sounds like i should try out the new 12.7 beta?

i was on 12.6 official

my rig was running fine on 12.6 beta

no idea why 12.6 official could be so problematic



yes, my Eyefinity 6 runs great on 1 card

but i wanted CF with the 2nd card, which has been mostly collecting dust on the side, since no drivers works well when it's on CF until i started using 12.6 beta,

then i though, lets try the final release of 12.6 and that's when **** happened again....

I'm playing BF3 with ultra settings with whatever it sets the AA to, I think 4x. Hasn't dropped off 60fps at all with vsync on. 150+ with vsync off. I using 12.4 whql and no caps lol.
Yes sir I'm loving this dell. I mean I hate dell but I can't say I hate this monitor tongue.gif . Will never buy a dell pc ever again tho. This monitor keeps impressing me like crazy. Avatar blue ray drool.gif BF3 looks pretty insane too. You see way more detail at 2560x1600 then you do with a 24" 1080p, even having 3 in eyefinity like I did.
Gotta hold back, don't buy 2 more u3011's biggrin.gif

Yes sir bought 1 30" awhile back if you remember and now have 3 .. Looks way better then 1080p by far

Something doesn't sound right with that. I also have reference 7970's and with fans on auto, they won't get up to 50% unless the system is under load and at idle temps are below 50.

That does not sound right to me either.

65C idle with 50% fan speed really does not sound right. It almost sound as if the card is under load at all time. The card should not idle 65C @ 50% fan speed. Have you checked MSI Afterburner to see what kind of load the card is under? What Drivers are you running. I found 12.6 to be Terrible. Raised my temps and even caused gameplay to be sluggish. Switched to 12.7 and its perfect now

Yes, I agree, at that speed of the fan, on idle you should be within the late 30's at the very most.

On the 13th (my bday biggrin.gif ) I just upgraded from CrossFire 5850's to an HIS IceQ 7950 and this thing is awesome. It beats my 5850's by a decent amount, is much quieter, and uses a lot less power. And got room on my mobo and PSU headroom for a second one down the road!

someone over at hardocp helped me fix my OpenCL error I was having. I had to disable my onboard video in my BIOS and after I did that the OpenCL error went away and GPUZ now has a check mark in the OpenCL box. They should have it so once you put in an aftermarket card it should Auto Disable Onboard video in the BIOS.
