The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

Wow... kinda cheating the system but that's one way to do it!

Where are you getting a 90 day return policy though?

Ever heard of the EVGA Step-Up program?

This . . . this is a real fanboy . . . .


You dont have a clue of the final card and you are saying that you will buy 2 and within 90 days change them over . . .

You have no clue how absolutely fed up I am with AMD Catalyst drivers right now..

I have owned two Sapphire Radeon HD 5970 cards for six weeks now, neither of which has worked to produce advertised performance results in Quad-CrossFireX since the day they arrived on my doorstep. The issue described in a recent Tom's Hardware article is nothing more than an improper temperature sensor reporting bug that has been present since Catalyst 9.12 by my knowledge (but has probably persisted even further back), of which I have fallen victim to.

The only solution to the issue lies with the Catalyst makers (see: Terry Makedon) and driver engineers over in Ontario, Canada. Until then, Radeon HD 5000-series owners like myself who are experiencing the unfortunate setbacks of the latest Catalyst driver renditions will either have to join together and mass appeal against AMD's driver development team (see: the purpose of forum cooperation), or simply sit back and wait 30 days between new driver releases until the problem is eventually resolved for every single user on the planet.


This was my first Radeon purchase in over six years, and will probably be my last for quite some time to come..
