If you installed the new driver you should have ATI Catalyst Control Panel. Open it and click on view, select advanced view, in the graphics setting box select overdrive. If overdrive is enabled it will give you your GPU temp.

Hmmmm... Here is the driver that I used» . You may have got the one that comes with Control Panel instead of Control Center.

nope i defo got that one says to overwrite the .exe so im sure its correct maybe my card is faulty or soemthing ? :S or missing something :S because ti doesnt detect the chipset sometimes , Rob.

Maybe your card didn’t come with the lm63 monitoring chip. I have read a few articles on your freezing problem. There are a few things that seemed to work for people with this problem. Try disabling fast writes and VPU recover in the bios. Also do you have Smartgart in your Catalyst Control Panel? If so you could try moving your AGP speed to 4X (If its not there already) and you could try turning fast write off there as well. Hope some of this helps. Ill keep looking. :mrgreen:

You shouldnt notice a diffrence. Benchmarks show 1-2 fps diffrence if even that. :wink:

Also I added a post to the fact section of the forums that may help. »
