Ξεχνανε να αναφερουν πως τα ποσοστα αυτα ειναι σε σχεση με τους 8......

Αχ τι κανει το Marketing.

[frenzy]

M' αρέσει που ασχολήθηκαν αρκετά με video fixes πάντως.

[stefa_1]

Εχει δει κανενας σας καμια διαφορα στην θερμοκρασια με τους νεους drivers ?

Αν και έχω aftermarket ψύκτρα,το πιο χαμηλό που είδα ήταν 36C (-2C απο τους 9,1).Αυτό βέβαια μπορεί να είναι και τυχαίο.

Αν αναφέρεσαι στο auto-fan speed bug των 4870,νομίζω οτι η μόνη λύση είναι flash-άρισμα της κάρτας με τροποποιημένο bios.

Πάντως είδα +50 πόντους στο 3dmark 06 σε σχέση με την προηγούμενη έκδοση.Σε παιχνίδια δέν έχω δεί ακόμα...

Εμένα πάλι,μου ανέβασε λίίίγο τα ρολόγια...

 

Απο 750 που ήταν του πυρίνα πήγε 780 και της μνήμες απο 900 στα 930.

Μαλλον αυτα ειναι και τα default της καρτας σου...

 

Κι εγω ειδα -2C διαφορα.Μαλλον δεν ειναι τυχαιο.

[stefa_1]

Την HD4850 εχω κ καθεται στους 68 βαθμους τωρα στο 45 % και δεν εχω καμια ορεξη να πεταω λεφτα για ψυκτρες.

[giorgos147]

Μα με τους 9,1 ήταν 750 και 900....Τέλος πάντων...

Δεν ειναι θεμα βαρεμαρας αλλα οικονομικο θεμα.Γιατι μια καλη ψυκτρα θελει 30 ευρω και την καταλληλη τοποθετηση.Εγω οταν προσπαθησα να βγαλω την παρουσα ψυκτρα δεν ηθελε να βγει με τιποτα και φοβηθηκα μην διαλυσω την καρτα/ψυκτρα

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

As confirmed by the CatalystMaker himself, Terry Makedon on his Twitter page Radeon owners will be treated to the Catalyst 9.3 next week. Apparently set for a March 18 release, the new driver will mark the end of regular support for all cards older than the Radeon HD 2000 series and it will also be available in Windows 7 form for those testing out Microsoft's upcoming OS. Set your clocks, more Catalysts are coming up.
