kicks into 3D mode - causing higher clock speeds and fan/temp increases. A few seconds later, it reverts back to 2D mode until I scroll again.
I have tried disabling HW acceleration and smooth scrolling, but the problem persists...
Is this a known issue? Any ideas if it is caused by drivers or the Firefox browser? I do not get the same problem using IE9, with HW acceleration enabled...
Any ideas guys? As a last resort, is it possible to fake a 3D profile to match the same clockspeed as 2D? For when I am not gaming?
