Hello,
I have a Dell XPS with Windows 7 and an ATI 5770 Video Card. Under normal use, with minimal graphics demand, the card temperature was about 95 to 98 degrees F. When the graphics demand was high, the card failed each time the temperature reached 104 degrees.
Dell sent me a Video card BIOS update that cured the overheating problem. I ran a 3D 'Burn-In' test for four hours after updating the BIOS... The temperature remained at 113 degrees F throughout the test... Good news, no failure...
Release Date: 5/2/2010
