Re: Catalyst 8.7 is out

I just hope they fixed some bugs I reported to them, involving Loki Heroes Of Mythology, Neverwinter Nights 2, Battle For Middle Earth 2, and a couple of other game bugs I reported to them.

Re: Catalyst 8.7 is out

Doesn't look like the fan issue has been solved yet from reading other forums.

I have my Diamond HD 4870 and a Asus P5Q Pro on the way, should arrive by the weekend

Re: Catalyst 8.7 is out

Most of the fan issues on the 3870X2 cards were resolved with a bios update. ATI still hasn't fixed a series of bugs I reported to them. I honestly wonder what is their friggin problem, and do they have they heads in the sand.

He was talking about the 48xx fan issues. You have to manually edit some settings after creating a profile in CCC.
