Hi I am searching for a Sapphier 9800xt 256MB Hynix 2,5 Bios with OVERDRIVE. I already knwo all sites in the web but after flashing my Sapphier 9800pro 256 Hynix 2,5 (with thermo controlle) the Overdrive-Tab does not apear. Please if anybody has a Sapphier 9800xt 256MB Hynix 2,5 Biosfile please send it to me ;(
I don't have the card anymore to confirm with that, but AFAIK, the new drivers don't support OVERDRIVE anymore.
THX before falshing my 9800pro (pcb 9800xt with Hynix 2.5) i wanted to know if the temperature of my card is to high. ATItool says that the GPU Temperatur is 80°C (not idle) and GPU-Environement is 58°C. Is the temperature to high for my card or is it acceptable? THX Matthias
i have a sapphire 9800xt ulitimate edition (hynx memory 256mb) and 80c is not that bad if under load they always did run hot mine hits 74c. and as for the oberdrive tab it does work on the latest catalyst 6.1 drivers as i have it on my pc dont worry about it as the 9800 xt chip is good it 120 degrees c
I think you'll find 120C would be the point it would stop working and or cause damage and long before that you would have been seeing artifacts and random lockups, there is no way anything over 80C is healthy for ANY card even if not damaged right way constant temps of 80+ is going to reduce the lifetime of your hardware
I changed my cooler and now the GPU temperature is about 56°C (idle) Should be much better, isn't it?!
