G'day .. I have been having a weird problem with my Radeon 1900 XTX. I have updated to the newest Radeon driver (Cat 7.7), which still does not fix my problem .. which is ..
Ever since the last few 1/2 dozen of Catalyst drivers, I've noticed that the fan on the card doesn't turn on to help cool the card. Only when I use ATItool and force it to run at a certain speed 100% of the time, does the card work in high graphic games (Oblivions, Stalker). With the latest Catalyst, I can atleast play WoW without forcing the fan on, however, Oblivion keeps on crashing. The screen goes black, and I can't recover save rebooting the PC.
Has anyone else had this problem? I could swear the earlier Catalyst worked the fan without a problem .. but now, nothing.
I can't tell if its a defunct card, because I can set ATItool to have it start the fan at a certain temp, but that doesn't always work.
