i have an ATI x1900xtx and have a few questions on temps. it idles around 58c and goes as high as 72c in heavy graphics sessions. i have spent the past week trying to find out what the acceptable operating temps are for this card and if anyone would like to share their temps with me i'd appreciate it.
also, i am getting these benchmarks and see several of you with higher scores. i wonder if this is just my system. i am certain it is not the card or clocks.
3dmark5 - 9,175 (avg)
3dmark6 - 6,062 (avg)
i have been an nvidia person forever, but the color from ati cards is just phenomonal and this card is incredible beyond words and blows me away.
my system is:
xp 32 bit sp2
dual Xeon 3.6 processors
6 gigs 400 (PC2 3200) ECC ram (2mgs still sitting there from when xp 64 bit installed)
650 watt psu
2 optical drives
2 sata drives
audigy z2
x1900xtx
nothing else odd or special. it is my main production system and i try to keep it pretty vanilla.
