Re: Sapphire 4850 X2 Over Heating
honestly the only way that I know of to find out if the drivers are wonky, is to try driver that are older than 9.4. seems like ever since that version, IMO things have hit the fan in terms of issues.

Re: Sapphire 4850 X2 Over Heating
I don't know that this is driver issues at play or not.  But for the longest time I only bought nVidia because of the better drivers.  My first real video card was a Radeon 7200 then it was the Geforce Ti 4400 and subsequently more nVidia products after that.  At the time too ATi didn't update their drivers nearly as often as nVidia did.
