I don't think OC'ing thru software should cause this ing crap. Let's see who else get's "lucky".

What's their thermal envelope? I can imagine that great increases in shader counts might mean it will be more sensetive to cooling? Naw come on, if it were so simple Ati wouldn't have released them they would have noticed during QA..

*looks at thread tittle*...

maybe not?

and this is why i didnt go with xfire. i used to have 2x x1950xtx in crossfire a couple years ago and had nothing but problems.

every time AMD/ATI comes out with a new gen of cards there are people that proclaim that all the problems are fixed and everything is perfect now.

but every time there are more problems.

anyway hope they fix this stuff soon because the cards seemed really great, at least on paper.
