OCCT 3.1.0 shows HD4870/4890 design flaw - they can't handle the new GPU test !

[trinibwoy]

Making a design that is good for the upper 1% of applications that aren't widely used at an extra cost doesn't make a whole lot of business sense.

Well hopefully this doesn't extend into the future. Because as hardware becomes more generalized the idea of limiting the scope of "normal applications" will go away. There's no such notion on CPUs and soon won't be on GPUs either.

i Dont know if it helps u but here :

This was done with a newer Version of Powercolor HD 4870 1GB PCS
800/925 (stock on new revision is 780/925)
BIOS 02/24/09 21:07
ATOMBIOSBK-ATI VER011.013.000.002.000000

Like u said before ,no Blackscreen

But i have the same Powercolor with old Revision,i´ll test it in the next half an hour.
