none ever reads my posts it seems ...oh well
my Gainward 4870 reference goes to 72A in crysis at 1600x1200 no aa no af catalyst driver defaults 9.5 after about 5 minutes using the carrier level at the end of the game
and it crashes after 30 mins -1 hour ...seems to be very random maybe it spikes to 83 A during certain shader intensive scenes causing it to crash ... no artifacts no texture bugs just restarts the pc

don't use the riva osd ingame because you will get false data .let riva monitor your card in the background if you want to see your true Amps.
i don't know what to use to see the exact amps at the time of the crash because when it happens my pc restarts and i guess riva tunner does not have time to record the last value
