Aiw X800XT Help

Does anyone know if the AiW X800XT has ...
Support for Overdrive?
Temperature monitoring (in ATI tool would be fine if theres no OD)
Support for dual monitors *AND* a TV?

I'm about to drop the rest of my remaining cash from my last paycheck on this so I want to know before I buy it

Was lookin for this topic or something close.

I have an X850XT, runs great, love it. Although, sometimes when I start my comp, the overdrive will load with the cat, sometimes it won't. When it loads, it clocks the card up nicely and it runs good. No overwhelming difference in performance on AAO, SWBF, or EQII. However, sometimes it won't load at all. Rebooting cold several times might get it back, might not...seems to be a bug with the runtime. Under the start menu, the cat has a subfolder marked advanced, and in that folder is "Restart Runtime", but it does nothing when clicked. I do not believe that I have disabled runtime scripts, but then again...you never know what you do when its late and you are sleepy.

Thanks for any elph with this issue.

as i stated in the previous thread, Overdrive isnt available in CCC and also Temp monitoring isnt available in CCC however you can monitor x800xt's temp using a 3rd party software called ATI Tool

I know about ATI tool.... Im cool with that, I just wont overclock till im ready to void the warranty.

The only thing i wanna know about now is the monitor issue...can I run 2 CRT's and a TV all at the same time or is there a limit in software?

If it isnt available, then why will it sometimes load? Since I have used the Overdrive, this means that it IS available, just seems to be an issue with it and the X850s. Temperature monitoring works fine, same temps as ATITool displays WHEN overdrive loads at startup, the temp isnt sent to the tray icon though.
