I would say it's about damn time that 4k card fan control was introduced, but since I swapped to an Accelero S1, I haven't been fussed about temps or noise.
I really hope this update fixes the screen rotation issue in linux, as well as the xvideo issues...hell, I'd be happy with one or the other. I'm really not impressed with ATI's support for linux, wish I had gone with an intel or nvidia based gpu
* This release of Catalyst™ introduces fan control (within the ATI Catalyst Control Center Overdrive tab) for the ATI Radeon™ HD 4000 Series of products
Thats a lie it'll work for any ATI 2xx0 3xx0 or 4xx0 video cards that have a controlable fan inplace!!
