Demetori Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 After using an intergraded chipset family thing on a Dell laptop, and getting only 5fps lowest settings on Oblivion just days ago let me tell you with a NVIDIA GeForce GT 240 it's such an improvement. Max settings and great fps, I can't believe it. :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordHornswoggle Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 2x VisionTek Radeon HD 4650 512MB in Crossfire. Been working great for awhile, all of a sudden card one gets hot for no apparent reason. Used to run at 43-44 C when idle. Never saw it go above 60-65 C, even when playing FO3 on Ultra settings. Now it idles at 85-86 C, and since Catalyst (or my cards) seems to have no fan control, not sure what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
